The veil between the living and the spirit world

Pavor Nocturnus.

 

Halloween is almost here:

The origins are believed to come from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain where people dressed up in costumes around bonfires to scare off the wandering ghosts. It was a time where the harvest had ended and the cold was drawing in, a season that signified death and beliefs about the boundary between the world of the living and the dead.

 

Celebrated on October 31, the Celts believed that during this time, the veil between the living and the spirit world was at its thinnest.
