"HAPPY HALLOWEEN"

October 31, 2006

"Happy Halloween" - (can someone hit track 8 of "Bloody Kisses" cause it's "Type O Negitive" time of YEAR!)

Just wishing all the folks here @ "CherryTAP" (yes, it's still hard to write) Happy Halloween! It's a fun little tradition for a majority of the masses. A time for some festive yard displays & perhaps "begging" for the youths -or- costume parties for the young at heart.

It has a whole lot more meaning to some though. Rich and old as any Christian based holiday that many North Americans celebrate. Many of said holidays do have a mix of other religions, practices and beliefs ... Halloween, is of the Pagan & Neopagans. A rich and quite old holiday based around Samhain. In North America we have intermingled a few other cultural practices to what we observe as the Halloween/Trick or Treat season. But, there is more to it ... That's is what my BLOG is all about, brief thoughts (short summery) expressed by a neopagen writer. "What Halloween means to Neopagans:"

Halloween is the modern name for Samhain, an ancient Celtic holy day which many Neopagans — especially Wiccans, Druids and Celtic Reconstructionists — celebrate as a spiritual beginning of a new year. Halloween is a time to confront our personal and cultural attitudes towards death and those who have passed on before us. Halloween is a time to lift the veil between the many material and spiritual worlds in divination, so as to gain spiritual insight about our pasts and futures. Halloween is a time to deepen our connection to the cycles of the seasons, to the generations that have come before us and those that will follow, and to the Gods and Goddesses we worship. Halloween is a time to let our inner children out to play, to pass on our childhood traditions to our children, and to share the fun with our friends and neighbors of many other faiths.
