Sunday challenge - Hallowe'en ~ but with a focus on black. Despite Halloween's rich history and the shared culture between Australia, Britain and the US, Australia doesn't really celebrate the festival... although we sometimes have a few trick or treaters. Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, originates from Celtic culture in the British Isles, with All Hallows’ Eve typically being linked to the festival of Samhain, or Summer’s End. This festival marked the end of summer and the harvest season, and the beginning of the darker half of the year. The spooky side of Halloween comes from the idea that this period is considered a ‘liminal time’. This means that the boundary between the physical world and the spiritual world is weaker, allowing spirits and fairies (called the Aos Si) to cross into the physical. In times past, food and drink would be left outside for these fairies to ensure good luck and survival through winter... spooky events associated with Halloween being linked to less daylight, and in Australia we have more daylight now, going into Summer, which traditionally starts 1 December.
