Listen tonight (on the dark moon) to the Gypsy Scholar present (originally broadcast Monday, October 28th) the first installment of the Orphic Essay-with-Soundtrack series for the Celtic cross-quarter festival of Samhain and the American festival of Hallowe’en (“All Hallows Eve”) entitled “Samhain & Hallowe’en,” which are both celebrated on the eve of November 1st. Listen and discover that the simultaneity of dates is not mere happenstance, since Hallowe’en has its origin in Samhain, a dark time when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is at its thinnest and the dead return.
This extended program is now available for listening on the “Archived Musical Essays” webpage, along with the corresponding playlist on the “Program & Playlists” webpage, of the Tower of Song website at revradiotowerofsong.com
