What Is Halloween

As we celebrate this Halloween and many others, it is a time of recognition and respect for the ones that have died. Did you know that that is what Halloween was all about? It is not about dressing up in costumes and getting candy, but the celebration of death. That may sound weird to a lot of you, but death is a part of life. In fact, pagans including Wiccans believe in the "Afterlife." Everything in life on Earth recycles itself. How it is that us humans do not? They indeed do, but since human beings are at the top of the food chain, we do it in a more complex manner. This is called the "Afterlife."

This article is not to talk on the afterlife, but the concept of this great holiday, Halloween. With the war in Iraq there have been a lot of deaths that we all should reflect on. The free world should respect all that soldiers that fallen on behalf of the free world everywhere. Let's not forget the police, firemen, EMS personnel, and others that risk their lives every day that protects us from within our borders. Freedom comes at a very high price both in and out of our country's borders. For the ones that has fallen, I ask you to remember then on this and every Halloween night. Before you set your kids out for trick or treat, please have a quiet time to reflect on these fallen.

For the ones that have love ones that has pass away, remember then also. By remembering them in this manner, they are not really gone. They will be with us in our minds and soul throughout all our lives. Yes we do miss having them with us, but the memories will last forever. We might not be able to share our lives with them in the real sense, but we be able to share who they were within us and even with others. That is what Halloween is all about, love.

Blessed Be to Isis and you, and Happy Halloween,
