The Celtic Origins of Halloween with John Carosella

Samhain (pronounced sah-wen) is the orignal source of Halloween as we know it today. Candy and costumes for kids is sharp contrast to the real roots of Halloween.

One of the most important festivals of the ancient Celtic calendar, Samhain is full of mystery and chaos, honors Death and The Hunt, and recognizes the role of struggle in life. 

Come learn the roots of this cultural enigma, and find out what that spookiness is REALLY all about...but beware of the Fomorians!
