About Halloween:

Originally a Celtic celebration of protecting against evil spirits, Halloween has become a modern celebration for fun and make believe.

Carving jack o lanterns began as a Celtic tradition to scare off evil spirits with the scary faces carved into pumpkins. Today pumpkin-carving is an artistic experience!

Most American Halloween traditions were first inherited from Irish and Scottish immigrants. 

Samhain and All Saints Day:

Halloween is short for “hallow’s eve”, the eve of All Saints Day on November 1 which recognizes higher souls that have risen to an afterlife. In Mexico November 2 is celebrated as All Souls Day.

The first night of Samhain, the 31st October, became All Hallows Eve – which morphed into what we know today as Halloween. November 1 is Samhain, a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or ‘darker half’ of the year.

Celebrations on October 31 overnight into November 1 acknowledge the time of year when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinnest.

Astrologically, Halloween night falls on the 10th day of Sun in Scorpio.
