During this time, the veil between the worlds of the living and dead are at its thinnest, allowing the spirits of the recently deceased to return for this night and walk the Earth one last time. The Pagans use this night to honor the dead (a sort of post-funeral acknowledgment) with libations of food and drink. We light candles to sit on our doorsteps and window sills to light their way in the dark. These practices are where trick-or-treating (candy for kids dressed as spirits) and jack-o-lanterns are from.
Well Anime you told it like it is. I respect you for that even though I do not agree with the practice. Night of the Hollowed Spirits I do think Mrs. LOVE could help you find you a nice witch to go out with Hey maybe Halloween night you could hook up and have a brew and talk about it.
