Halloween - Origins and History

While waiting for my number to be called inside the bank yesterday, I asked Peter about the origins of Halloween, like how come Christians are so against it (I was baptized a born again Christian when I was in College, but I'm not active anymore. I do believe in God though, that higher power that transcends all and that which I cannot explain), and how come I am enjoying it so much whether I spend it alone or with the company of other like-minded individuals.

Anyway, what Peter said made such an impact, to me, as a baby Wiccan, at least. From what I remember, here are the things he said:

Dream Interpretation - Nuclear Bomb

If you're at my age, you've probably seen that Twilight Zone episode with the nuclear bomb. I was just a kid then but of all the Twilight Zone shows, that was the one that really made an impact. In that episode, the world was about to end. A nuclear bomb was seen by millions of people soaring in the sky, about to hit its target. But there was this girl who has a vintage pocket watch that can stop time. So she did. And everything stopped. The nuclear bomb stopped mid air; all the people and all living things around the world just simply stopped except for her. She was all alone, she need not work, she can just go from one house or store or place to the next and grab and loot stuff and no one would care because everything was on PAUSE except her. That episode was sad for me. Yeah, she stopped the world from going into flames but at the price of living a life.

Time for Halloween - 6 of Cups

Gosh, it's been so long since I last posted here. Offline, I've been quite regular with my tarot readings, meditations as well as dream interpretations though and I think that's more important. I've also started getting more serious with Feng Shui and I'll be sharing some of my thoughts about it here soon. The rest of my time has been spent doing productive stuff at work and lately, preparing for Halloween, my favorite time of the year! In fact, not only have I been reminiscing past Halloween celebrations through my facebook page, but my hubby and I have also been decorating the house, not just for a small party we're having this weekend, but mostly because we want to feel and enjoy the season even when we're just at home, just the two of us, most of the time.

The most recent daily tarot card I drew, 6 OF CUPS agree with my sentiments.
