Acquire some Celtic ornamentation. Celtic-based jewelry is very, very common these days and should be easy to find, particularly online. If you are Christian, the Celtic cross is an iconic and beautiful symbol of Medieval Celtic culture. If you are not Christian, or do not wish to wear a cross, there are many other Celtic symbols such as the trisilekon.The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple, and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of bobbing for apples that is practiced today on Halloween. All Saints' Day By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide Halloween parties as the featured entertainment.

It doesn't make any sense that a culture with the fine metalworking techniques seen in torcs and other surviving artifacts would be running around in rags and tatters, yet this is the common perception of what people wore. Many of the ancient Celts of Britannia were known for dyeing their skin blue with an early natural dye known as woad, which contained small amounts of indigo, and thus blue is a recommended color for these symbols, followed by red and green.

They were a simple 'T' shape and worn at any length from the knee to the ankle. Men would wear a tunic with a belt, a cloak and trousers. We made a Celtic costume out of bits and bobs we had at home. Old pajamas, especially if they are tartanish, are perfect for a Celt. I gave T an old pair of mine. They were a bit big, but he didn’t mind 🙂
