Happy All Hallow's Eve

The Setting: Halloween. What is it, anyway?

According to Sabbatarian.com: "Samhain is the original festival that became "All Saints' Day," or "All Hallow's Evening". The day before Samhain is the last day of the old year and the day after Samhain is the first day of the pagan "New Year". Being a day "between years," it is considered a very magical night, when the dead walk among the living and the veils between past, present and future may be lifted in prophecy and divination."

And mysteriousbritain.co.uk:
"Traditionally, it is when the gates of the otherworld are open, a time when dark forces are abroad in the realm of humans."


Yikes! That's too much for me, man. All I wanna do is watch scary movies and eat some crown-threatening Tootsie Rolls, Dubble Bubble gum, and Dots. Happy Halloween!
