It's Halloween... be careful out there

I suspect most naturalists would agree that Halloween is the most delicious of celebrations... and the most appropriate to the cause. At heart, Samhain, as the day and night is known throughout the Celtic world, is a harvest festival and a time when the hard boundary between the here and the hereafter is said to thin to mist, and spirits, both natural and unnatural, can roam the land and sky. You can, so believers declare, talk to the dead at this time, but haunts, aggrieved or simply in peevish moods, can also play tricks on the living, so you have to be careful. That might not be a crow... and that moon rising through the trees... well, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Say another incantation. Eat another Peppermint Patty. Watch your neck.
