It marked the end from the old European holiday, the origins of per”, by the Christian mythology standards it of the old year and the beginning of the new. Halloween are very different from what we merely meant “country people” in the language Samhain was, and still is, considered to be celebrate today. of the times. It was used as a sort of deroga- a very mystical and magical time that was First, to give an understanding to the reader ‘between’ the seasons and the years. Samhain lasted for three days in the old times and these three days were considered the time of “no time”. It was during the days of ‘no time’ that people were allowed to do things that normally was frowned upon by the highly structured society of the Celts. This was where the tradi- tion of ‘trick or treat’ came from. The children would go from dwelling to dwelling knocking on the doors asking for food or treats of some kind, and if the those who dwelt within did not oblige, they just might fi nd themselves at the receiving end of a possibly rather nasty trick. Adults would indulge in shenanigans like tak- ing someone’s livestock and moving them to a different fi eld without telling the owner of the livestock, or tearing down the gates to the cor- ral that held a particular farmer’s horses, cows, or pigs and allowing the animals to get away. There would be bon-fi res and dancing and, of course, plenty of mead.

Where to be for Halloween….. With Halloween falling on a weekend in 2010 there will likely be a great deal of ghoul- ish merriment. House parties are fun but then you have to see the same costumes all evening so make the rounds and see what other hilari- ous and frightening creations are out there. Now through Oct. 31 is the last chance for the “Lake Erie Monster Crawl” at Geneva on the Lake. Start early, or take several nights, be- cause there are 13 venues to visit to complete the ticket and receive the shirt.
