As a practicing Wiccan I observe Samhain/Halloween as a most sacred
holiday of the year. We have a marvelous time that is both serious and
festive. At our home we have all kinds of decor dealing with the holiday
One year I gave out pamphlets on The Wiccan Religion and there were over
300 takers along with the appropriate candy.
It is a great time to educate those who want to know more.
