- In this video I talk about how Halloween came to be and visit Oweynagat cave! With influences from Irish Celtic tradition, to Roman and even by the church, this holiday has a lot of common threads throughout history.

Here in Wales Samhain is Noson Calan Gaeaf which basically means the eve of the first day of Winter. November 1st was considered New Years Day. So from Wales I would like to wish everyone Noson Calan Gaeaf Hapus/Happy Halloween!
November 1st wasn't considered the Celtic New Years Day.
It was in Wales and Ireland@@Wotsitorlabart

No it isn't.
This idea was put forward by philologist Sir John Rhys (1840 - 1915) based not on early records but on contemporary Welsh and Irish folklore which he felt was associated with new beginnings - so he was projecting modern customs back into the past to arrive at his Celtic New Year. He also observed customs at Halloween on the Isle of Man that were more normally found at New Year which he felt reinforced his theory. However these customs were also still practiced on the island at New Year, leading to the obvious conclusion that they had migrated to October 31st as a way of fundraising and merrymaking.
There are no early medieval records to confirm Rhys's theory one way or the other - but it is a theory based on flimsy evidence and not a proven fact.
Luna...this was so charming and so very well done!! Samhain/All Hallow's
Eve has always been so magickal for me, and remains so, even at age 71.
My Husband and I shall be lighting candles, doing Tarot, making Colcannon,
and raising a wee drammie to our ancestors. It is so important to keep
the Old Ways, the Old Religion alive. Thank you for this.

Never heard the story of Stingey Jack before. Love it
I'm Irish-American and live in The Panhandle of Florida. We celebrate Halloween with plenty of BBQ & Guinness. We also have Jameson cakes. Love your videos!
hi luna thank you for your video I did enjoy watching esp the Celtic and roman influences problem because im from Ireland and a pagan thank you
Love these history sort of video about how traditions came to be. I do find it a bit odd as I live in Australia so while everything online is about Halloween it's the wrong time of the year for that here. There's very few pagan calendars made for the southern hemisphere, we (most people and shops) still celebrate the same things at the same time, and I feel that's kinda wrong like they are not authentic in a way. I don't like how commercialised everything is now.
I often thought it must be odd celebrating the european agricultural/light festivals in the southern hemisphere. Even bringing in greenery and lights for Yule must seem odd when you are in the middle of Summer. Pagan traditions are about observing the natural world in your area so it must be really frustrating for you. Wishing you a Happy Beltane or in Welsh Calan Haf Hapus!
Fascinating look at history. I think the resurgence of these holidays is, especially in the U.S., due to commercialization. Perhaps, though, there can be found a positive result in that it has brought about new interest in learning about their history. ❤
New sub, I lost my enthusiasm for my pagan interest but you’ve sparked it up again… I have felt very lost, so hopefully you randomly popping up , is a welcome sign ❤
Welcome :)
We Pagan Brothers and Sisters are here for you. You are definitely not alone. Know that as you are celebrating Samhain or Halloween, we are also. Blessed Be!!
@@lawriefoster5587 thank you so very much x
@@Lunaleodrune thank you x
In breton language the months of November and December are still today refered as Du and Kerzu which means "black" and "very black".
When it comes to traditions i find similarities between the irish samhain and what my grandparents used to do here. They didn't call it samhain but in a way they celebrated it.
Thank you for another lovely, cozy video. I love seeing that cave and hearing about some Samhain history. I've been struggling to feel at one with the spooky season, this year. I think I will try carving a turnip!
All the things I never knew about halloween Is amazing. It is my favorite holiday and my birthday. This is a great video ❤
🌾🎃 Fascinating!
Lol Stingy Jack🕯👻
I've learned so much by watching your videos l didn't know any of this
Loved the Stingey Jack story. First time hearing it.
Cheers from Srilanka
Luna, it was lovely spending time with you in this informative video. You have such a charming accent too, (I'm in America). I just adore all things mystical, and you brought up so many interesting points. Thanks for the soul cakes! I've celebrated Samhain with walks in the fallen leaves by day, appreciating the changing of the season, burning candles at night, building fires in the woodstove and baking acorn squash stuffed with rice.
Thank you for this information, I found it fascinating.
The turnips I could find in the US were small, so I carved a rutabaga, (similar to a turnip). Took a long time to gut it, but it was very cute in the end.
Hey luna, try echinacea and vitamin C for your cold, plus honey for your throat when it's sore
Love this video. Thank you for this 🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing. I loved learning more about the history
Great video! Well researched! Would love a monthly podcast from you!
Thank you, Luna, for the history, for how to make soul cakes, and for your time and smiles. Good to know about turnips, btw. 🎃
Luna, When you made the "soul cakes" i noticed you marked the tops into quarters. Is + a celtic spiritual symbol ? I appreciate what you are doing to help educate us in the celtic religions. My heritage is german/Scottish/english. I love your beautiful long hair 🥰.
I hope you have a happy Halloween 🎃 and thanks for sharing
Beautiful video!
Good vid. Just subbed! Happy All Hallows Season! 🎃👻🦇
I would love to visit the home of my ancestors but I'm in America and can't afford it. You've taught me alot of why my ancestors came to America.
Thank you for sharing this information, very welcoming
Great video thanks x
Brilliant, I love learning from RUclips videos, I thought for ages that Halloween was 'halo' - 'ween' so raising saints - saints originally meaning 'those that are allowed in heaven' (You don't have to be ordained a saint by the pope or monarch - interestingly heaven was originally a norsk term). Thanks for the info, have a great 'dark period'.
What a great lesson! Please share where you got your shirt.
Thanks! An artist called Sineater :)
Happy Hallow tide.
How about carving the turnip with a spoon 👻 Lol, that's what we were given in school to create a Jack'O'lantern, needless to say never again.
I wish the recipe would have been given for the Saw Cakes
