ASMR | Stories of Samhain ✤ Softly Spoken Irish Tales ✤

A special, spooky night of Irish storytelling! First, a brief look at Samhain, or the Celtic origins of Halloween; Irish folklore, followed by tellings of some of my favorite Irish fairy tales. I very much hope you enjoy! *Trigger Warning: Some of the following content may be mildly disturbing for sensitive viewers with anxiety and /or PTSD; please proceed with caution. I may have gotten a little bit excited with some of these stories and perhaps went at too fast a pace for some...sorry about that! :P By the way I really tried being on camera for this but I failed miserably. Also dogs barked all night. Also my camera kept shutting off. Also. :D I have found that every Irish person tells the same story differently, and that's part of their Irish charm. ;) You may find that a traditional tale you know well is slightly adapted in these readings. I hope you can still enjoy these tales just like I did when I first heard them! I first thought of a Samhain Halloween special last year but ran out of time to complete it. It was my first year in Ireland and I had heard a few different Irish storytellers and just loved the passion they had when telling stories of Ireland. So this is my homage to the wonderful, beautiful country that is the reason for the season... which is Halloween! :P | Sources & Inspiration | Éiníní , Irish Lullaby:    • Irish Lullaby (Einini)   History of Samhain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain http://www.newgrange.com/samhain.htm The Tale of Shamus Rhua: http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/iwd/i...
