Tinonzwa mutsetse uyu mufirimu Hocus Pocus uye isu tinoseka nekuti hatigone kufungidzira kuti Halloween ingori chero chinhu asi husiku hunonakidza hwekuti vana vanyengere kana kurapa uye vanhu vakuru kuti vapfeke uye vave vasina hunhu sezvavanoda kuva kwehusiku ihwohwo kunze kwegore. Hatina kumbofungidzira kuti zvinogona kunge zvakambove chero chimwe chinhu. Asi, Halloween yakabva kupi? Chaive chii paakatanga? Kuti tiwane mhinduro, isu tichafanirwa kutora rwendo tese kudzoka kumashure kune nguva nyika dzevaCelt nemadzitateguru avo, vane maitiro aizove zororo ratinopemberera nhasi.

Nepo pasina munhu anogona kurovera pasi chaiko pakatanga mhemberero iyi, fungidziro yedu yepedyo yemuviri wayo wekutanga ndeye makore zviuru zvishanu apfuura. Panguva iyoyo, hupenyu hwevanhu hwaitenderera mwaka yegore uye kumwe kwekuungana kukuru kwaizoitika panguva yekukohwa kwekupedzisira. Yakanga isina zita ratinoziva, asi mhuri yese yaiuya pamwe chete sekupedzisira kwezviyo nemiriwo zvaizoita kuti kupona kwavo munguva yechando kuchengetwe. Bonfires yaizobatidzwa uye vanhu vaitamba vakavakomba, vachipa kutenda kuna Vamwari kune rimwe gore rerubatsiro. Kubva panguva yekutanga, moto waive mucherechedzo weUMwari mune chero chimiro, uye ivo vakafarira kubatana kwavakanzwa kunaVamwari mukupisa kunodziya kwemirazvo.

Sezvo nguva yakapfuura, uye vanhu vePaleopagan venharaunda iyi vakawedzera kurongeka, hurongwa hwedzinza hwakagadziriswa hwaizokanganisa mativi ese ehupenyu hwavo. Chikamu chevapirisita, chinozivikanwa semaDruid, chakange chava nesimba uye vakatungamira vanhu mukupemberera mitambo mina yemoto gore rese pamwe nekushandira kune zvavaida zvezuva nezuva. MaDruid akaitawo sevamiriri pakati pemhuri nevatongi vezvakaipa zvakaitwa mumadzinza. Ino inguva yekutanga apo zororo / kupemberera kwedu kupihwa zita uye zita iro ndiSamhain (anonzi "SOW-en"). Zvichireva "Kupera kwezhizha", Samhain yakaratidza kupera kwemwaka wekukohwa uye kuburukira muchikamu "chakasviba" chegore apo nguva yechando yezhizha yaiswedera.

Yakanga iri panguva ino apo Samhain yakatanga kutora imwe nhete yekupemberera uye zvinoreva. Vanhu vakadzidziswa kuti pahusiku uhwu, chifukidziro pakati penyika ino neinotevera chaive padete. Kwakave kwakajairika kutenda kuti madzitateguru edu vaizotenderera pasi pano paSamhain husiku. Mhuri dzaizoisa imwe yekuisa pamatafura avo nechikafu nekumwa kune avo vavanoda vanogona kuvashanyira. Makenduru akabatidzwa ndokuiswa mumahwindo ekutungamira midzimu kwavaienda.

Asi vaisava ivo chete madzitateguru avo ane rudo aigona kuyambuka chifukidziro icho. Mimwe midzimu inogona kuita rwendo irworwo, zvakare, uye havazi vese vaive nevavariro dzakanaka. Kuti vazvidzivirire kubva kumweya yakaipa iyi, varume nevakadzi vakachenjera vemakirasi eDruid vakadzidzisa vanhu kuve nehunyanzvi paSamhain husiku. Vaive vaziva nyaya dze "will o 'the wisp" yaive mweya yaioneka semwenje diki murima. Vafambi vaitevera mwenje vobva varasika mumasango nemumatope. Nekudaro, vanhu vaiburitsa matipi makuru uye voisa kenduru kana marasha anopfungaira mukati kuti vatakure navo paSamhain husiku. Tariro yavo yaive yekuti midzimu igoona mwenje wavo uye vafunge kuti vaive vamwe mweya, nokudaro vachibvisa pfungwa kure navo. Yakavewo tsika yakajairika panguva ino, yekuti vagari vemumusha vapfeke masiki kuti vavanze hunhu hwavo uyezve vanganise midzimu ingaedza kuvakuvadza. Pano, zveshuwa, kwaive kuberekwa kwetsika dzechizvino-zvino dzaJack O 'Lanterns uye kupfeka zvipfeko paHalloween husiku.

Vapristi vechiDruid vaidaidza madzinza pamwe chete kutenderedza moto kuti vatambe uye vafare sezvavaigara vachiita. Vakadzi vakangwara, vakadzidza munzira dzemagick uye kufanotaura ramangwana, vaikanda mijenya yavo uye verenga zviratidzo zvekufanotaura zviitiko zvegore rinouya. Vechidiki majaya nemhandara vaigadzira mazango ekuratidzira kuzivikanwa kwevanoda vavanoda. Yakanga iri nguva yegoridhe kwavari uye nekutenda kwavo, asi pakanga paine simba idzva rezvematongerwo enyika nerechinamato richisimuka uye raizokurumidza kuchinja maitiro evanhu nekutenda kwavo zvachose.
