Tap IntoYour Inner Magic on The Pagan New Year's Eve Halloween is the Pagan New Year's Eve. The Celts celebrated their New Year on November 1st with a festival that marked the end of the year just passed and also the changing seasons. During this three-day festival, people dressed in costumes made from the skins and heads of animals. The crops had been harvested and stored ready for the winter and on 31st October, all cooking fires in homes were extinguished. Celtic priests gathered on hilltops to light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. They danced around the flames until dawn and when morning arrived, they gave an ember to each family to take home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep their homes warm and protect the occupants from evil spirits.
