Samhain
is the celtic name and its the final harvest
also called the blood harvest
b/c all the animals.. cows and pigs
were slaughtered at that time aswell
to keep the meat for winter
(it costs more in food to feed livestock over the winter
than meat you will get off them.. so only bred stock was kept)
its the celtic new year.. the turnin of the wheel
life begins in darkness... in the womb or over the winter
life and death and all that dramatic celtic stuff!
so Samhain is the fest of the Dead aswell
you celebrate lost loved ones
and prepare that many may not make it thru the winter...
