Happy Halloween!
Please note it is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, appropriateness and safety of any information, opinion or advice contained in the content below.I came across this very interesting 4-part-article on Halloween, or rather, its pagan root holiday, Samhain, and I thought to feature it here. This article explains us how this special holiday is to teach us how to overcome fear.
This article certainly gives a more comprehensive and soulful meaning to Halloween. It offers interesting stories and good values for you to relay to your children. ((A notch up from orange candy without going organic :-))
Below is the first part of the story…
“At its core, Samhain is about the night when the old God dies and the crone Goddess mourns him deeply for the next six weeks. The popular image of her as the old Halloween hag stirring her cauldron comes from the Celtic belief that all dead souls return to her cauldron of life, death and rebirth to await reincarnation.”
