The Pagan Lady

Posted on November 12, 2015November 28, 2015 by Peter Killey

The Pagan Lady These two images were taken recently in the Manx Museum Viking Gallery. Excavations in Peel Castle in 1982/87 revealed an extensive graveyard. The most spectacular finds were the 10th century grave of “The Pagan Lady” which included a fine example of a Viking necklace of which there is 71 differently coloured beads. The replicate of the original beads can be seen on the Pagan Lady in both of my images.

Hop tu Naa – At Cooil Road in Douglas. Do you know the difference between Halloween and Hop Tu Naa?

Hop tu Naa is celebrated with the carving of turnips for lanterns as opposed to the pumpkins that are commonly used for Halloween. Children will then go singing around the houses for hop tu Naa treats, this was once apples, bonnag and herring but as the years have gone by it’s now sweets and pennies. Children visit the houses in fancy dress costumes and with their spooky turnip lantern. A favourite…
