When the winds are howling and darkness falls remember this....the Celtics called this day Samhain which is old Irish and means "summers end".
It marks the end of the "lighter half" of the year and starts the "darker half" of the year.
The Celts believed that the border between this world and the otherworld became thin on Samhain, allowing spirits, both harmless and harmful, to pass through.
It is believed that the wearing of costumes and masks could ward off the harmful spirits.
So don your best costume to keep the spooks at bay!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
