Farming, Saturday, October 23, 1999 fraa* Li—T_ uieE^TWr Summer’s End October 31 may seem late to New Englanders, but many ot today’s Halloween rituals are based on the old Celtic holiday ot Samhain, which means, literal ly, “summer’s end ” The Sun God received his thanks for the preceding summer, while the lord ot the dead was celebrated with a night for visiting ghosts. Lanterns and bonfires lit the way throughout the night and began the winter’s custom ot keeping a small fire lit through out the cold months to help the summer’s Sun find its Sway back m time for spring sowing Jack-o’-lanterns, with their fierce k faces, may have originally been a I device to hinder evil spirits from f lingering too long or too near. Count on dill to hinder witches from their will. ns- Besides pumpkins, try turnips, squashes, or gourds for making small lanterns, using small tea candles inside them.
