I enjoyed reading this ! Like you, I’ve never understood nor enjoyed the spooky side of Halloween but love some of the older traditions that inspired it!
This was so interesting, Rachel, thank you! I really wasn’t aware of how the original traditions were focused on gathering to remember and celebrate our deceased loved ones. That’s quite beautiful x
Thank you, it was really interesting to research. I knew some of it but learnt a lot about how the traditions have evolved and been borrowed from elsewhere. Most so called pagan festivals are very beautiful which is one reason I want to counter how they are sometimes presented by others.

Thank you, yes we seem to have forgotten the real thing can be just as good.

Thank you for this amazing piece of writing. You have obviously done so much research into such a fascinating topic!
Thank you, I love doing research so had a good few hours disappearing down internet rabbit holes!
