Now that October has properly begun, it is not all that far until Halloween.
Those who celebrate the spooky holiday do so in all kinds of ways, whether it's a scary movie marathon or a visit to a pumpkin patch. If you're keen to spend Halloween night doing something a bit more unique — and a bit more traditional — then you should head to Edinburgh.
On October 31, under Arthur's Seat in the capital's Holyrood Park, Samhuinn Fire Festival will be held. This one-of-a-kind event celebrates the transition from summer to winter.
A modern re-imagining of an ancient Celtic festival, Samhuinn Fire Festival is an "immersive storytelling experience" that combines performance, music, and dance. Samhuinn dates back hundreds of years, when it marked the end of the harvest season.

The reimagined festival, which has been held in the capital since 1995, sees participants dress up in beautiful and elaborate costumes. It is the counterpart to the Beltane Fire Festival, which was held on Edinburgh's Calton Hill on April 30.
Centred around a narrative of winter overthrowing summer, the unique event is a mix of theatre, drumming, fire dancing, and acrobatics. Among the key characters in the performance is the Cailleach, a Celtic representation of the Goddess, or Divine Hag.
The official Beltane Fire Festival website states: "The Samhuinn Fire Festival marks the changing of the seasons and rise of Winter by bringing ancient Celtic stories alive with a modern and fiery twist.
"As the darkness creeps in on Halloween, glorious bursts of fire and the thudding of drums will rise up on Holyrood Park. Samhuinn draws near!

On the heels of the wonderful 2019 The Two Popes, in which Anthony Hopkins starred as Pope Benedict XVI in an imagined conversation with Jonathan Pryce’s future Pope Francis, Hopkins is once again involved in the same kind of cinematic historical fictional meeting as founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, who is engaged in a private debate with The Chronicles of Narnia author and theologian C.S. Lewis (played by Matthew Goode) on the existence of God. As with The Two Popes, there is no proof whatsoever that any meeting ever took place, but it clearly provides lots of material to wrap your head around.

Nicholi Jr in his presentation “The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life.”
