In case you were wondering....

The correct way to pronounce Samhain is "shavnah".  If you're female, it's supposed to be "havnah", though these days most Gaelic-speaking people just use "shavnah".

    I have never heard this, how interesting! Everything I have read/heard has it being pronounced "sow-ween", "sow-win" or the like. Like how she pronounces it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/CharmingPixieFlora#p/search/3/ip5skhlO9DI

    this is actually incorrect and that particular poster was corrected by two linguists and native Irish speakers.
