Histórias, lendas e poemas.
O elemento imaginativo no caráter da raça céltica naturalmente os predispõe à recepção e retenção de ideias fantasiosas em conexão com nossas relações com o invisível. Agudamente cientes da existência de influências sobrenaturais, eles estão morbidamente curiosos quanto ao modo como agem sobre a humanidade, e sempre desejosos de propiciar ou se proteger contra elas. Há algo na presença do mar e das montanhas que alimenta o hábito do devaneio; e a mente, maravilhada e perplexa com a vastidão das forças da Natureza, é levada a dar-lhes uma encarnação real e definida, e a associá-los diretamente com os incidentes de nossa vida mortal. Admitida a existência de criaturas invisíveis, não há razão para que o homem, que vê o universo como um círculo do qual é o centro, não deve supor que eles estejam interessados em tudo que lhe interessa; e quando isso é admitido, segue-se como um resultado inevitável que ele se empenhará em torná-los agentes de sua inclinação ou vontade, a menos que os tema como poderes cuja raiva deve ser reverentemente reprovada. Veremos que a maioria das superstições populares a que nos referimos se baseia nesses motivos; que a maioria deles tem origem no desejo de subornar e bajular a Fortuna, ou comandá-la e derrotá-la. Outros terão sua origem, como sugerimos, nos sentimentos de admiração e admiração despertados pelo mistério ou pela grandeza da Natureza.
W. H. Davenport Adams - 05.05.1828, Londres / 30 de dezembro de 1891, Londres.
SUPERSTIÇÕES ESCOCESAS: HALLOWEEN.
A algumas das superstições que assombram os vales, picos e torrentes das Terras Altas da Escócia, o poeta Collins aludiu em uma de suas mais belas odes. Ele fala do Norte como uma terra de fantasia, onde ainda, dizem, o povo das fadas se encontra, sob a sombra das bétulas graciosas, no hidromel ou na colina. À crença em uma tribo de hobgoblins, criaturas minúsculas, visitando a cabana do camponês no silêncio da noite, ele também se refere:
"É teu para cantar, como, emoldurando feitiços hediondos,
Na ilha solitária de Skye, o talentoso vidente feiticeiro,
Alojado na caverna de inverno com a lança do destino,
Ou nas profundezas da floresta escura de Uist habitam:
Como eles, cuja visão é tão sombria os sonhos absorvem,
Com sua própria visão, muitas vezes espantada, caem,
Quando, sobre a estrada aquosa, ou musgo atordoante.
Eles vêem a tropa sem corpo dos fantasmas planadores.
Ou, se nos esportes, ou no verde festivo,
Seu olhar destinado algum jovem predestinado avista,
Quem agora, talvez, em vigor vigoroso visto,
E saúde rosada, em breve lamentará morrer.
Para eles, as formas sem visão do ar obedecem;
Atendam às suas ordens e à sua disposição:
Eles sabem que espírito prepara o dia tempestuoso,
E sem coração, muitas vezes como uma loucura temperamental, olham
para ver o fantasma treinar seu trabalho secreto preparar.
Samuel L. Schmucker

ALL HALLOWE'EN (véspera do Dia de Todos-os-Santos)
Poema
(Shadow March)
Em toda a casa é a noite negra como azeviche,
Ele olha pela vidraça,
Ele se arrasta nos cantos se escondendo da luz
E se move com a chama em movimento.
Agora meu pequeno coração bate como um tambor,
Com a respiração do bogie* no meu cabelo,
Enquanto ao redor da vela as sombras tortas vêm
E vá marchando escada acima.
A sombra do balaústre, a sombra da luz,
A sombra da criança que vai para a cama,
Todas as sombras perversas vêm um vagabundo, vagabundo, vagabundo,
Com a noite escura em cima.
* bicho papão
