Devils Night aka Bonfire Night/Samhain's The Festival Of The Dead aka Halloween

The smog consumes our estates, the youth wreck havoc with mischief. The autumn leaves play around our feet as we tread the pavement dressed up in the fanciest costume-trick or treat?

Fun is going on for all and maybe not for all. The elderly dred this time of year, some dred all the seasons. There is no batman, no Charles Bronson, no saviour to help keep us safe. There is history surrounding these events, folk law? myth? Who has proof? Who has proof there is no Santa? mom and dad? No. Think.

All backgrounds were birthed from substance, some not so solid, some invented by the ones who play with afraid. What witch cast her spell for the first ever person to turn the clocks back? Daylight saving..? how do we know that? what is daylight saving?

It is daylight stealing..for a higher purpose.

We lose loved ones through our lives, and I'd like to think that Jack o lantern pumpkins guide the unrest to the resting place, but every action has a reaction, black magic, and evil spirits have been known to resurface causing small mishaps throughout the year, yet we all send our children out dressed up?

Every year outs some to rest and frees others, like a prison key with no home. We make bonfires-why?

Mankind make the best of what they can, and it's good that we can enjoy these times as they are fun, and we need fun in our lives.

But for those of you out there unaware thinking I am talking silly..

give these two nights the respect they deserve, keep safe.

Because believe me..there's more at work out there than we all know.'

BlackBird has spoken...

'Morning has broken, Blackbird has spoken.'

-AND HALLOWEEN IS ON IT'S WAY TO THE CROW-

HALLOWEEN 2

'Rob Zombie has pulled it off again. This film is going to be another great creation. Michael Myers is now in 2009.'

TRICK OR TREAT...

'Scorpios and shadows may give you a fright, they're out to get you, you're probably right...black cats and goblins on Halloween night!'

BLACK SUMMER

The clocks go back as the nights draw in. The leaves fall at a steady pace, and berries grow on bushes for the animals. We wrap up warm in gloves and scarfs, hibernation is upon us. The shops sell masks, and some fire works will be heard. Little trick or treaters dress up in all their innocence, blinded by ignorant parents. It all feels like spooky 'fun'...

Halloween- 31st October is the festival of Samhain. The party of the dead. Old folk laws tell us that lanterns were left out to guide the good spirits home and jack o lanterns to scare away the evil spirits. I often wonder what sort of forces we continue to lead back home after all these years of 'fun?'
