The AIRR Tech Team broke out their jack o'lanterns to celebrate October 31st, the ancient Pagan festival of Samhain or Sauin, also known as Last Harvest, Ancestor Night, Feast of the Dead, and "Celtic New Year," from which many modern activities derive, including the lighting of bonfires, contact with ancestors, mediumship, the use of spirit boards and other tools of Spiritualism , divination with nuts and apples, the carving of pumpkins containing candles or lamps, bobbing for apples, and the ever-popular tradition of dressing in ghostly and witchy costumes and going door-to-door trick-or-treating for candy. Catherine Yronwode wrote the page, Miss Phoenix and Catherine sourced the photographs, Papa Newt proofread the page and did site-wide linking, and Nagasiva Yronwode did proofreading and created this graphic announcement.
