Good Samhain...and a fruitful new year

Okay, those Pagans out there are going to go, huh, isn't Samhain November 1st? I'm of the school that uses astronomy to determine the quarters and cross-quarters that make up our holidays. I figure in the old days, they celebrated as they observed the sun in relation to the elliptic, rather than sticking to a strict calendar, given the trouble with standardisation before our global culture.
