For all who don't know what Samhain or Samaín means, here is the explanation:

Halloween have its origins in a celtic celebration called "Samhain". Here in Galicia (Northwest of Spain and one of the Seven Celtic Nations) the name of this celebration is "Samaín".

Samhain or Samaín marked the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". Many scholars believe that it was the beginning of the Celtic year. It has some elements of a festival of the dead. The Celts believed that the border between this world and the otherworld became thin on Samhain.


MORE ABOUT MY HOMELAND AND ITS CELTIC TRADITION:

Galicia or Galiza is the less known of the Seven Celtic Nations. Its destiny through the last centuries under Spain's dominion has condemned it to the oblivion of the world, but its actual Celtic spirit has survived and it's yet alive.

The name Galicia comes from the Latin name Gallaecia, associated with the name of the ancient Celtic tribe that resided above the Douro river, the Gallaeci or Callaeci in Latin, and Kallaikoi in Greek (these tribes were mentioned by Herodotus).

Galicia is fresh and verdant, it has gushing rivers and a coastline more reminiscent of Scotland than Spain. The weather is cool often misty and the land is impregnated with an age-old magical atmosphere.


HAVE A HAPPY HALLOWEEN, SAMHAIN, SAMAÍN...!!!!
