Samhain Celebrated At Campus Festival
Author: Lisa Haberzettl Source: Maine Campus (ME)
Title: SAMHAIN CELEBRATED AT CAMPUS FESTIVAL
On Friday Oct. 26, Pagan Campus Organization hosted a Samhain celebration with a divination fair on the mall. While the Samhain holiday falls on Oct. 31, PaCO decided to host festivities on the weekend to make it easier for fellow students to attend.
The Samhain holiday - pronounced "saw-hen" - celebrates the end of the harvest season and marks a time in the year where the veil between the living and dead is thinnest. This makes communicating with the dead and divination easier.
The festival offered a number of divination methods including apple peel reading, palmistry, rune reading and tarot card reading. Attendees could also paint or carve pumpkins, drink hot apple cider served from a cauldron heated over a fire and take a button or two. While those functions were free, there was also a bake sale set up which accepted payment for cupcakes and cookies on donation.

Wow, I wish we could pull off an event like this on my campus! Unfortunately, it seems that there aren't very many pagans here and not very many open-minded individuals. It makes me happy however that this sounded to be pulled off very well. It really shows that colleges are becoming more open to less mainstream religions.
