Twin Beliefs

Seems that in both Yoruba and Muskoke Creek traditions, twins were thought to be a strange thing.
They were feared and deemed dangerous because it was said that they are privy to the unknown, unseen
and untold things. This power made them an oddity.
If twins are same sex, they were thought to be friends or relatives in their previous life.
If they are opposite sex, they were thought to be husband and wife in their previous life.

I feel strange around my birthday and around samhain because i am a twin. My brother decided
after just a short time here that he didn't like it. He wanted to stay on the other side. He can totally cover more ground
than me that way!! Maybe he didn't wanna be here but I've always wanted
him to be here and that feeling never subsides.

Happy Birthday to us!
