Halloween was relegated to the children many moons ago. Though there are many of us – Wiccan and not – who love the holiday as well. There is something refreshing and transformative about it, beyond the cross-dressing and plain dress-up.
For many, Halloween is the last hurrah before a full season of familial and professional enforced gaiety – whence they drag the vessel of their stress and repository of all the fear and loathing in this world from office party to family gathering in a month-long horror fest of duty and pain they cannot escape without great cost…
It is a high holiday for a great many, but beyond your ideal of religion, philosophy or spirituality, I suggest you take Halloween as an opportunity to relive the fun parts of childhood. Become something or someone else for a few hours. Then partake in a treat or two… (tricks optional: ya freaks!)
