HALLOWEEN SPECIAL: This is Galaico-Lusitanian Halloween!

Cork Out History: Portugal Revisited

Off with their heads! The spookiest of nights, the ghostliest of seasons, Halloween roots go way back in the history of humankind! More than an imported tradition, the peninsular ancestry of this celebration brings about gods like Crouga, entities like Cuca, heads on spikes, and carved turnips! From the celts to the Romans, from pre-Portugal history to nowadays traditions, on this episode we will fly over some of these spooky legends, rituals and traditions - on our brooms, obviously! Come carve your pumpkin or your favourite skull with us and taste the Wine of the Dead - a very fitting option for this very special episode! #corkouthistorypod #corkouthistory #historypodcast #galaicolusitanian #crouga #celticgods #halloweentraditions #halloween #spooky #skulls #cuca #magusto #beira #pumpkincarving #turnipcarving #carving #huesca #skullart #headsonspikes #headcult #myhts #coca #crouga #cruach #krowko #crug #thisishalloween #allsaints #harvestseason
