Halloween is Over

Scéla, the Digital Medievalist, has a nice overview of Halloween and its origins in the festival of Samain. It's taken from her dissertation, though it apparently won't appear in the final draft. Lots of accurate and interesting information. It would have been nice to have material on parallel traditions in the other Celtic countries, but perhaps that was beyond the scope of her dissertation.
