i worry we are losing touch with the True Meaning Of Halloween (avoiding the fairies)
celebrate a good old-fashioned Halloween with the very important traditions of:
- lighting candles in jack o'lanterns (to keep away the fairies)
- roasting s'mores on bonfires (to keep away the fairies)
- bobbing for apples, fortunetelling, ouija boards, and other assorted divination rituals (to forewarn those doomed to be kidnapped by fairies)
- haunted houses (to preach against the dangers that lurk across the veil in the otherworld, home of the fairies)
- community effort to stuff kids full of candy (that if whisked away (by the fairies) they might resist the temptation (of strange fae foods) long enough to escape)
- disguising your face and identity in elaborate costumes (to keep away the FUCKING FAIRIES)
ways NOT to celebrate Halloween: sneaking into graveyards aka the modern day successor of burial mounds aka portals to the otherworld aka home of the FUCKING FAIRIES
