How do pagans celebrate Halloween?
Pagans don’t celebrate Hallowe’en because Hallowe’en is originally Christian – The Eve (e’en) of All Saints (Hallow). Modern pagans celebrate an invented festival on or about the same night which they call Samhain. Samhain is the old Irish word for November and they chose that name because old Irish myths talk about warriors having a Samhain feast. Most of them are not aware of what that mythical feast was really about: “It was their custom to hold that festival in order to give account of these combats, and the manner in which they gave that account was this: Each man used to cut off the tip of the tongue of a foe whom he had killed, and he bore it with him in a pouch. Moreover, in order to make more great the numbers of their contests, some used to bring with them the tips of the tongues of beasts, and each man publicly declared the fights he had fought, one man of them after the other.” http://ww
