After a full day and evening of Halloween activities with my three daughters, who are now all sleeping and snoring in their beds, I began a deep dive on Google to read the true meaning behind this spooky holiday and where it all began.

Celtic history and some of their traditions are what inspired me to write.

I hope you all had a lovely Hallows Eve

Near our late year approach, A Celtic feast and festivities, around a wood blaze Hoge. On the first of the eleventh month, wine and beer by the barrel is sunk, and merrily a few of many will start their new year drunk. Cloaked attire to scare off and warn, unwanted spirits of all shapes or form. Children's songs they sing in rhyme, All Hallows Eve! do they shriek out and cry. Markings drawn door to door, Candlesticks and spooky shrines. what began as once a feared holiday now for so many a celebratory time.
