Er, it's 'planes' actually, 'plains' refers to a kind of terrain, 'planes' refers to eg. The Astral Plane, The Material Plane, etc.

Or; (for example), reside in my cupboard, waiting for the perfect opportunity to eat my precious wheat-bix. Or is that mice? Whatever. :/
I'm not sure that I want the dead to walk on the mortal plane freely... I guess that's why in America it's suppose to be scary :/

Maybe it's because I wasn't born in America... America's afraid of everything, even gay people.

I mean it's SUPPOSED to be scary. Like every other holiday, it's been turned into a consumerist holiday that no-one takes seriously. I mean, taking the day when the dead are meant to walk the earth in spirit form, and turning into a hedonistic chocolate eating contest? stare

Hmm... Halloween. My entire family hates the holiday. But they're close-minded and not very well-informed. I personally love it. It used to have spiritual meaning for me when I was younger. But now it gives me a chance to take candy from strangers in a silly costume.  Halloween for me now is kind of like Christmas. People get together, eat a bunch of food, and give selflessly, if just for the satisfaction you're making someone else happy.

DrathBlue To me halloween is the closes day to the dead. The day people light candles and leave them and food at the door for the dead. Plus I always seem I watch for spectors, it's fun to do. I know this is going to sound a bit crazy but I like it when they talk to me. no its actually believed to open the door to the death for the night. Edit. I think it's unfair that the church want to ban halloween. It's new year to pagans plus it's part of many people's reilgon. its actually the start of winter not new year.

Halloween is Samhain (soh-en), the Celtic New Year, a day to look back and remember the things that we did, events we enjoyed, and lives that we touched.
samhain is not a new year.its the beginning of winter and it is pronounced sow-in.

Yes, the people might try to do that, but well, I'm referring to the sort of cold, uncaring capitalism that gives western countries in general, (and America in specific), a bad name. Soon you have evil corporations everywhere, and there's nothin' for it except a molotov in selective shop windows.

Wow... I started this thread in 2004, and probably haven't been to Gaia in just as long, so imagine my surprise when I saw any activity in it. I guess that's because Halloween comes every year, again and again, so it has no reason to die.
I've been trying to make it a tradition to hold a yearly scavenger hunt for Halloween. I'm 22 now, and the last year I trick-or-treated was when I was 20 (people assume I'm 15, so I could just about get away with it now if I wanted to). Even though I'm done trick-or-treating, I'm not about to give up the fun and the thrill of the occasion. Last year's scavenger went pretty well, it was also the first Halloween scavenger hunt I've conducted (it involved going around town in cars with a list of riddle type "guidelines," and whoever could take the most creative picture somehow related to the guideline (and they could plead their case), would be awarded points). This year I'm planning to make it bigger and better, more riddle like, and at least a few of the riddles will have concrete correct answers this time around. Those will be harder, but will garner better rewards. biggrin

As far as religion, it's Samhain to me.

As far as religion goes, Halloween is a spiritually powerful day, when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is it's thinest. It's a day for celebrating the lives of loved ones who have passed away.
I'll be doing some meditating, maybe some tarot reading, and hopefully visiting the grave of at least one lost loved one, an acquaintance from high school who died right after we graduated.
I'd like to visit my grandparents graves, but they're too far away right now to do that. But I'll remember them in my own way here at home.
