[OT] Happy Samhain!

[Benben]

it seems every year we keep getting more and more pagans. I remember back when i was the only gay witch spokesperson. Ask TeflonBilly bout it =)

I'm only on this board to make you feel more common.

Blessed Be and have a Joyous New Year.

Well, I'm not a witch or anything, just a devoted Celt. But happy Samhain to all. Is Samhain really a holiday though? I thought the Celts feared it.

Nah, you were just the only one who mentioned it every third post.

Happy Samhain all.

Wow. Has it really been a whole year since that lil fiasco?

I feel old.

 

[Tewligan]

Bah, I can't take a holiday with a silent "m" in it seriously. Whoever heard of a silent "m?" 'Tain't natural.

Samhain (pronounced Sow-win) is another name for Halloween.

Interesting article on this:

A funny irony -- I recently heard from a Christian who decided not to celebrate Halloween because of alleged pagan roots and as a result observes a season/harvest celebration instead, which is perhaps ideologically much closer to Sam Hain than Halloween is, which is really just a secular prefab nowadays with distant roots closer to Christianity than anything labelled as pagan.
