Free Hugs Campaign

By sweet_one4now on October 28th, 2006 Posted in Miscellaneous, Things that Awe Me

Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. He got banned from his hometown so he started a petition that reached ten thousand signatures. He inspires me and now I want to run out and hug someone. Now I just need to get a camera and some paper and some markers. HEHE. He has the right idea. Hug someone and it will do them good and you too. I look forward to being able to do this. And I hope many others will too.

Halloween is Pagan

By sweet_one4now on October 4th, 2006 Posted in Disturbing, Holidays, Miscellaneous, Rants, Religion

According to Wikipedia Halloween is this:

Halloween (IPA pronunciation: [hælÉ™’win], [hælo’win]) is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets. It is celebrated in much of the Western world, though most common in the United States, Puerto Rico, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, and with increasing popularity in Australia and New Zealand. Halloween originated in Ireland as the pagan Celtic harvest festival, Samhain. Irish, Scots and other immigrants brought older versions of the tradition to North America in the 19th century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

The term Halloween, and its older spelling Hallowe’en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening before “All Hallows’ Day” (also known as “All Saints’ Day”). In Ireland, the name was All Hallows’ Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldomly used today, it is still a well accepted label. Halloween was also sometimes called All Saints’ Eve. The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, until it was appropriated by Christian missionaries and given a Christian interpretation. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the púca, a mischievous spirit. In Australia it is sometimes referred to as “mischief night”, by locals.

Halloween is sometimes associated with the occult. Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when the spiritual world can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches).

Here is the symbolism of the colors that are related to Halloween:

COLOR ASSOCIATIONS
Color Symbolism
Black death, night, witches, black cats, bats, vampires
Orange pumpkins, jack o’ lanterns, Autumn
Purple night, the supernatural, mysticism
Green goblins, monsters
Red blood, evil

Makes one think why we even celebrate the holidays at all?
