It is the Eve of All Hallows

Nemed Cuculatii Posted on 31 October 2009 by Ashleigh McSidhe31 October 2009

called by some Samhain, Hallowe’en and other names as well; I often refer to it as “Amateur Night”. The “end of the Celtic year” as the media informs us, along with much misinformation about its history, origins and such. I … Continue reading →
