The origins of Halloween are from that of Celtic Pagans, so Paganism. It was the celebration of the end of the harvest where the line between the living and the dead was the thinnest so they would wear scary masks to blend in with the spirits and carve turnips to make lanterns that ward off evil.

Ancient Celtic Pagans have left their mark across the length and breadth of European history, myth and legend. Your local library has shelves of books on the subject. Modern (Neo-) Celtic Pagans come in several branches. There are Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Gaullic, Pictish, several branches of Druids and other blended Celtic Pagans. Like any large group with many diverse sub-sections, it is very near impossible to generalise for the entire group. However, if you are willing to do the reading, you will find R.Buckland has several books on Scottish and Pictish Celtic Pagans; D J Conway has several books on general, Irish and Women's Celtic Paganism; E. McCoy has several books on general and Women's Celtic Paganism; P. Berresford Ellis, E.E. Hopman, L .Spence al have books on Druidism. That just scratches the surface, but sets you on the right path.
