The Celts called it Samhain<\/b> which celebrated the end of harvest
\nand the beginning of winter. It literally means ‘summer’s end’ and is the primary festival marking the end and the beginning of the year.
\nAlong with Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasadh it makes up the four Gaelic seasonal festivals.
\nSamhain was the evening when the veil between our world and
\n‘Netherworld’ was believed to be at their thinnest. It’s the feast of the dead, like Beltane is the feast of the living.
\nBonfires played a big part in the festivities -much like with Beltane- people would jump over the fires or walk between them as a cleansing ritual.
\nCostumes and masks -usually animal heads and hides- were worn, as an attempt to cast of or taunt the evil spirits, this was referred to as ‘guising’.
\nIt was also the time for farmers to choose which animals would need to be
\nslaughtered to get through the winter. This custom is still
\nobserved now by many who raise livestock as the animals will no longer graze outside.
\nFood offerings were also made at Samhain, people would leave vegetables outside of their door to please the evil spirits and fairies. Later in time the food offerings changed into lanterns made of hollowed turnips – much resembling the carved pumpkins we know today.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The earliest record we have
\nof Samhain in the Celtic world comes from the Coligny Calendar<\/a>,
\na Celtic lunisolar calendar engraved on bronze tablets believed to be dating back to the first century AD. It was written in Gaulish, a Celtic language very close related to the Brythonic being Cornish, Welsh, Breton, Cumbric and maybe even Pictish.
\nCeltic
\nmythology is originally a spoken tradition, the irony is that the
\ntraditions and tales were eventually written down by Christian monks in
\nthe Middle Ages who then Christianized them to suit there needs and
\nbelieves. After all the best way to strip the people of their believes
\nis to simply adopt them to later on adapt them…<\/p>\n

<\/a>In my childhood there was no halloween, we had ‘All saints day’ and ‘All souls day’, we went to clean the gravestones of those who had passed and leave flowers for them…
\nBut I was lucky because my mum<\/b><\/a> had always been interested in Celtic mythology and she taught me about Samhain and all the other traditions when growing up.
\nSo in a way, I grew up with Celtic traditions. On our travels to Britain we were always in search for Celtic and pre-celtic heritage while my mum told us tales about it in the car.
\nI feel fortunate to have been exposed to different traditions and religions as a child, I think it makes me a more liberal-minded person. It also makes me wonder how people can follow their religion and tradition blindly and without asking questions… but that is another story…<\/p>\n

On to the soup!
\nI call this my harvest soup, it contains turnips, apples potatoes and a good homemade stock.<\/p>\n

What do you need<\/b><\/p>\n

butter
\n4 turnips (I used butter or yellow turnips)
\n1 bramley apple (or 1 cox)
\n1 large potato
\n1 liter of chicken or vegetable stock.<\/p>\n

to decorate
\ntoast ham or bacon for 1 minute in the microwave between a sheet of greaseproof paper
\ntoast stale bread and cut into chunks<\/p>\n

Method <\/b>
\nDice all the vegetables and apple.
\nOver a high fire heat two teaspoons of butter in a medium sized pan.
\nAdd all the vegetables and apple and stir so they don’t burn
\nWhen slightly glazed add the stock and simmer for 30 minutes
\nMix the soup until all the chunks are gone
\nPut back on the fire and bring to the boil for another minute
\nSeason to taste with pepper and salt
\nServe with the toasted bread and crispy ham or bacon<\/p>\n

Enjoy and remember to set an extra plate for the spirits…<\/p>\n
