Sinopse

Halloween Origins explores the captivating journey of Halloween, revealing its transformation from ancient Celtic roots to a global phenomenon. The book traces the evolution of Samhain, a pagan festival marked by rituals and beliefs, into the modern celebration of All Hallows' Eve. It highlights how customs like wearing costumes originated not just from playful intent, but also from the need to ward off wandering spirits. 

 
The book examines the Christianization of pagan practices and the transatlantic journey of Halloween traditions to North America, where they underwent further adaptation. Halloween Origins also offers a fresh perspective on the commercialization of Halloween, exploring debates surrounding cultural appropriation and authenticity. It utilizes diverse sources, including folklore archives and contemporary ethnographic studies, to present a nuanced understanding of this continually evolving holiday.

 
Structured chronologically, the book begins with pre-Christian Celtic traditions and progresses through the Christianization period, transatlantic adaptations, and modern commercial influences. This approach provides a comprehensive overview, making it valuable for anyone interested in the cultural and historical significance of Halloween.

    A book of hope, of discovery, of love. 
    We all want connection; we all want to feel love. 
    In a desperation to find my ideal version of love, or what I thought it ‘should’ look like, I lost myself for a while there. 
    I became addicted to anxiety; this was my way out. My safety net! Sounds crazy, but true. After quite a journey I started to understand what I was doing, looking for a perfect love in all the wrong places! Discoveries surfacing through writing and meditation. A new mindful way of living, things started to become a little clearer. My days became a little less fearful and my life a little brighter. My faith and connection with love restored. I share with you in this book, what helped me, the magic of feeling love and understanding, that this won’t or can’t look the same to us all. Showing up everyday and trusting what you know holds so much value. 
    Don’t try and change who you are, try and find who you are instead. 
    When anxiety became present with my youngest daughter, I knew I needed to find the tools for her and also myself to be able to deal with our anxiety and create a safe space for us both and not let the anxiety rule our daily lives. 
    We began doing breathing techniques, including the 4-7-8 breathing method, which is one we really enjoy together, you will find this technique in the book and so much more. I hope you enjoy reading it and if you do, please let me know whet you think. 
    There are so many ways to work with me, check out the back of the book or visit my website 'ROOM 478'
