Lucky me! I have the wonderful Tena Stetler stepping in today with her thoughts on Halloween and a look at her new novel, A Demon's Witch!
Fear of Halloween?
Do you have a fear of
Halloween? Then you suffer from
Samhainopobia. I don't fit in that category! Do you?
My point is that Halloween isn’t
just for kids, anymore. Today Halloween is attracting adults in a masquerade
type atmosphere, much like Mardi Gras. Their costumed antics mock, challenge
and tease the mysterious, possible malevolent forces of the night. The
otherworld becomes our world on this night of enchanted possibilities and
transcendence. Are we reaffirming death as a part of life in an exhilarating
celebration of magic for an evening? Or like me, just enjoying the air of
celebration on a night the veil between the living and dead is purported to be
the thinnest. Every year with the help of my hubby, I decorate our house to the
hilt on the first day of October and revel in Halloween décor the entire month.
Did you know Jack-O-Lanterns
originated in Ireland? People placed lit candles inside hollowed out turnips to
keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween) holiday.
Boy, did we do a role reversal on
that aspect of Halloween. Instead of chasing the spirits away, we tend to
invite them in.
Well, if you’ll excuse me, it’s
time to don my vampire costume, custom fitted fangs and pull up a stool in the
shadows of my front door, candy bowl on a stand beside me. I sneakily turn on
the fog machine and out of the mist greet the little trick or treaters or scare
the bejeebers out of the older ones with bats hanging over head and screeching
on my command.
Won’t you join me? Happy
Halloween!
Looking for a fun Halloween Read? A
Witch's Journey is chocked full of meddling ghosts, shapeshifters, sexy witch,
a ruggedly-handsome Navy SEAL. An exciting story of redemption, wildlife rescue
and Halloween festivals. What more could you ask for?
