Halloween (by G. Burgess)

May people criticise Halloween as being pagan and the name pagan initially had no negative connections whatsoever. 

The Romans called the country people pagi. Conflict with Christianity only arose when pagan religions of certain sorts were in competition.

Originally the pagi like the rest of us spent most of their time celebrating key aspects of life not worshipping them.

 We still do this as a natural healing energy. “What a lovely day “we say when the sun shines warm and the air is dry and still. We use it as an excuse to meet up and cherish the presence of those things and people we love. Most of the basic pleasures and this includes food and drink are not given a specific  sex or personality .

It is what  we do with basic meanings.

 HALLOWEEN.

Is H, which is the universal aspirant or breath.

A is to do with the perceived reality we create. It is a stable building which has a spire, but we rarely aspire, we stay lower down. A basic acknowledgement of any reality is AH.

 L hints at spiritual and emotional energies. Energies we do not have total control over. Energy that can if we are not careful take over. If I am not well I am ILL.

HELL is tricky but if we put a birthing O on the end we have a much better scenario.

The E is a shelving system and alludes to an ability to take in hold and give out energy and information.

HELLO two living opportunities as we meet and both say hello. Two opportunities to give, hold and take information and energy; four intense energies and two opportunities to give birth to something good.

 O is birthing .So if you want to eat more FOOD, be more emotional MOOD, be better GOOD.

 The letter W alludes to whatever follows is a bit unknown. It is at the beginning of who, what , why, when, which. If you shout WOW everyone looks round to see what is being born they do not know about .

The letter E is a shelving system and in the case of the massive haystacks once built at this time of the year a source of life for the forthcoming winter with its unknown dynamics. Two EE’s  hint at the ideally massive store.

 Of course no-one knows exactly what will happen and this is hinted at with the N which is all to do with testing assumptions.

 See how it appears in the sentence above where there is doubt.

 Of course no-one knows exactly what will happen and this is hinted at with the N.

which is all to do with testing assumptions.

 The classic proof is the word BEGINNING, so much unknown as yet.

 The Greek for the thrashing floor was HALOS and the ring at the top of the haystack that held the riggbands that stopped the hay blowing away was a HALO.

The halo was high above us, higher than A LOFT and the ring on the earth near to US the fleshy ones. The S alludes tour fleshy being, so to-be is IS in English; EST in French ESSTE in Spanish IST in German.

So “It’s Halloween” is a time when the whole community gathered to celebrate the successful harvesting and storing of the crop in a manner that would lead to fair sharing throughout the winter.

 The HALOS thing is quite interesting as it was the first place of importance and thousands of years after its inception the call to the dance inEuropewas O’Hal O’Hal and we still go to dance Halls and any special place of gathering may be called a Hall. The place you walk into after you have crossed your threshold at home is your hall.
