World History Encyclopedia's video: Is Samhain like Halloween history halloween halloween2023 celtic

No matter how different present-day Halloween may seem from the pagan fire festival of Samhain, the feeling of transformation and the desire to invoke the supernatural through costumes or otherwise seems to return each year with the waning light and the cooling of the air. These sentiments transcend time, connecting modern celebrations with Samhain, that liminal time of transformation that was sacred to the pagans of the Celtic world thousands of years ago, and perhaps also to those of an even more ancient world before that. — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store​/​ — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — History of Halloween https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1456/history-of-halloween/ Samhain https://www.worldhistory.org/Samhain/ — WATCH NEXT — The History of Samhain and Halloween! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkSZ6P4jEDA The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
