Tomorrow is Samhain, or how to call it Halloween here. I love Samhain. Over many years, what am alone or with my friends. This year we will celebrate as it should .. in our own way. Leaving aside the issue of the party, I am pleased to see my friends because some live far away and only see them on weekends. It is the most important pagan festival of the year, as it marks the beginning of the Celtic New Year, and also the start of the first of two halves in which the peoples Celts divided the year: the winter. On this night, lighting bonfires are usually with a dual purpose: to symbolize the end of summer and help the souls of the dead to find their way into the light and rest. This will also tend to light candles on the windowsill of the windows and the front doors of the houses, while also leaving some foods such as bread and fruit of the season (mainly apples and grenades) for the souls are fed during his trip. The apples were also buried with the purpose of feeding the Earth, which is preparing for its lethargy. It was believed that Samhain, as with other nights as Beltane and Lammas, the veil that divides the worlds becomes thinner. But compared to other nights, during Samhain that the veil is particularly thin, which makes it an excellent time to communicate with deceased ancestors Samhain is also a time to honor the Dark Goddess in its various incarnations. For the Celtic peoples it took the form of the MORRIGAN, goddess of the dead and the battles, but has been present ever since in all cultures under many names: Hecate, Kali, Crone, Nemesis ...And there are some songs to create "ambient" in halloween.^^
