Subject: Re: Halloween Chat......2016 by GRIS on 2016/10/31 13:55:52 SUNNY AND COOLER IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING. THE CHEROKEES ARE GETTING A LITTLE SPOOKY. GOT AN OUT OF CYCLE TRASH PICKUP SCHEDULED, BUT NOT TILL TOMORROW. THAT'S OK BECAUSE MY BACK IS NOT READY FOR ANY MORE ACTIVITY. THE CELTIC NEW YEAR IS HERE AGAIN. SAMHAIN STARTS AT SUNDOWN BY MOST ACCOUNTS. WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE OLD CELTIC RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS IS PRETTY EQUIVOCAL, AS THEY DIDN'T WRITE ANYTHING DOWN, RELYING INSTEAD ON THE TRAINED MEMORIES OF THE DRUIDS. IT'S PRETTY WELL AGREED THAT THEY THOUGHT THAT THE SPIRITS OF THE DEAD COULD RETURN TONIGHT, AS THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE SPIRIT WORLD AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD WAS BRIEFLY LIFTED. SOME THINK THAT ONLY THE SPIRITS OF THOSE THAT DIED IN THE PAST YEAR WERE ELIGIBLE. IN ANY EVENT AN UNOCCUPIED PLACE WAS SET AT THE TABLE FOR RETURNING KIN. GOT SOME "JUST IN CASE CANDY", BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD ANY TRICK OR TREATERS OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRY. |
