Collection: Halloween

A smattering of the spooky and spoopy (and the odd monster) as we look to celebrate October running into Halloween.

And much as the ancient Celts believed Samhain (how it all began, well over 2,000 years ago) was the day in the year when the gap between our world and the spirit world was blurred, making it easier for the spirits of the dead to return we kind of see Halloween today in the same way: a blurring of late autumn fun and a celebration of late harvest, mists and mellow fruitfulness and nestling down for winter.

Apples (for bobbing) and squashed and pumpkins (for eating not just carving) not provided - try Food Circle York's regular food markets in Tang Hall or these as they as in / coming into season now.
