The Origins and Evolution of Halloween: From Neolithic Paganism to the Modern Celebration (Mythology and history)

By Erik Müller

Halloween is a festival of contradictions. It is both playful and solemn, both secular and spiritual, both ancient and modern. For some, it is a night of costumes, candy, and revelry; for others, it is a time to reflect on mortality and honor the dead. Beneath its surface of jack-o'-lanterns and haunted houses, Halloween carries deep historical and cultural significance, tracing its roots to ancient rites, religious observances, and folklore that have endured for millennia.
