Last night was Halloween to the secular world, but to the ancient Celts, the coming of November first at midnight was the start of the festival. At this time of winding down of the processes of nature, may we also take time from our busy lives and share the gathered fruits of the harvest, and of our hearts.

Samhain is also the name of a band once fronted by Glen Danzig, who later formed the band, Danzig. He was also in Misfits and has done some solo work.

Glen does have an avid interest in the occult and various religions and beliefs. However, he nor any of his bands have claimed to be especially Pagan. For the most part, it seems they use the imagery for shock value. Glen is considered a forefather of horror punk style music. Danzig and Samhain sites are adorned with Pagan images and their fans who post to the sites often have Pagan names and talk of Pagan things. I do like some of the music myself.
