[Tomorrow will be my wife and I's anniversary of getting together (not marrying, that took place later!). It seems a good omen to find we had got together on the first day (or day before!) the Celtic new year.
To many modern Pagans (and presumably many ancient ones) this is a pretty special time of year. This clip, from the BBC, shows some Dorset Witches preparing for the day. They look very Wiccan to me (not that I know much about Wicca) and not that much like the less artificial artifact led celebrations I have seen by Pagans around here. I love diversity in spiritual practice - hence my appreciation of folklore!
I would like to know a bit more about christian All Hallows, and about any folklore for this time of year.. . I shall have to dig into the texts...]
