Alair Here's a drawing from one of my photos from Halloween 2008 that you can find on http://www.thepurplecat.fr/ and http://nus-nudes.blogspot.com/ .
Ce même dessin se retrouve dans ma composition "Oh mon Jack":
Samhain— from Irish Samhain, cf. Scottish Gaelic Samhuinn, Manx Gaelic Sauin and Old Irish Samain — means "summer's end", from sam meaning "summer" and fuin meaning "end"). It is a festival held on October 31–November 1 in Gaelic cultures. Many scholars think that it was the beginning of the Celtic year. Samhain marked the end of the harvest, the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darker half". The Gaels believed that the border between this world and the otherworld Became Samhain is thin.
For Samhain, once it was let large turnips, including drawing a face, then put them on the windowsill to keep away evil spirits. Me it was a pumpkin and oranges to slide in his final surprise: a fruit salad of hell!
