(Samhain is the Wiccan Ros Hasshonah, apologies to Red for the butchered spelling.)

Now the peanut gallery has *two* things to look up!

I thought Samhain was the Celtic Halloween. Hmmm?

October 31st, Samhain, pronounced "Sow-in" is the "New Years" of varous pagan religions, Wicca included. It is the first day of the "Wheel of the Year." "Samhain" is a Celtic word, explaining why spelling and pronounciation are nowhere near each other. It's a day of celebration, honoring the "Beloved Dead" and things like that.

"Halloween" is actually a Christian invention, something modern day Christians tend to forget. Look it up, for heaven's sake, Dravyk. The history is fascinating.
