  • ■man features Halloween's History Filled with Rituals, Sacrifice, and Feasts by Seth Sams News Editor A procession of men, draped in white robes and carrying strange, glowing blue globes, walks onto a field followed by a whole town of people. A figure at the center of the group speaks some words to the crowd, utters something to the sky, and lights a towering bonfire, set at the center of a circle of small stones. One by one, each person throws an offering to the bonfire. Spices, herbs, flowers, and even food are thrown into the fire. And after every white clad priest and every peasant has cast his or her offering, the last person, a black clad young man, speaks to the stars and throws a piece of mandrake root onto the fires. As it begins to smoke, the young man runs into the forest like a wild animal, with nothing more than the moon to light his way. Samhain has begun. Scenes like these were not too uncommon among the rolling hills of Wales, the mountains of Scotland, or the green fields of Ireland in years past. In fact, the early Celts' Samhain, or Feast of the Dead, is not unlike the Spanish Day of the Dead, or our modern day Halloween. October 31 is the Celtic New Year, and to their priests, it was the most important festival of the year. Scary costumes were worn by festival goers, fire was drawn by priests, and tricks were drawn by tricksters. Jars of homemade absinthe, an alcoholic drink whose primary ingredient was wormwood, were brought out for the evening's activities. The night would never end. From dusk until dawn, there were festivals and feasts, and the otherworldly creatures would run free in a night ruled by chaos. These otherworldly beings today are such creatures as vampires, werewolves, and your other run-of-the-mill monsters (including the occasional sighting of a pesky Power Ranger costume). However, the otherworldly creatures of the Celtic mythology would have included Heme, the lord of emerald forests, faeries, and any others that might inhabit the Great Beyond: a world of which the Celts were very aware of, and that became very real to them on this night. The next day and night, doors were left unlocked and houses were cleaned in preparation for the visits of dead ancestors. The last of the crops were harvested, for any left after Samhain were considered to belong to the spirits; old debts were settled, and all the unfinished business of summer was completed. Feasts were prepared and then feasted upon, and food was left out for the dead. Even if the food was not touched, it was believed that the essence of the food went to the spirits, and to the betterment of their existence. The darker half of the year had now officially begun to the Celts, and the rest of the world. The next festival would be Midwinter Solstice, the Re-birth of the Sun, and it was greatly anticipated. Yet, while they waited, the Celts would start their year over with a clean slate. Commerce, religious rituals, and courts would continue on in the meantime. The Celts' Samhain is but one origin of today's Halloween, what was once All- Hallow's Eve. The fact is that many ancient religions had some sort of Halloween, when the living, the dead, and the un- dead would often cross each other's paths; it was often a time to commemorate those who had died during the past year, almost a Decoration Day of sorts. No matter what it is or has been, Halloween continues to be one of the most mischievous holidays of the year. One just has to be careful, and keep an eye out for the living dead, and those that are simply living. £ill Shafer Tom <Ksller <R§pairs 317c <West SNai» gt. Sylva, 9fc. 28779 Rockin' for Christ by Jeff Leatherwood Staff Writer CommonBond, an acoustic pop duo, will be coming Thursday, October 29, for the All Night Coffee House, with sing'er-songwriter April Lewandowski as guest act. The show begins at 8 p.m. and costs only $2.00 for students, $3.00 for all others. CommonBond will appeal to country, folk and alternative fans with their zealous strumming and harmony-rich vocals. Among the recent trends are bands who unite pop styles with Christian messages. Although religious bands such as Petra and Stryper have achieved national fame during the 1980s, and secular outfits such as King's X and Galactic Cowboys have been recently noted for their combination of heavy rock and hard faith, these bands are often the exception. Most Christian bands tend to remain obscure, hard-working entities with a fixed audience, usually at the college level. If Christian music enraptures you, then these two bands may provide you with the choir invisible. The A.K. Hinds University Center will be visited by Seven Day Jesus, with opening act Bleach on Monday, November 2, in the Grand Room at 7:30 p.m. Seven Day Jesus boasts a following among Christian rock fans and are supporting the Static Butterfly Tour. Bleach has recently released their first album which has won awards in the Alternative category. Both acts cost $3.00 for students and $5.00 for all others. Tickets are available in the UC or by phone at 227-7206. to»apart°l Bancs **«££ ship, wova' «»« ♦ r r|T m ******** im ***» 'o (few 2/ f^^a2L^%«W ■mm 1NTEG0N We are an equal opportunity employer who focuses on oTws*/.
