GoErie.com: ‘Witch’ doesn’t mean ‘evil’
GoErie.com: ‘Witch’ doesn’t mean ‘evil’: “It’s that time of the year again. Pumpkins and mums are appearing at roadside stands, bags of candy are going on sale at the stores, and people who do not know any better will once again confuse the most sacred holiday in the pagan year with a Hollywood-style, supernatural horror fest.
I will be the first to admit that pagans love a party, and we are gleeful pumpkin carvers, candy givers (and consumers) and horror movie watchers. But when it actually comes to celebrating Samhain (pronounced sow wen), it is for us an opportunity to contemplate the passing of the harvest time and the coming of winter, as well as to honor our ancestors.”
