Wicker Man
Despite being covered in a classic 1970s horror film, the tradition which the Celts named 'Wicker Man' had a much more innocent purpose, They would burn the wicker man at night on their equivalent of Halloween, which fell at the end of the Celtic year and represented an important milestone in the Celtic calendar. This was done to appease their gods of fire.
