Samhain at Lichtenberg Castle: Experience old traditions!

Burg Lichtenberg, 66578 Thallichtenberg, Deutschland - In Thallichtenberg, a special event on Samhain will take place on October 31, 2024 at Lichtenberg Castle. That night when many people celebrate Irish Halloween, the rich tradition of the Celtic Festival Samhain will be aware of it. Although modern Halloween is constantly spreading, the knowledge of the origins is often lost.

The Celtic Festival Samhain marks the transition to the new vegetation year and stands for old traditions that go back until the time of our ancestors. It was not just about celebrations, but also about the importance of important political and economic discussions within the tribal communities. For three days, a new cycle was heralded with delicious dishes and festive customs.

hidden entities and traditional stories

At Samhain, the end of the summer and the beginning of winter meet. This transition period is particularly magical because the boundaries between the worlds are permeable. Consultations state that encounters with ancestors and supernatural beings are possible during this time. Ms. Holle or Ms. Percht play a central role in this because she is worshiped both as a goddess of death and as a benefactor of people. In old stories it offers protection and support, especially during the dark winter months.

During the upcoming event at Lichtenberg Castle, these old customs and stories are brought back to life on Samhain and the popular belief around All Saints' Day. A warming autumn punch and a small snack will sweeten the evening and invite you to put yourself back in this magical world.

A contribution of 15 euros is provided for participating in this special evening. Interested parties should register with the castle administration beforehand, either by phone at 06381 8429 (from 12 noon) or by email to burg-lichtenberg@kv-kus.de.

This event not only represents a great social occasion, but also promotes awareness of regional traditions and the Celtic culture in general. Information about the origin of Samhain and its importance for the communities will offer the participants valuable insights.
