I am some disappointed. Here it is the day before Halloween and after
searching the online TV guide for Halloween movies I came up with nothing
except a Michael Myers marathon – and that sux.
As I have
stated on other blogs I don’t believe in ghost and goblins and things that go
bump in the night; but I love Halloween and movies of monsters and witches and things
that represent this season.
Actually, my
wife and I celebrate Halloween.
Halloween for us evolved from the times of witchcraft: maidens, mothers
and crones – a time when wise women practiced medicine with herbs and spells
and offered hope to people in special need.
Witches, if
you will, were uniquely in touch with the cycles of nature, as only women can
be. Men and religions over the centuries
have suppressed these connections, until today girls and women and crones do
not even realize the power they possess – they do not celebrate their
nature.
Halloween is
their time, a time of witches, a time of women – It is the quintessential
holiday for women. A time for women to
celebrate all stages of their life and renew their connections with Mother
Nature.
