Category: Articles: Halloween-A Druids Perspective: 'Halloween, a night most people dedicate to candy, tricks, and parties.A night filled with frightening images such as Ghost, Goblins, and hundreds of little George W. Bushes.But where did it all come from, and what does it all mean to me as a modern Druid?First of all what most people think of as Halloween has little to do with the actual holy day called Samhain (pronounced "sav-uin," which loosely translated means "end of summer?). Samhain has been celebrated in one form or another for well over 2000 years, and has many traditional aspects.One of these aspects is as the Celtic New Year.As such it is one of the fire festivals, and one of the times of year that it is believed that the ?veils? between the worlds are the thinnest and the easiest to pass.
