Last year, I dressed up as a witch, and all my friends went, "Hey, how come you didn't dress up???" We all laughed.... razz

For me, Halloween is (was?) about trick o' treating wink . But now I'm starting to look at it differently...

I still have no idea what I should wear to the party we're having at school, though. Either a vampire or a cowgirl? I don't know...

Hope you know, I wasn't trying to correct you.
Sorry; I get defensive and thrown into attack mode - my bad.

Just add to the discussion. Here is a great article on Samhain if anyone is interested. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/7280/
For anything called "Samhain", I'd still go with the Celts for info.

Quote:
"Our" meaning the people who are able to attend.
Good. I don't like groups who want to "honor my ancestors" etc. Its on the same lines of people who want to pray to YHVG for me for whatever reason unless I say they can.

Quote:
Why we release things at Halloween/Samhain. It follows the concept that each holiday effects our inner realities as well. Especially at Samhain when the veil between worlds is thinner. Death is a transformation in our views, not necessarily an end. So as we celebrate the event of death during this turn of the seasonal wheel, we reflect on the releasing of old habits and ways of thought. Hope that answered your question.
I like the idea of transitional/reflective holidays - but then again, I thrive off of introspection xp

Quote:
I love pumpkin seeds, too. What is your favorite holliday?
CHRISTMAS!! heart
Presents, feasting, family... Some people I only ever see at Christmas.
Thanksgiving is great too, but some years we don't do anything... sad

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of magic users/mages/witches on Gaia using the Shadow Spirit (especially the Ring of Fire, Fire Swarm, or Spirit Scamp poses) on their avatars.
I think it's neat. I just hope that I don't forget to donate before the month's up xp

Sidenote: I didn't get to go to the doggie party as planned. I'm sad about it cry emo

I wish you all have a Blessed Samhain! I hope everyone has fun tonight. I, unfortunately, have to work tonight. We're suppose to wear costumes... not too happy 'bout that, because of the fact that it's always so hot in there and I'm going to die in my costume. I'm going as a vampiress, except, I'm just wearing the dress (it has longish sleeves and it's like a velvety material)... no fake vampire teeth or anything... just the dress... I know, I'm lazy. I was going to go as a Witch, but that's what I always dressed up as when I was a child (I had always wanted to be a Witch), back before I knew I could actually be a real Witch. And so, I decided to be different this year.

And then, after I come home, I'm doing my Self-dedication and then my Samhain ritual! I'm excited about that!!

On another note: Happy birthday to the guild!!!!!
