Halloween - All Saints' Day Eve (Samine)
Description:
The holiday is marked by processions around the city in carnival costumes.
Millions of people in different parts of the world annually celebrate Halloween – “All Saints’ Eve”.
Children dress up in unusually scary costumes and put on ugly masks. With bags in their hands, they go from house to house, scaring both children and adults with their appearance. As usual, they should be given a hotel, otherwise they can harm the house or the owner. Young children usually do not carry out their threats, and after receiving a guest, they leave.
According to some reports, the Druids believed that on this evening Samhain (the god of the dead) summoned evil spirits, which during the past year dwelt in the bodies of animals. Other pagan peoples believed that on that evening all the spirits of the dead had visited their homes during the past year, and that tables were set for them and doors were left open for fear that if the spirits did not find food and shelter, they would take cruel revenge on those who did not pay attention to them. Making all sorts of sacrifices was also a common occurrence that evening.
For the northern peoples, the holiday began on the eve of November 1. It was believed that the souls of good people after death are carried away by good spirits to paradise, and the souls of evil people remain to wander in the underworld, disturbing the living and therefore need to be appeased at least once a year.
Winter, which began with Halloween (November 1), opened the year.
This is a time of mercy, selfless help to their family, the old, the sick and the dying, people begin to appreciate the experience even in a culture that honors youth, preserve ancient shrines and cultural heritage of the world, including the wisdom of the Aboriginal people. On this day, clairvoyance abilities may awaken.
The colors of this day are fiery red, brown, black - the colors of fire, the colors of torches. On Halloween night, the fire on the altar is not just a tribute to the gods - it guards your hearth, protects it with its clear, even light. May there be many candles. You can make traditional lamps from pumpkins and place candles lit from the altar in them. You can create additional lamps from the vessels of orange glass and place the heating candles inside. Such lamps are placed on the window sills and behind the threshold. They not only drive away uninvited guests from the spirit world, but also protect your home from the designs of your enemies, from envy and malice that can be directed at you.
