The Celtic legend of Jack O' Lantern and the origins of Halloween rewritten in a positive way: no Monsters, Ghosts, Witches, Werewolves ... just a man and his life's journey, his thoughts and his decisions. A little motivational and positive thinking novelette.


★★★ Synopsis ★★★


According to an ancient Celtic legend it is said that on the night of Samhain (The Celtic New Year's Eve), a night that is outside the cycle of time because it belongs neither to the Old Year that has just ended nor the New Year that has not yet begun, it may be possible to discern, in the mists that separate the world of the living from that of the spirits, a man who wanders in search of the road to Paradise. He holds his lantern in a hollowed out pumpkin, and inside it there would be a burning firebrand from the embers of hell.


That man is Jack!

Jack O' Lantern.


But who was Jack?

The only ordinary man who has a feast day dedicated to him that by now is celebrated the world over!


Why do we celebrate him on Halloween night?


Hardly anyone knows his story; "To hell with them!" Jack would say.

La historia del origen de Halloween, la leyenda celta de Jack O' Lantern reescrita de forma positiva: sin monstruos, fantasmas, brujas, hombres lobo... sólo un hombre y el viaje de su vida, sus pensamientos y sus decisiones. Una pequeña novela de motivación y pensamiento positivo.


★★★ Sinopsis ★★★


Según una antigua leyenda celta, se dice que durante la noche de Samhain (el año nuevo celta), ubicada fuera del ciclo del tiempo, pues no pertenece ni al año que acaba de pasar ni al que está por comenzar, se podría distinguir, entre la neblina que separa el mundo de los vivos del de los espíritus, a un hombre que vaga buscando el camino hacia el paraíso, con su lámpara hecha de una calabaza tallada, y que en cuyo interior hay un trozo de carbón ardiente, proveniente de las brasas del infierno.


¡Ese hombre es Jack!

¡Jack O' Lantern!


Pero ¿Quién era Jack?

El único hombre común a quien se le dedica una festividad que se celebra en todo el mundo.


¿Por qué durante Halloween (festividad que evoca las tradiciones y ritos del Samhain) lo recordamos?


Casi nadie conoce su historia, "¡condenados sean!", exclamaría Jack.
