Wiccan Group Celebrates Holiday, Remembers The Dead
Author: Courtney Hagen Source: The Kansan
Title: WICCAN GROUP CELEBRATES HOLIDAY, REMEMBERS THE DEAD
Ghosts and the dead will be a fixture for one KU student group this week, but for celebration rather than for spooky stories.
The Wiccan Pagan Alliance will celebrate the Wiccan holiday of Samhain this Saturday.
The holiday is celebrated annually on or about Halloween in remembrance of those who have died.
Rebecca Kershner, WPA member and Overland Park junior, said Samhain was believed to be the day when the dead were able to pass into the living world to communicate.
“Samhain is a celebration of the turning of the year, so technically this is our ‘New Year,’” Kershner said.
It is the time when the distance between the living world and the dead is at its thinnest, she said, which allowed the dead to join the living for celebrations.
