SOME KNOWLEDGE =
The Celts were a nation of people united by a common culture. “The term Celtic refers to a culture, and not a specific country or nationality” The Celts were a feirce warrior people whose domination once stretched from Ireland to Greece at their height around the third century BC (Severy 588).
The ancient Celtic society was highly structured in that everyone knew their place. To break the strain, Samhain was celebrated by the Celts from October 31 to November 2 as days of no time when chaos ruled. “People did crazy things, men dressed as women, and women as men. Farmers’ gates were unhinged and left in ditches, peoples’ horses were moved to different fields, and children would knock on neighbors’ doors for food and treats in a way that we still find today . . . in the custom of trick-or-treating on Halloween” (O.B.O.D.).
The Druids however celebrated differently. “Behind this apparent lunacy, lay a deeper meaning. The Druids knew that these three days” were the time when “the veil between this world and the World of the Ancestors was drawn aside … and journeys could be made to the ‘other side’. The Druid rites, therefore, were concerned with making contact with the spirits of the departed, who were seen as sources of guidance and inspiration.” The Ovates officiated at these rites, because they were skilled in divination and spiritual travel.
