31 Days of All hallows Eve

I love, love Halloween I guess because it’s a very old celebration that date backs about 2,000 years. The origins of this celebration that date’s back to the ancient Celtic’s who celebrated a festival called Samhan. When that area around which is know Ireland, Northern France and what is the United Kingdom celebrated the New Year November 1. That marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter and time for harvesting. The Celtic’s believed that the night before the New Year October 31^st that the lines between the world of the living and the dead were blurred. There celebration of Samhan was based on this belief that the ghost of the dead walked around that night.

It’s just a cool concept that many still believe that the ghost of the dead walk around causing mischief. I would not put it past one to take the one sock from my pair. It seems my socks always go missing. Or I may lay down an item and it ends up some where else. So could it be me who is not mindful of what I do or is there a spirit out there running a muck causing mischief. Just think Samhan, was incorporated into the Roman Church as All Saints Day which also takes the time to remember the dead with the celebration of All hallows Eve that end up being Halloween.  Were we hide behind mask are in attempt to mask ourselves from those mischievous ghost and sprits of the dead. Remember lots of holidays that are celebrated have roots in early Pagan celebrations.

With that being said I am going to attempt to do 31 days of Halloween stretching my creative pencils and see what maybe! Perhaps a few mischievous little ghosts may help. Hopefully you all will enjoy and leave a comment or too to feed my writing frenzy!
