History
of
Hallowe'en
I""
HE
night
when
black
witches
brew
mysterious
concoctions,
full
of
strange
enchantment
in
their
boiling
cauldrons,
black
cats
prowl
and
howl
and
wild-shadows,
is
about
to
startle
us
once
more.
Hallowe'en,
the
thirty-first
of
October,
brings,
out
the
mischief
and
gaiety
which
makes
entertaining
a
simple
matter.
The
prankish
and
frolicsome
spirit
comes
out
in
spme
f
oi:m
with
all
of
us,
from
the
small
boys
and
girls
to
the
grown-up
folk.
;Sppoks
and
wild
fun
are
legendary
with
Hal-,
lowe'en
but
it
seems
that
this
festival
originated
in
the
Christian
church.
It
was
the
name
given
to
the
evening
of
the
thirty-first
of
October
as
the
vigil
of
Hallow
mass
or
All
Saints
Day.
Before
he
Christian.era,
however,
the
eve
of
.the
thirty-first
of
October
was
the
occasion,
of
harvest
and
other
ceremonies
in
various
countries
and
the
festivities
which
were
gradually
gathered
around
the
Christian
Hallowe'en
at
a
later
date
originated
for
the
most
parttin
countries
under
the
sway
of
the
Druid
religion,
chiefly
Britain,
plus
a
few
indoor
and
outdoor
celebrations
borrowed
from
the
pagan
.Roman
festival
to
the
goddess
of
fruit.
The
two
chief
characteristics
of
ancient
Hallow-e'en
were
the
lighting
of
bonfires
and
the
belief
that.
Hallowe'en
was
the
only
night
of
the
year
on
which
.ghosts,
warlocks,
witches
and
evil,
spirits
were
permitted
to
wander
on
earth.
One
of
the
peculiar
beliefs
in
bygone
days,
associated
with
Hallowe'en
ascribes
to
children
born
on
that
day
the
possession
of
certain
peculiar
faculties,
such
as
the
ability
to
see
and
to
hold
converse
with
supernatural
beings,
It
is
interesting
to
recall
that
in
his
romance
"The
Monastery,"
Sir
Walter
Scott
makes
use
of
this
circumstance,
and
in
conjunction
with
it,
another,
also
linked
with
the
supernatural,
that
of
familiar
spirits
attaching
themselves
to
notable
families
and
making
their
presence
known
at
the
approach
of
crises
with
timely
warnings
of
impending
events
in
the
liyes
of
those
to
whom
they
so
bound
themselves.
