Samhain or Sauin was an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of harvest and beginning of winter, celebrated around October 31st to November 1st, considered the Celtic New Year where the veil between worlds thinned, allowing spirits to visit, leading to bonfires, ancestor honoring, and traditions that evolved into modern Halloween. Conical hat = knowledge. The cauldron = symbol for the origins of life and magical power of women. 5000 years of propagandized definitions have twisted the meaning of female empowerment.
