Samhain was unquestionably a major holiday in some parts of the Celtic world, but how much do we really know about the holiday? Is there anything we can say with absolute certainty about it? Part of Samhain's appeal may lie in just how mysterious the original holiday was.

On witches, Derrida, and the impossibility of ever being truly known. The inquisitors wanted something old from each witch they tortured—a Sabbath orgy or blood oath or cat demon or wolf-faced baby or some other verification of the stories they already believed.

Samhain is an ancient Celtic Feast and seasonal festival that dates back to pre-Christian times in Ireland, and other Celtic nations like Scotland and Wales.
E: Samhain was the most important Celtic festival, whose name means the end of summer → sam fuin. It was connected with the end of harvest and the year according to the Celtic calendar. ... P: Samhain było najważniejszymy celtyckim świętem, którego nazwa oznacza koniec lata → sam e fuin. Związane było z zakończeniem żniw i roku według kalendarza celtyckiego. E: According to beliefs on the night of Samhain's eve, ghosts of people who died during the past year and those who are not yet born descend to earth in search of the living, to live in them for the next year. P: Według wierzeń w noc wigilii Samhain duchy osób, które zmarły w trakcie minionego roku, oraz tych, które się jeszcze nie narodziły, zstępują na ziemię w poszukiwaniu żywych, by w nich zamieszkać przez okres następnego roku. E: The Celts were extinguishing all the fires and torches so that their homes would look cold and inhospitable, and set out ghost food outside the home. They dressed themselves in old, torn clothes and walked the villages, pretending to be dirty vagabonds, thanks to which no ghost wanted them. P: Celtowie gasili wszelkie ogniska, kaganki i pochodnie, żeby ich domy wyglądały na zimne i niegościnne, a poza domem wystawiali żywność dla duchów. Sami ubierali się w stare, podarte ubrania i chodzili po wsiach udając brudnych włóczęgów, dzięki czemu miał ich nie zechcieć żaden duch. E: The Iyrians were still in the 5th century, in the place of Mag Slecht they were to offer a deity named Cromm Cruaich → Head of the Tomb or Bloodied Head → all that is firstborn and every third son. The chief's house was to be set on fire, and he himself - symbolically killed. P: Iryjczycy jeszcze w V w. n.e. w miejscu Mag Slecht mieli ofiarowywać bóstwu o imieniu Cromm Cruaich → Głowie Grobowca bądź Skrwawionej Głowie→ to wszystko, co pierworodne, i co trzeciego syna. Dom wodza miał być podpalany, a on sam – symbolicznie zabijany.
