Exploring the ancient festival of Samhain, this work delves into the belief that the dead can walk among the living on certain nights, particularly October 31. Author Jean Markale reveals how modern Halloween customs stem from rituals that honor the connection between the seen and unseen worlds. He highlights the significance of this transition from light to dark, emphasizing the unique experiences available during this sacred time. With a rich background in Celtic studies, Markale offers profound insights into our ancestral celebrations and their lasting impact on contemporary traditions.
