By the way the word Holiday came from Holy day. What the druids, and witches do is call upon samhian, the "lord" of the dead and call up spirits of the wicked which are nothing more than demons that roam about. Then the druids would go to the towns and pick out houses and tell them by mid-night, you give them a virgin (male or female/baby or child) for them to give to samhian, for them to sacrifice to samhian.

They did this so they will have a "good" year of cattle, crops and so on. Then they would carve out a PUMPKIN and put a "candle" of human fat in it leaving it in front of the house on the steps or at the front of the door. When the druids came back to the house if there was not a virgin there known as the TREAT, the house then would get a TRICK. The TRICK was the druids using human blood drawing a hexagram on the door of the home. Within three days time if a TREAT (virgin human sacrifice) was not given that family of the home or a member would die. If the druids took the TREAT (virgin human sacrifice) and where pleased with it, they would light the human fat candle so the face carved in the PUMPKIN would light up, and the demons would pass by that house and not kill them. DO NOT DRESS UP OR DRESS YOUR KIDS UP IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY ARE A FROG- DO NOT PARTAKE IN ANY OF IT! The druids DRESSED UP in scary, goulash outfits (costumes) entertain the spirits (demons) called up months before the eve of samhain, so they can partake in the evening. Do you do the bobbing for apples thing? So did they back then. If you could with one try get the apple out of the water (which by the way is boiling water) you would live a mangled life. If not, you would be murdered right there. Do you have a cardboard cut out of cute little witches with their "cone of power" pointed hat (meaning craft practice) with their little broom?
