Misunderstood Moments: The Celtic Origins of Halloween
We have the world's greatest diaspora. |
From Lyra? - Pleiades? - Queen Scotia's Egypt |
It was a time when the Celts brought in their cattle and grain, which was rotted and slaughtered into alcohol ferment and bloody flesh for grand feasts.
Great bonfires were lit by Druids, which helped ward against evil spirits and ensure that good fortune would follow in the new year.
As part of these Celtic traditions, early ideas of masks, costumes, and trick-or-treating emerged.
The original Celtic festival of Samhain evolved (or devolved) over the years into the modern Halloween of today beginning with Celtic mythology. #History
