Halloween Celebrations

While most cultures honor their deceased ancestors, the date for the celebrations have varied widely.s a time when the veils between the worlds were thin.

The names and dates of the 8 Solar Holidays are placed around the wheel of the year on the 8 points of a star.

The Eight Solar Holidays

Ancient cultures celebrated 8 Solar Holidays over the course of a year. Half of those Solar Holidays are still acknowledged as the beginning of each of the 4 seasons which divide the year into 4 equal parts giving rise to the name Quarter Holidays. Not surprisingly, the 4 celebrations that are celebrated halfway between the start of the 4 seasons are called Cross Quarter Days.
