Since before the days when ancient Irish kings lit a bonfire on the Hill of Tlachtga, Scots, Picts, Irish, and English tribes such as Druids celebrated the feast of Samhain (SOW-an). Falling on the midpoint between the autumn equinox and winter solstice, Samhain is a celebration of the abundance of the harvest, and the thinning of the veil into the world of the dead. 

This special bonus episode of Powerful Trouble discusses the lore surrounding this Celtic witch's holiday, and the ways it's influenced modern celebrations of Halloween and All Saints Day.
