I almost didn't use the steps picture because it was beautiful and upbeat rather than scary, but I thought descending stairs might be a great symbol for the netherworld.<br /><br />Jorge: "Better not be boring?" Haw! That brings back memories of earlier blog encounters. It also reminds me of the "Where's the beef" ad campaign.

It's all about superstition, fear, weirdness and the unknown.

Usually, when I think about the holiday, I keep thinking about all those trick-or-treaters begging for candy every year in silly, funny costumes, although I've known about its Pagan roots for years (apparently Christmas was originally a Pagan holiday as well. Did you know about that, Eddie?). I've never stopped to think about the real meaning of Halloween this year, and your post really has shed light on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-74184459628772928732010-10-26T15:12:17.871-07:002010-10-26T15:12:17.871-07:00"There's no structure in this post.
