On Monday we celebrated Halloween or ‘'All Hallows Eve' a a tradition originating from the Celtic festival Samhain, where people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward of evil spirits. In other cultures, Halloween is also seen as a time when the boundaries between worlds is particularly traversal.
