Halloween

My apology for the tardiness of the post, but the munchkins were transversing my door way and eliciting candy.
I had a marvelous thought whilst waiting eagerly to post a tribute to Halloween.
First off: a happy all hallows eve. All hallows day is when all the saints are commemorated and in some traditions visit the realm of the living. Some even practice devils day which is the day before Halloween and although people cause mischief on this day, it is believed demons and devils, not the dead come to world of the living to visit it.
The celebration of Halloween, and similar types of commemoration of the dead return to this world, spans various religion.
A common belief is that these days mark the time when the two worlds are close to each other and the dead return to the realm of the living for the duration of the day.
All hallows eve was usurped from the Celts by catholic practitioners who commemorated this ancient festival culturally and its consequential incorporation into the colander customs was second nature. On this day it is believed the dead return to this world from Hades, they hunger for food because in Hades they feel the amplification of all the desires they selfishly satisfied at the expense of the other while living. It is believed leaving candy or treats outside ones door in dishes allows the spirits to eat and not do tricks or nasty things to the household, thus the treats appease the spirits and dead roaming the land of the living. Children started taking the treats and dressing themselves like the ghosts who were believed to tradition eat the treats (the word ghost comes from the German word giest or spirit). The children ate the candy for the spirits and some believed this was part of necessary ceremony to appease the spirits of the dead. In eastern rite Christianity one of the minor Sabbath of souls is commemorated the Sabbath before the end of October and is usurped from the same Celtic practice of Halloween. In these celebrations people give fruit and eat for the dead to appease their hungry spirits in the same way it is believed children do for Halloween.
How did these celebrations begin?
The key to unraveling the beginning of these beliefs lies in the great Sabbath of souls believed to occur on the first Sabbath after the 40 days that follow Easter Sunday. On that day it is believed Christ rose into heaven with those he was able to enlighten in Hades.
The celebration of Halloween is an ancient celebration of a resurrection in which someone brought the dead back from purgatory on this day. It was an ancient belief where the description of this event included description of worlds one traveled to gather those being enlightened. “ it was as if the two worlds collided or were that close to eat other” the idea of candy might represent an ancient description of the brain candy the enlightener used to achieve the transcendence, the ideas represented as food he had to feed the dead to resurrect them without fooling or being fooled by them.
So all hallows eve would be a commemoration of someone’s descent into purgatory and his release of the dead based on an enlightenment that brought then to higher level plains and back here again.” The dead returned this day” was interpreted as a year visit by the dead on this day. People associated a lot of superstition to the ideas of celebrating this day, including associating bad luck (which I do not believe in) on this day to tricks caused by the spirits because people were not able to feed the dead the same things the enlightener did, so the memory of the story of feeding ideas turned into the feeding of the dead foods and treats to avoid their trickery.
The story was so ancient it took the shape of the tales we have now. Remember these tales now shape the reality of the universe and created structures and ways to access God(s) and the way worlds of purgatory and the dead interact with the real world.

Enjoy the night till tomorrow.
