Halloween is not only about putting on a costume, but it’s about finding the imagination and costume within ourselves. ~ Elvis Duran
I love this time of year, the heat of summer starts to break, the leaves start to change, there’s still enough daylight to enjoy long days outside. It’s also the time of year for two of my favorite holidays, that fall together Halloween and the Day of the Dead. In past years on the blog I’ve focused a lot of energy on the Day of the Dead, so this year I’m going to focus more on Halloween.
Halloween is a really spectacular holiday, from it’s history and Celtic celebrations of a night where they believed the veil between our world and the netherworld thinned, to our modern celebrations of trick or treating and merry making. Halloween, like all costume parties, have a tendency to be just a bit wilder than other parties, something about getting out of yourself and pretending to be someone else lets people let loose of their inhibitions more easily.
So I’ll be celebrating Halloween pretty heavily on the blog this year as it’s a holiday that makes me really happy. I’ve been doing posts on horror movies, I’m watching one a day this month and have already published my first of four posts on this, Happy Halloween Season – Part 1. And tonight I’ll be posting some photos that feel appropriate for this time of year, enjoy! ~ Rev Kane
