Happy Samhain

Happy Samhain and Halloween!


For all of those who were hoping to go out door to door this year in lower New England, sorry to hear that Halloween is postponed. Not really sure how to do that since the 31st is the only true night when the barrier is thinnest between our world and the other.


How did orange and black become the colors of Samhain? The orange represents the colors of harvest and black, the other side.





It wasn't always a good thing to be a witch.


During the Dark Times, many were accused of being witches and suffered for it. Fortunately if you were a witch you were smart and crafty enough not to get caught.So many innocent folks were drowned, burned and stoned to death. Then in New England the times caught up with the Puritans who it turned out were far from pure.
