Happy Samhain ( "sow-in" with the "ow" like in "cow.")
Traditionally, it is celebrated from 31 October to 1 November, as the Celtic day began and ended at sunset. This is about halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice.
During this festival, the world of the gods “was believed to be made visible to humankind,” leading to supernatural tricks and trouble; ghosts of the dead and spirits from the Otherworld were also thought to return to the earth during Samhain.
To appease deities during this time, sacrifices (generally of crops and animals) were burned in bonfires as a protective measure from from evil otherworldly beings and offerings were left out for other visiting mischievous spirits.
Tricks and pranks were often played, but blamed on fairies and spirits during the three-day period when the line between the two worlds blurred.
Hope everyone Enjoys the day!
