Halloween, a night filled with mystery and intrigue, has its roots in ancient festivals. The Celts, who lived in what is now the United Kingdom, Ireland, and France, celebrated Samhain, a festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
As the veil between worlds grew thin, spirits of the dead were believed to return to the world of the living. The Celts would leave food and drink offerings for these spirits, hoping to appease them and avoid their wrath.
As the Roman Empire expanded its reach, their festivals and traditions merged with those of the Celts. The Catholic Church, in an effort to eliminate pagan practices, declared November 1st as All Saints' Day, followed by All Souls' Day on November 2nd.
Despite these efforts, the people continued to celebrate Samhain, incorporating elements of Christianity into their rituals. This blending of traditions resulted in the modern-day celebration we know today.
As we celebrate this sacred night, let us not forget the origins and intentions behind our actions. Let us honor the spirits of those who have passed on, and acknowledge the mysteries that lie beyond our mortal realm.
At Nibiru, we invite you to join us in embracing the magic and mystery of Halloween. Come and experience the thrill of the unknown, and let your imagination run wild with the possibilities.
