520			_a"The Book of Hallowe'en" by Ruth Edna Kelley is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book explores the origins, history, and various customs associated with Hallowe'en, tracing its roots through ancient pagan traditions, Celtic practices, and Christian adaptations. Kelley aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of how Hallowe'en has evolved over time and absorbed elements from different celebrations and beliefs. The opening of the book introduces the concept of sun-worship and its influence on early festivals, including Hallowe'en. Kelley discusses how primitive cultures revered the sun-god, incorporating themes of light, darkness, and agricultural cycles. As she transitions into the specifics of Celtic beliefs, she outlines the significance of Samhain, the festival marking summer's end, and highlights customs such as fire rites and the honoring of deities, which laid the groundwork for later Hallowe'en traditions. The beginning establishes a context for the exploration of Hallowe'en festivities and beliefs that will follow in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
