Halloween's Origins and Evolution

• Halloween - Samhain:
  The holiday's roots lie in Samhain, a Celtic festival celebrated around November 1 to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
• Spiritual Significance:
  The Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead thinned during this time, allowing spirits to roam the earth. People would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off spirits.
• Christian Influence:
  In the 8th century, the Catholic Church designated November 1 as All Saints' Day (or All Hallows) to honor saints. The night before, All Hallows' Eve, eventually became known as Halloween.
• Modern Celebration:
  Over centuries, Halloween evolved from its religious and spiritual beginnings into a secular festival filled with activities like trick-or-treating, costume parties, and jack-o'-lanterns.

Magickal beings gathering together adds power, friendship, and meaning to our Spiritual community, giving us the Tribe that all are searching for. We shall feast, drink and converse into the night to celebrate our journey back into the dark half of the year and Samhain, also known as the Day of the Dead, or Halloween is one of the most important holidays, as the veils between the worlds is at its thinnest making our intentions become more powerful than ever! We may even do some drumming...

Ley Lines: Our location is very near, or right on top of a Ley Line in the earth that connects us to all of the magickal sacred sites around the world, so it is the perfect place to manifest and do magick!! Our space is a portal, and we have had much paranormal activity here, which makes for interesting meetings, and for effective manifestation to take place!

Halloween is a religious festival originating from an ancient Celtic New Year spiritual tradition. In modern times, Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “sow-win”) is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in “the dark half of the year.” Celebrants believe that the barriers between the physical world and the spirit world break down during Samhain, allowing more interaction between humans and denizens of the Otherworld.

ABOUT US...
This community is for those who have many diverse individual belief systems, and do not wish to be linked to groups, covens, or organizations with specific agendas/religious beliefs, or memberships. 'To Each Her, Their, or His Own, is our Motto'.

We meet on, or near Pagan Holiday Celebrations to hang out with other like-minded individuals from similar walks of life! We normally gather for Potlucks to hang out socially, and sometimes we do super casual Shamanic burning bag rituals for renewal and manifestation - there is Strength in numbers when it comes to prayer magick and manifestation! The holidays and moon cycles also add power to our intentions! Kick back, put your feet up and eat, drink and be merry with like-minded others while creating the life that you deserve!

MORE ABOUT Samhain:

ANCIENT SAMHAIN/HALLOWEEN:
Ancient Celts marked Samhain as the most significant of the four quarterly fire festivals, taking place at the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. During this time of year, hearth fires in family homes were left to burn out while the harvest was gathered.

After the harvest work was complete, celebrants joined with Druid priests to light a community fire using a wheel that would cause friction and spark flames. The wheel was considered a representation of the sun and used along with prayers. Cattle were sacrificed, and participants took a flame from the communal bonfire back to their home to relight the hearth.
