HAPPY HALLOWEEN & SAMHAIN!

Halloween is just a couple of days away. In the Celtic world, where my book A Gift from the Sea is set, Halloween was called Samhain. 

Samhain originated in ancient Europe as a Celtic holiday, but today, it is an event that is celebrated worldwide. It's a pagan holiday that acknowledges the end of the harvest and honors the changing of the seasons, with cold weather right around the corner.

While Halloween does have roots in Samhain, they are not the same thing. Samhain is still celebrated today by various groups including Wiccans and there are many ways in which the festival is celebrated. There are not only group rituals, but single rituals as well.

Whether you celebrate with kids in costumes, roaming the neighborhood, or simply enjoy the changing of the leaves (such as these in my front yard), take care and enjoy the change of seasons.

A New Book Release by Sue Anger

LAST KNOWN PORT

by Sue Anger

 

1923 was the year for boats and booze and rag and jazz.

      And the occasional missing sailor.

Anxious to see his brother after sailing off-shore for weeks, Jake Parson sails into Beaufort, North Carolina, in the Spring of 1923. After he docks in the harbor, he learns his brother is missing at sea. Set against Prohibition’s backdrop of boats and booze and rag and jazz, Jake senses foul play and believes the answers to his brother’s disappearance lay in the port town. His search leads him into the rum-running operations of Beaufort’s watermen.

More about the Author

Sue Anger grew up in Beaufort, North Carolina, where the past is always present. As a child, it was easy for Sue to walk around Beaufort’s windy streets, sail her waters and imagine the folks who had passed before her. And she never tired of listening to the stories of the land and the sea. Connect with Sue here: SueAnger.com
