    I guess the colorist decided to give the ladies a makeover, Delia usually has black hair and the hippie roommate (Gaia was it?) is usually a blonde

    They used to carve turnips as pumpkins are new world. Interesting fact, farmer’s could over winter animals by feeding them turnips instead of slaughtering in fall. Turnips were a big deal.

    Jack Pumpkinhead in Oz is a being brought to life by the substance of animated life. Even so he can change heads as each head rots, so he cultivates them for replacements.

    Seán Na Gealaí A plaster cast of an Irish Seán na Gealaí turnip lantern from the early 20th century at the Museum of Country Life.

    According to Irish mythology, Samhain (like Bealtaine) was a time when the ‘doorways’ to the Otherworld opened, allowing supernatural beings and the souls of the dead to come into our world; while Bealtaine was a summer festival for the living, Samhain “was essentially a festival for the dead”.32 The Boyhood Deeds of Fionn says that the sídhe (fairy mounds or portals to the Otherworld) “were always open at Samhain”.33 Each year the fire-breather Aillen emerges from the Otherworld and burns down the palace of Tara during the Samhain festival after lulling everyone to sleep with his music. One Samhain, the young Fionn mac Cumhaill is able to stay awake and slays Aillen with a magical spear, for which he is made leader of the fianna. In a similar tale, one Samhain the Otherworld being Cúldubh comes out of the burial mound on Slievenamon and snatches a roast pig. Fionn kills Cúldubh with a spear throw as he re-enters the mound. Fionn’s thumb is caught between the door and the post as it shuts, and he puts it in his mouth to ease the pain. As his thumb had been inside the Otherworld, Fionn is bestowed with great wisdom. This may refer to gaining knowledge from the ancestors.34 Acallam na Senórach (‘Colloquy of the Elders’) tells how three female werewolves emerge from the cave of Cruachan (an Otherworld portal) each Samhain and kill livestock. When Cas Corach plays his harp, they take on human form, and the fianna warrior Caílte then slays them with a spear.35 Wikipedia

    Dehlia and her freaky hippie-wannabe roommate are celebrating the same thing according to differing traditions. Get over it, girls!

    FAKE! the gourds came from America, the ancient Celtic people hollowed out turnips, clearly she’s just too much of a lazy poser
