Samhain: Celebrating Life, Remembering The Dead

Author: Kathy Nance Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch (MO)

Title: SAMHAIN: CELEBRATING LIFE, REMEMBERING THE DEAD
Samhain is one of the most widely known of the Pagan holidays in (perhaps tied with Yule). It’s certainly the least understood.
I suppose that’s fitting. It is the holiday Pagans themselves celebrate with one foot in the mundane world of candy, costumes and parties, the other at the edge of the Farthest Shore.
The biggest community-wide notice of the holiday is the annual Witches’ Ball. It’s a fund-raiser for June’s Pagan Picnic, and is held at a popular local banquet hall. It’s a great Halloween party for grown-ups. And this year, they’ve added a community ancestor altar. I’ll be there.
