Soween: (Halloween, Samhain) Prehistoric in origin. The rising of the Pleiades star group, symbolizing the death of the Crone Goddess. One of the Celtic idiosyncrasies was the concept of beginning in darkness and working towards the light. As the year started with winter, the days started at sundown. Thus the night from October 31st to November 1st was part of samhain, known as oiche shamhna or "evening of samhain".
