Celtic Society Wishes You a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain


Halloween has its roots in the Celtic celebration of Samhain [SOW when] that marks the end of summer, the lighter half of the year, and the beginning of winter, the darker half. On Samhain, the boundary that usually separates our world from the supernatural Otherworld becomes permeable, and mortals may find themselves face-to-face with the Fairy Sidhe [SHEE]--or in the Otherworld itself. So, as night falls this Hallow's eve, be careful where you wander and remember that some of those costumed creatures you encounter may be visitors from the Otherworld.

Celtic Society’s purpose is to raise awareness of the Celtic Nations (Brittany, Cornwall, Galicia, Ireland, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales) and diaspora. It aims to share and celebrate Celtic culture with the college community.

Celtic Society welcomes all students, faculty, and employees, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds.

For more information about Celtic Society, including its weekly meeting and monthly screening of Celtic film, please contact Chieftain Jason Childers at
