You scored as Samhain. Seen as the beginning of the cold season. It is balanced by the corresponding seasonal day of celebration called Beltain which signals the start of summer, 6 months later. Both of these are fire festivals. The ancient Celts probably held them exactly mid-way between an equinox (when day and night were equal) and the following solstice (when the nighttime was shortest or longest).
A time when the veil between this world and the next was at its thinnest. The Celts believed that upon death, everyone went to a beautiful place free of hunger, pain and disease.

I got Mabon, although I don't really know what that is.

Its a Pagan holiday that's all about harvest and fall and good times. For some trads, its like Thanksgiving, with lots of good food. It's generally all about the harvesty, foody parts of autumn, rather than the halloweeny parts of autumn.

Does that help at all?

Yup. I love the fall and I love cooking. Sounds like the holiday for me.
