Wait, so are you saying Samhain is actually tonight?
Yes. Ancient people used solstices and equinoxes and the moon to keep track of the seasons, and tracked those days using standing stones and ring circles (like Stonehenge.) That's why you'll find such things all over Europe and the British Isles, and other places, too.
They were actually quite good at natural science - their lives depending on tracking the seasons - and that's how they did it.
The modern Julian calendar was not put into practice until 45 BC, but there were people living and thriving around the world for at least 2,000 to 3,000 years before that.
