When everyone seems to take down the Halloween decorations, and preps for "the next big holiday" that commercialism has hypnotized them to get excited for, I'm just getting started for "Spooky Season." Back in the old days, Spooky season didn't end with Halloween, it was called Samhain, and it started on or around the last day of October, sometimes in the first week of November and lasted all the way into the first day of Feb. In the northern hemisphere, it didn't revolve around just one day, and it sure in hells didn't start on the first day of September. It was a acknowledgement of the dark portion of the year, and of the seasons. Back then, people weren't so comfortable to start celebrating fall in summer, their lives depended on them knowing the seasons, and preparing accordingly. When farmers would pull in their livestock that hadn't been culled, and the waning light gave way to legends and superstition. The woods were alive at night even in the dead of winter, with tales of ghosts and other horrors the mind could conceive. We have as a society grown so out of touch with the world, we celebrate fall in summer, and winter in fall. It is a mental sickness, and it started and is perpetuated from commercialism pure and simple. When most are taking down their Halloween decorations the first day of November, what they fail to understand is "The Season" just started...
