Halloween (or Hallowe’en … but also known as Samhain, Summer’s End, All Hallow’s Eve, Witches Night, Lamswool, and Snap-Apple), is a holiday that’s celebrated annually on the night of October 31.
It originated in Ireland, and is celebrated in quite a few countries including Ireland itself, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Sweden among others.
It’s celebrated in a variety of ways and activities including trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, “haunted house” tours, carving pumpkins (Jack-o’-lanterns) and reading / watching scary stories / movies.
In honour of this night of witches, pumpkins and all things “ween” we have some special offers on products that are in “theme”. Of course, you wouldn’t expect to find much else on a Gothic Fantasy inspired site, but we have chosen products where we can give you the very best deals when it comes to saving pennies. With up to 55% off, these items could be worth a look – hurry though, as the offers are only until the end of the month and while stocks last!!
We will leave you with this great poem; The Hag by Robert Herrick. Have a great Halloween, until next time…
THE HAG
The hag is astride this night for to ride,
The devil and she together;
Through thick and through thin,
Now out and then in,
Though ne’er so foul be the weather.
A thorn or a burr she takes for a spur,
With a lash of a bramble she rides now;
Through brakes and through briars,
O’er ditches and mires,
She follows the spirit that guides now.
No beast for his food dare now range the wood,
But hush’d in his lair he lies lurking;
While mischiefs, by these,
On land and on seas,
At noon of night are a-working.
The storm will arise and trouble the skies;
This night, and more for the wonder,
The ghost from the tomb
Affrighted shall come,
Call’d out by the clap of the thunder.
Today has been a busy one at MnG with products becoming low stock, and a couple of sellouts!!
The bad news is that if you were waiting until payday for Nemesis Now! products Adelina and Vamp, they have sold out and are currently on back order.
The very bad news is Nemesis Now! Fairy in Thought has sold out and has been discontinued, so we won’t be able to restock this product
The good news is that we still have lots of products to add to our store, and new products coming in daily, so please check back often for store updates!
