New Samhain (Halloween) Designs!!!

Shop Celtic Hammer Club Samhain (Halloween) Apparel NOW!

It's that time of year again! Time to break out the zip ups and crack open the pumpkin ales! It's almost time to celebrate SAMHAIN, or as many of you know it, Halloween!

Halloween is so much fun. Carving pumpkins, dressing up, scary movies, and, of course, lots of candy. What many don't know, is that the spectacle of Halloween and all its goblin goodness has its feet firmly planted in the traditions of the pre-Christian Celtic peoples of Ireland and Scotland!

That's right! Everything from carving pumpkins (although they used turnips back then) to the superstitious practices of trick-or-treating have their origins with the ancient Celts! For this reason, Halloween is near and dear to Celtic Hammer Club, since we love all things Celtic!

Our Samhain designs pay homage to the Celtic roots of Halloween while also celebrating the fun of being a little scared every October 31st. Creepy twisted trees, unsettling witches with their black magic, jack o' lanterns poised at window sills to ward off evil spirits are all part of the tradition represented on our one of a kind apparel.

If you love Halloween as much as we do, you're going to want to get a tee or a zip up to really stand out at your Halloween party or parade!

Men's, women's, zip ups, and more all available at celtichammerclub.com

Women's styles also available in all designs



ALSO, TRAVEL MUGS, PHONE CASES, POSTERS, PRINTS AND MORE!

Celtic Cross - Hammer!

SHOP FOR APPAREL WITH THIS DESIGN HERE!

   I've always thought Celtic crosses looked cool. The image of stone crosses with the intricate medieval ornamentation dotting the rolling hills of Britain and Ireland is almost eerie. It makes me think of a time when the "magic" of the old pagan ways was just meeting the new Roman Christianity. They are like a window into the past; remnants of an older, mysterious world. Not to mention the artwork on the crosses is incredible.

   I have also been captivated by the art work of the Vikings and Medieval Germanic peoples. Their interaction with the Celts over previous centuries led to similar styles in ornamentation (for example, when you see Celtic artwork that incorporates animal motifs, this is actually Germanic/Norse in origin rather than Celtic, but the Celts adopted the style and used it extensively in their own works. These motifs are now often identified as Celtic as much as they are Norse/Germanic).

   I have also been particularly captivated by the Mjolnir symbol worn since the Vikings were haunting the high seas. I love it's simplicity and the strength and protection that it represents.

   So, I am always looking for ways to emulate the Celtic and Norse styles into my own designs. The new design below is no different. It combines the Celtic symbol of the Celtic cross with the Nordic symbol of Mjolnir to create a powerful image that pays homage to the past while keeping the spirit of the symbolism alive in the present day.

The Men's tee is pictured below, but, as always, we have styles for the girls and zip hoodies available HERE!

"Angel of Death" Celtic Harp

The Celtic harp is a triangular harp traditional to Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In Ireland and Scotland it was a wire-strung instrument requiring great skill and long practice to play, and was associated with the Gaelic ruling class. In the Republic of Ireland, it appears on the coins and coat of arms. You'll even find it on the pints of Guinness that you have been guzzling down!

The Irish Brigades of the American Civil War identified themselves with a green flag emblazoned with a harp. This version incorporates an angel into the construction of the instrument with the phrase "Erin Go Bragh" ("Ireland Forever") beneath the celestial looking harp.

I wanted to recreate this image, but with a Celtic Hammer Club twist (as always). I could have drawn my own beautiful, heavenly, cosmic, stellar, cherub and turned her into the front piece of the magnificent harp. But, no. I decided to create a bad ass looking skull and bones, jagged wings, and some additional Celtic swirls and knots to create the Celtic Hammer Club "Angel of Death" Celtic harp!

Men's, women's, tanks, hoodies, etc. all available HERE!!!!

"BERSERKER TRAINING!" Gear

Go BERSERK in the gym with some Celtic Hammer Club "Berserker Training" gym apparel.

Viking "Berserkers" were an elite group of Viking warriors. Known as "Odin's special warrirors", they fought with such insane ferocity that they didn't even distinguish between friend or foe! Basically, anything that came near a Berserker while in a trance-like fury was about to become hamburger meat!

Celtic Hammer Club has used the legendary intensity of the Berserker warriors to create this line of gym apparel for those of you who like to go berserk in the gym! There are tanks, muscle shirts, and t-shirts featuring a very intense, over-the-top Berserker getting his swole on.

CHC "BERSERKER Training" Gear

"His (Odin's) men rushed forwards without armour, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild oxen, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon them."

"Luck of the Irish!"

"Luck of the Irish" apparel now available in the CHC store!

Feeling lucky? This original, one of a kind design features one of the most iconic slogans of the Irish people, but why are Irish people considered to be “lucky”? When Irish immigrants came to America, they faced so much adversity and hardship that the term “luck of the Irish” became popular as a sort of sarcastic joke to describe the poor Irish immigrants’ decidedly bad luck.

Since then, the slogan has taken on new meaning, and the four leaf shamrock is considered a particularly lucky symbol for the Irish and Irish culture.

This design can be a fun way to express your Irish pride any time of the year, but it would also make a particularly great gift for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations!
