Celtic Mythology and our Holidays
-The Celts believes on the night between the passing of the old year, and the arrival of the new (November, 1st), that the veil between our world and the Otherworld (Spirit World) was thinnest, and that spirits and demons could pass through into our world. This tradition carries over to Halloween
