Good overview, as usual. I remember as a kid seeing it spelled as 'Hallowe'en', i suppose as a contraction for 'Hallowed Evening', and on the decorations of my elderly (it seemed to me then) grammar school teachers. Just remembering...
The thing I'm most grateful to the Americans for, regarding Halloween, is pumpkins because trying to carve Neeps is a journey into madness itself.In Scotland it's not called trick or treating It's still referred to as guising over here and I hope a lot of kids still preform a song or whatever for their treats. I agree firmly that a good Halloween should revolve around nature and the celebration of death and life, for a while in the Early Modern era In Scotland it was used as this of course but there was a lot of focus on divination and future wish making etc, which makes sense because you want a good harvest and if you have to be married you want a good spouse and good health and all of this. We've lost a lot of that now though. I like that with the advent of the Internet we can learn about others death celebrations and I like to give a nod to them, it's also fun to learn about death itself and the industry of it and the invention of the modern day funeral trade, I highly recommend Ask a Mortician and the Order of the Good Death if anyone is interested in that.
Pumpkins were developed by Indigenous people in what are now the North and South American continents. They cultivated pumpkins, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, sunflowers, cacao (chocolate) and many other foods that have traveled around the world due to colonization. European-Americans only began using them during the early colonial days but they did not develop them.
@@gnostic268 Oh sure, I was talking about the modern era really but you are quite right that so much of the foods we enjoy around the world are brought to us by the colonisation and enslavement of the indigenous populations, much of which continues today, in more sneaky insidious ways, hidden by the white and green washing of global companies.
i’ve been watching your videos since i was 16 years old and i’m now almost 23! in the next two months i will get my degree in medieval history and i have to thank you for the inspiration you gave me through these years, it’s always a pleasure to learn from someone so learned (i hope the word is correct)! 🧝🏻♀️
That's so cute, your words have moved me! Thank you so much for listening and watching all these years. Many blessings to you and best of luck in your career! Thank you!
I loved this video and im grateful to hear you cover the topic! Being raised as a modern pagan in the 80s here in the mid west USA halloween was a very important holiday. Our small town was very conservative and very Christian, and my mother, and I set up a haunted house in our garage every year! We got creative with it and built most of the decorations ourselves. Capitalism be damned! Happy halloween 🎃
Seasons greetings, may you enjoy the season and may this be a fruitful time. Happy Halloween, may your Gods go with you, much love and many Blessings at this time, ❤,🎃👻,😊,🌙.
I live in Texas, and Dios de las Muertos (sp.?) is very big here. It’s a beautiful tradition. I love the way you weave the interplay of different cultural influences throughout time and always going back to the animistic origins of the folk beliefs that evolved. As I learn more about animism and work on shifting my worldview to an animist frame of mind, my magical practice changes. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. Have a wonderful spooky season, however you celebrate.
Our country here is HUGE but despite always horrible media image, many of us are returning to more rural, pagan and even animist(ish) roots. You’ve been a great support in my own learning. Even in learning about my own ancient Iberian roots. Never stop!
Love the sweatshirt! I know the origins but this was still a great video and I learned a few new things. My birthday is October 13th . I’m definitely a fall baby.
I still remember your birthday, and last year I gave you a belated happy birthday. Hopefully I won't forget to give it to you on the actual day (but my apologies beforehand if I do, as lately I've been out working on a lot of things at the same time). Best wishes to you!
I had not hear about the thanking the farmers part that's actually a very important part of community we don't hear much about thanks for the video, good month
Yes you are correct but life happens right? Yes. Obviously to some of us, we know part of our individual journeys is to work on ourselves so, I’m sure you will do well as your spirituality will take you far. Having people close that are actually vested in you is gift. I’m still trying to find this kind of person. ❤
Another great video thank you Arith. In regards to the month and season, it's the date we're all used to manufactured to suit commercial reasons. I would expect a farmers almanac or planting by the moon might die us more? Also, I feel that preservation, of foods etc, during this month after harvest might give a deeper or wider meaning to idea of death and not death etc. I'd love to hear your views. Best wishes Dawn
You're very correct in saying that Halloween is a very 'modern' concept. Halloween is _not_ a holiday that has close ties to the ancient past, nor does it have some ‘pagan’ antecedent, nor is it a continuation of several ancient pre-Christian customs. To say Halloween’s connections to ancient Samhain, or anything “ancient” for that matter, are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. Virtually all of the customs associated with the modern secular celebration of Halloween developed only in the past 500 years and have no connections to ancient pagan religious practices. In short, Halloween just does not have the “pagan precedent” so many people seem to want it to. Regarding the establishment of 1. Nov. for All Saints Day - To state it briefly, the date of 1. November for All Saint's Day was practiced in continental Europe _long_ before the date was formerly fixed by the Church to November 1st, and _long_ before said change got to what is now the UK & Ireland; which was _centuries_ after the time of Druids and Samhain proper. In addition, most people are not aware that Samhain itself is a _movable_ feast day; the exact date varies from year to year depending on when the autumnal equinox and winter solstice fall. In 2020, Samhain proper fell on 6/7 Nov. Samhain seems to have been associated with the ‘Seven Sisters’, the Pleiades - it is said to have occurred at the culmination of the Pleiades (when they reach the highest point in the sky). In modern times that equates to about 21.November, but in more ancient times, due to changes in the calendar, to 1.November (currently 6/7 November). In addition, most people are not aware that Samhain itself is a _movable_ feast day; the exact date varies from year to year depending on when the autumnal equinox and winter solstice fall.

In modern times that equates to about 21.November, but in more ancient times, due to changes in the calendar, to 1.November (currently 6/7 November). To assert that the establishment of All Saint’s Day (and All Souls Day on 2.NOV) was the early church’s attempt to “Christianize Samhain” just does not stand to reason. Think about this logically for a moment, why would the church change a major feast day affecting _all_ of Western Christendom just to accommodate a small group of Christians who lived on, what would be considered at that time, some remote group of islands in the middle of nowhere, centuries after Druids and the observance of Samhain? One scholar has even suggested that November 1st may have been chosen simply so that the many pilgrims who traveled to Rome to commemorate the saints “could be fed more easily after the harvest than in the spring (when it was originally celebrated).” That certainly does not seem out of the realm of possibility. Though this may not have been the predominant reason, I’d be willing to bet it was taken into consideration and was a contributing factor in the change. All three holidays, Halloween, All Saint’s Day, and Samhain share a common date and perhaps a “feeling”, but that’s really about it. Indeed, so much of Halloween “feels” Pagan that attempts to connect those things to ancient Samhain simply “feels right”.
You're quite the storyteller, Arith! I really enjoyed this video. I'm always on the lookout for good books on this subject (I can't help it, I'm a bit of a nerd/book-lover). Do you have any particular references? (Greetings from a follower in Puerto Rico!)
Thank you my friend! Much of the content of this video was already spoken on several other videos, many of which suggested along this video, which have bibliography at the end of them, especially the one about Diana and the one of the figure of the Devil as well. Be well, and stay safe! Many blessings to you!
Great video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her
i have been in such a situation. i love my woman and unfortunately we separated about two years ago, but i could not let her go, so i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back, now we are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Nature expresses itself through and pulsates between polarities like hot/cold, light/dark, male/female, birth/death, etc. Post-Zoroastrian monotheisms moralize the polarities and seek eternal life through the repression of the dark side, but both of the light/dark polarities have positive and negative aspects and need to be balanced and honored. Death is a pathway to gnosis and rebirth
The Hill of Tlachtga in Ireland , was from 3000 years ago the sacred center for the fire festival call SAMHAIN....an Irish word , meaning harvest . An SAMHAIN , was both a time of feasting , but also of remembering the dead and protecting life on the night of the gathering from walking the earth and doing damage on this side of reality . When many Irish emigrated from Ireland in the 18th and 19th centuries to North America they took the tradition of an SAMHAIN /Halloween,with them , and from there the Trick or Treat version of this profoundly spiritual time ,emerged . For the celts , Halloween..was the end of the year , and the beginning of the new , so , as important as present day Christmas/ New year but with the difference that people were far more spiritually connected to the earth than today .On that hill, the hill of Tlachtga, protected by the Druids , the first huge fire was lite , and from the piercing of the darkness by that light on that sacred hill , others would lite their own great fires , so that the light spread across the land protecting all from the darkness . The fire protected those gathered around it from bad spirits afraid of the light . Happy Halloween everyone . Peace in Europe .
The dark age of 536 and plague was far worse than the mid 1300s. That's when much of the romantic iconography actually came up. The sun of the summer of that year didn't shine in 90% of Europe as it was a far encroachment of glacial growth and cloud coverage that hadn't been seen in 4000 years.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Wow! What an imagination with Santa and the meth-lab and Grandma the porn store. Trying to put on my mascara to get ready for the day and definitely could not because I was laughing way too hard and barely after 6am! Thank you for that, but Nana’s need snogging too. 😳☺️😁🎃
So it didnt start during the ice age 10,000 years ago. Mammoths cave bears the giant lord of the rings elf elks could have something to do with it. Peprahs their migration into human communties during this season made ppl make stories
Speaking about witches... what do you think about the new definition of this word, proposed by Julia Carreras (researcher from Spain)? Are you agree with her or not?
@@ArithHärger First, I would like to say that I do not agree with her 100%, and since I am not an expert on the subject, I wanted to know the opinion of a professional, in this case, you dear Arith. Secondly, what I know about her is that she is a philologist, and that she has carried out research on the origin of the word "witch" in the Pyrenees. Her thesis proposes that, according to a witch law written around 1500 A.D., the word would refer to spirits or demons, and not human beings. That deep down, witches would be beings of "otherness" and that those accused of being witches are actually "people who go with witches", that is, apprentices of witchcraft and not witches themselves. There are several presentations by Julia Carreras on TH-cam, and a website called "Occvulta". I would like to know your opinions and if her research is valid from an archaeological or sociological point of view. Thank you very much Arith for all the effort and dedication you put into your videos.

Amei seu vídeo amor, mas o problema não é o capitalismo kkkkk e sim as pessoas que não entenderam ele rsrs. Na verdade todos os sistemas podiam ser maravilhosos, o problema é o ser humano com toda a sua sede de poder. E também um fato muito importante, pk estamos em Ano de Saturno e não rola ilusão em Saturno kkk o problema de hoje em dia não é de quem está no poder e sim os submissos que defendem quem está no poder. Na verdade ainda vivemos em uma monarquia disfarçada kkkk E essa roda precisa ser quebrada 🤘🤘🤘💜
In irish November mi na samhain,the month of samhain,as an Irish man I'm very impressed you looked up how to pronounce, the names,it makes your presentation worthwhile and warrants some more listening to more of your channel
Thank you very much for watcing and listening and for that piece of information. Indeed I try to pronounce things as best as I can and find the best sources available. When it comes to language, it's always good to speak with those who know it, but sometimes it can be hard. Be well, friend. Hope you enjoy my other works. Stay safe out there!

That deep down, witches would be beings of "otherness" and that those accused of being witches are actually "people who go with witches", that is, apprentices of witchcraft and not witches themselves. There are several presentations by Julia Carreras on TH-cam, and a website called "Occvulta". I would like to know your opinions and if her research is valid from an archaeological or sociological point of view. Thank you very much Arith for all the effort and dedication you put into your videos.
@@ArithHärger First, I would like to say that I do not agree with her 100%, and since I am not an expert on the subject, I wanted to know the opinion of a professional, in this case, you dear Arith.

Amei seu vídeo amor, mas o problema não é o capitalismo kkkkk e sim as pessoas que não entenderam ele rsrs. Na verdade todos os sistemas podiam ser maravilhosos, o problema é o ser humano com toda a sua sede de poder. E também um fato muito importante, pk estamos em Ano de Saturno e não rola ilusão em Saturno kkk o problema de hoje em dia não é de quem está no poder e sim os submissos que defendem quem está no poder. Na verdade ainda vivemos em uma monarquia disfarçada kkkk E essa roda precisa ser quebrada 🤘🤘🤘💜

In irish November mi na samhain,the month of samhain,as an Irish man I'm very impressed you looked up how to pronounce, the names,it makes your presentation worthwhile and warrants some more listening to more of your channel
🤩😍
Thank you very much for watcing and listening and for that piece of information. Indeed I try to pronounce things as best as I can and find the best sources available. When it comes to language, it's always good to speak with those who know it, but sometimes it can be hard. Be well, friend. Hope you enjoy my other works. Stay safe out there!
