'An excellent and comprehensive exploration of this fascinating
subject.' - Philip Carr-Gomm, author Druid Mysteries 'Samhain was
the entry point into winter, a time of hardship, cold and hunger
... It was also a time of introspection, of communing with the dead
and the otherworld - themes that have somehow survived, albeit
distorted, into the modern era.' The modern celebration of
Halloween is derived from the ancient festival of the dead known in
Ireland as Samhain. It is from Ireland that we have inherited most
of our Halloween traditions, mainly through the diaspora. Delving
into the ancient past, this book uncovers the history of this
festival in Britain, Ireland and Brittany, including the forgotten
goddess Tlachtga and the sacred temple of the Druids in Co. Meath,
where the first Halloween fires were lit.
