I ponder much on what the mainstream allows and promotes and why. Halloween is one such 'celebration' which has fear of the unknown and the undead at its heart, filled with people trying to school others that trick or treating is an ancient custom from the country I and my ancestors have inhabited since before medieval records. Samhain has nothing to do with the modern iteration but acts as a deflection, a way to steer people away from the historic and spiritual and powerful time on the wheel.
