The Celts had a devote sense of time and based their calendar on the principals of dark and light seasons. This draws back to the first century BC Celtic Druids and Gauls who drew a linear timeline following the waxing and waning of the moon. The seasons were broken into the four cycles of two light and two dark beginning around October 31st with the Samhain or New Year which celebrates the dark time of spiritual realms. This was not a scary time but a welcome to family lost wherein it was believed the dead could return for a time to warm themselves on family hearths along side the living. Our modern Halloween stems from the rituals practiced during the Celtic New Year with legend that the traditional pumpkin lanterns we decorate our doorways with today were descended from the Celtic practice of placing the skulls of ancestors outside their doors at this time to welcome them back home for a visit.
