Samhain (Samain) - The Celtic roots of Halloween
As millions of children and adults participate in the fun of Halloween on the night of October 31st, few will be aware of its ancient Celtic roots in the Samhain (Samain) festival. In Celtic Ireland about 2,000 years ago, Samhain was the division of the year between the lighter half (summer) and the darker half (winter). At Samhain the division between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.
The family's ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. People wore costumes and masks to disguise themselves as harmful spirits and thus avoid harm. Bonfires and food played a large part in the festivities. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into a communal fire, household fires were extinguished and started again from the bonfire. Food was prepared for the living and the dead, food for the ancestors who were in no position it eat it, was ritually shared with the less well off.
Christianity incorporated the honouring of the dead into the Christian calendar with All Saints (All Hallows) on November 1st, followed by All Souls on November 2nd. The wearing of costumes and masks to ward off harmful spirits survived as Halloween customs. The Irish emigrated to America in great numbers during the 19th century especially around the time of famine in Ireland during the 1840's. The Irish carried their Halloween traditions to America, where today it is one of the major holidays of the year. Through time other traditions have blended into Halloween, for example the American harvest time tradition of carving pumpkins.
Two hills in the Boyne Valley were associated with Samhain in Celtic Ireland, Tlachtga and Tara. Tlachtga was the location of the Great Fire Festival which begun on the eve of Samhain (Halloween). Tara was also associated with Samhain, however it was secondary to Tlachtga in this respect.
The entrance passage to the Mound of the Hostages on the Hill of Tara is aligned with the rising sun around Samhain. The Mound of the Hostages is 4,500 to 5000 years old, suggesting that Samhain was celebrated long before the first Celts arrived in Ireland about 2,500 years ago.

Reviews for "The Adorned Rune Scimitar: A Key Tool for Questing and Achievements"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the Adorned Rune Scimitar. The design looked cool in the pictures, but when I received it, the runes were barely visible. The sword itself felt cheap and the handle was uncomfortable to hold. I expected better quality for the price I paid. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this product.
2. Emily - 2/5 - The Adorned Rune Scimitar was a letdown for me. The blade was dull and not as sharp as I expected. The construction seemed flimsy, and after a few swings, I noticed the sword bending slightly. It's definitely not durable enough for any serious use. The design was also underwhelming, as the runes looked faded and poorly etched. I would suggest looking for a better alternative.
3. Mike - 1/5 - I was highly dissatisfied with the Adorned Rune Scimitar. Despite the description claiming it was made of high-quality materials, the sword I received felt like a cheap knockoff. The runes on the blade were barely visible and seemed more like a sticker rather than intricate engravings. The overall build was poorly crafted and didn't feel sturdy at all. I regret purchasing this sword and would not recommend it to anyone.
4. Sarah - 2/5 - The Adorned Rune Scimitar did not meet my expectations. The sword arrived with multiple scratches and scuffs, which made it seem used or poorly handled. The handle was uncomfortable to grip, making it difficult to maneuver effectively. The weight distribution felt off, and I struggled to find a comfortable balance. I was disappointed with the overall quality of this product and would advise others to explore different options.
