Roscommon—the “Cave of Cats”—opens as a gateway to the Otherworld. 🌙<br/><br/>Queen Medb’s haunt releases spectral Cat Sìth and Púca spirits into the night. Locals once gathered by the fire to share eerie tales, then dared moonlit games near the cave mouth for luck, love… or a shiver of fright. 🌕🎲🖤<br/><br/> That is Ireland’s gate to Hell. 🔥<br/><br/>#CaveofCats #Samhain #Oweynagat<br/><br/>Photo credit: Gillaween, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/117/519/868/996/071/895/original/960fe3e4f7836ba2.png"> 2026-10-28T18:10:16Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsz7jtjtaajdhw8ugqjr9k4r0af957mtv0a0drt24guxesfxpv9rcqzyq88n37csr4ah2fu89uyp4j950u0gwjk03gshxfzgevwhkpezwfzvyd5d0l Celebrating the hauntingly beautiful art of Iren Horrors, featuring Hecate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft, magic and crossroads. 🔥🗝️<br/>Keeper of torches and keys, she stands at the threshold between worlds. <br/>#MythologyMonday #Hecate #IrenHorrors #Samhain 🕯️ #Halloween 🎃 #AncientGreek #Religion #Mythology<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/117/508/424/728/260/118/original/c2c9e62cdd1b2030.jpg"> 2026-10-26T17:37:52Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrulgnaj0464vwa4zy0zg0xv4gagxzmcpn6hegfkf7rr6wsrrpgzczyq88n37csr4ah2fu89uyp4j950u0gwjk03gshxfzgevwhkpezwfzv9y8lu8 #MythologyMonday🐱✨ <br/>The Norwegian Forest Cat is said to be a fairy or a goblin in DISGUISE. <br/><br/>Those large, luminous eyes aren’t just beautiful.
