I want to wish everyone both a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain!
(http://lubuntu.me/blessed-samhain/)
On the pre-Christian Celtic calendar, October 31 was Samhain, pronounced Soo-when or Sow-when, and it marked the day when the world of the living and dead where at the closest. It is also the end of year, with November 1 as the start of the next year. This day is one of the most important Gaelic/Celtic/Pagan/Wiccan/Druidic holidays of the year! And please do not worry about the devil–he is not a part of Samhain. There is nothing evil here.
Samhain/Halloween is a day to remember those who have passed and to think of the future.
So, enjoy the day, dress up, have candy, party, and raise a toast and wish all a Happy New Year!

Happy Halloween, Dr. French. It’s my daughter’s favorite holiday. When my daughter married, she had a pagan wedding and took a great deal of time to educate me on the history of religions. She loves history. It was so beautiful and she gave out tree starts to all her guests. She chose April 22 (earth day) for the wedding. We have some funny ideas about Halloween, don’t we?

You’re right, Samhain (All Hallows Eve) isn’t about the Devil or Devil Worship, but that’s what my kids are getting told in school! Bothers me. Christian School but I’m a bit pagan for thier tastes!

I am sure they have issues with anyone who is pagan.
