Halloween/ Samhuinn is coming!!!


Uau... many are the celebrations for this time of the year! A beautiful and wonderful time of  the year! People go out to the streets to celebrate! Celebrate what?


From October 31st until November 2nd, the doors to the otherworld are open! Which means that whatever belief you may have, it is time to celebrate life and death. We all join in prayers for the ones that are not in this physical world anymore. With this time there is a hope of been together again with our loved in the form of celebrations and prayers.



October 31th is the All-Hallows Day
November 1st is the All-Saints Day
November 2nd is the All Souls Day


These three days are an important mark in our history traditions as human beings. It is also said that it is the end of a year to a new year, a time of transition, because it marks the end of summer and the beginning of winter, the end of harvests. The days will begin to be shorter, as we stay more in the warm of our houses than outside.

Let us celebrate life and death. Let us say our last year goodbye to summer and welcome winter.


What can we do then? Besides the streets costumes and celebrations?
- Have a family gathering and realize and appreciate what your family is to you
- Throw away what you think you will not use anymore
- Dance like if no one was looking
- Cook something different and new to you
- Be creative and try to feel what would you like to do differently from what you already do. Just do it!
 


HAPPY HALLOWEEN/ SAMHUINN!!!
