Since Halloween is nearly a week away...

How many people actually believe in the superstitions that go along with it?

Ha...Hallowin? What does that word mean?

[seals_fate]

I think it's meant to be short for Hallow's eve. I don't know if the word itself actually means anything.

[of_wild_clay]

What is Hallow's Eve?

[seals_fate]

From the time i'm from it's a day for scaring people and getting sweets.

[shockinglycool]

There are superstitions?

[seals_fate]

Mm. With candles.

[shockinglycool]

Really?

[seals_fate]

Yeah. Like starting new candles and then never using them again.

Do you mean the original myths? If I remember right, it used to be two more serious holidays...

[seals_fate]

...It used to be two holidays?

[mizu_isei]

If I remember right? Samhain is one of them... I don't remember the name of the other.

[seals_fate]

Samhain?

[pissedkitty]

Halloween?

[seals_fate]

Halloween.

[pissedkitty]

...What's Halloween?

[seals_fate]

It's when people dress-up as things and go trick-or-treating. At least that's what most people know it as.

[allmoveone]

And what superstitions would those be?

[seals_fate]

I was thinking of the ones with candles like, burning one on Halloween and then never burning it again.

[allmoveone]

Well. I presume they're superstitions for a reason, yes? There's nothing that anyone believes in that emerged with no cause, be it lie or truth~♪

[seals_fate]

I guess so, it doesn't mean that people still believe in them now though.
