Leviticus 23 is also quite specific about how these Holy days are to be celebrated. Are you doing everything as proscribed, say, for the Festival of Weeks?

There's not much proscribed and what is proscribed I agree with and do not engage in. But I'm assuming you meant to use another word besides proscribed.

The Encyclopedia of Religion explains: "Halloween is the name for the eve of Samhain.

The Encyclopedia of Religion should be ashamed of itself. Halloween is a contraction for "All Hallows E'en", or "All Hallows (i.e. All Saints) Evening". "Halloween" just means is the evening before All Saints Day. It's not a name for Samhain AT ALL. The name is purely Christian.

Ouch, you are correct, the use of proscribe was incorrect. Wildly incorrect at that. Oh for an edit button. And now it’s really hard to ask a somewhat snarky question after botching my word choice.

Change proscribe to prescribe. You can take it from there (or not).
