 Samhain is Celtic Halloween and it may partly explain why we dress up for Halloween. It is the Gaelic word for November and tradition states that at this time of year the ancient burial mounds open meaning that it's easier to communicate with the Celtic other world and interact with the likes of fairies in the East Sea. As it was easier to cross over between the Celtic other world and the human realm, ancient Celts would often dress up as animals or monsters to scare fairies or other entities from the other world, kidnapping them into the other world, like in Stranger Things. This ancient pagan festival stretches back thousands of years and in ancient times the Druids would often lead massive community fires, sort of bonfire type events where they would light it using a peel, a representation of the sun. In this marked the dark half of the year. Happy sound and please subscribe.
