Happy Halloween to you! Among insular Celts, the year was
seen in two halves. There was the light half and the dark half. The day began
with sunset and, in the same way, the year began with the arrival of the
darkness. So, Today is the start of the year with the start of the dark half.
The nights are longer than the days. Happy New Year to you! In pagan belief, on
this night the veil between this world and the next in weaker, and spirits can
cross the boundary. This is the reason for some people to dress up as ghosts.
Children dress up as all sorts of things (especially villains), and they like pumpkin and turnip
lanterns, too.
