Halloween: People
built 630 days ago
Just in time for Halloween comes Voltage, a "self-illuminating hair gel" that promises to light up your head like a glow stick. Available in four colors, the $10.95 tub of goo (enough for "several people") doesn't actually change the color of your hair, but rather coats your mane with its phosphorescent self. Once activated, the glow lasts for 6-8 hours. The company promises that Voltage is safe and non-toxic. more

Halloween practices open the door to the occult and can introduce forces into people’s lives that they do not understand and often cannot combat. . . (Parker, Russ. Battling the Occult, p. 35)

Halloween was seen as being the time when the division between the world of the living and the otherworld was blurred. Many of the traditional customs derive from ancient divination practices and ways of trying to predict the future. By the 18th century, most of the customs were methods for young people to search for their future husbands or wives. As Samhainn was originally a harvest festival, many of these strange practices are connected with food or the harvest and fertility. One old custom associated with the Western Isles was to put two large nuts in the hearth of a peat fire. These were supposed to represent yourself and your intended spouse.
