A TRADITIONAL HALLOWEEN COOKERY

O n the last day of October, when the darkness of night drapes the sky like a shroud and the crisp air grows sweet with the aroma of fallen autumn leaves, magick and mystery abound. This is the night when the shadow realm beckons and the veil that separates the world of the living from the world of the dead grows most thin. The Great Wheel of the Year has once again completed its cycle, and the time of endings and beginnings has arrived. This is Halloween.

Known by many namesSamhain, Shadowfest, Old Hallowmas, All Hallows Eve, Festival of the Deadthis special night of the year is the most important of the eight annual Sabbats, which are holy days that revolve around seasonal transitions and agricultural observances celebrated by pagans and witches throughout the world. It is a time when the spirits of deceased loved ones and friends are honored, as well as a time to gaze into the world of things yet to come.

To the average person, the most common images associated with Halloween are monstrous and macabre. But it may surprise you to learn that to many modern-day witches and pagans, this jack-o-lantern-lit night is the most sacred night of the year and a time to momentarily put aside ones troubles and enjoy some good, old-fashioned pagan mirth and merriment.

If there ever were a Season of the Witch, it would have to be Halloween.

In the Middle Ages, Europeans believed that on Halloween witches took to the sky to celebrate their Sabbat until the rising of the sun. Hundreds of years later, modern witches and pagans still gather every October 31 to celebrate the holiday with rituals, chanting, song and dance, sacred bonfires, traditional pagan feasts, and various methods of divinationespecially those of an amatory nature.

For pagans the world over, Halloween is, among other things, a night of ancestors, a harvest festival, a time of magick and mirth, and a New Years Eve celebration. Halloweens roots are undeniably pagan; yet, Halloween and its celebration should not be restricted to witches and others who identify themselves as neo-pagans. Halloween is a festive holiday that can, and should, be enjoyed by all, regardless of age, cultural background, or religious point of view.
