» Samhain & european traditions
Samhain is the marking of the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
Since these portals are not only a specific day but a time portal of some days, we will honour this time on the 25.10 with the opening of the portal.
It is a time of transition, in which the veil between the living and the dead was very permeable, why it is aswell known as the festivity for the ancestors.
Traditionally Samhain was celebrated with fire and costumes to ward off spirits and darkness and to celebrate the 'New Year'

Celtic New Year: Samhain was celebrated as a NewYears Festivity to mark the light part of the year and the beginning of the dark and cold part of the year.
Being a time of transition and where the veil is thinning, it was always considered as a very magical time.

» German:
Es ist eine Zeit des Übergangs, in der die Grenze zwischen der Welt der Lebenden und der Toten als besonders durchlässig galt, weshalb es auch als Fest der Ahnen verehrt wird. Traditionell wurde Samhain mit Feuer und Kostümen gefeiert, um Geister abzuwehren und die Dunkelheit sowie das neue Jahr zu begrüßen

Keltisches Neujahr: Samhain wurde als Neujahrsfest gefeiert, das das Ende des hellen Teils des Jahres und den Beginn der dunklen, kalten Jahreszeit markierte.
In dieser Zeit des Ueberganges wo der Schleier duenn ist, wurde es immer als eine sehr magische Zeit gesehen.
