Spooks, Specters & Spirits Event - Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween week and the best week of the year! The veil is thinning - can you feel it?
Halloween or Samhain is an important time of year. It is when we honor the dead and those who came before. Yes, it has been commercialized, but we still hold on to some of the traditions. Carved pumpkins are used to keep malevolent spirits away.  Traditionally they were turnips, but pumpkins have become more widely used. 
We dress in costumes to hide ourselves from evil spirits too. The idea being it makes it safer for us to walk among them and avoid being noticed. 
If you want to celebrate those who have passed, you can light candles and set a place for them at the table. Some people visit local cemeteries to bring offerings to the dead. 
While Halloween is a fun night for many where they get candy and dress up, it is important to remember those who came before. 

Have a safe and fun Halloween.
