Acerca de esta escucha
This book is a collection of essays grouped into chapters, each offering insights into the step-by-step evolution of Halloween, starting right from its earliest historical origins. The book takes us on a journey through time, uncovering the various stages that led to the creation of the Halloween we know today. It all began with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-in), where the line between the world of the living and the realm of the departed grew hazy, allowing spirits to interact with the living.
The book takes us on an illuminating exploration of Halloween's development. It maps out the progression from its humble beginnings to its modern-day global celebration. The narrative shines a spotlight on the intriguing merger of Celtic customs with All Saints' Day, a Christian observance honoring saints and martyrs. This merging of traditions, coupled with the influence of Irish immigrants in the United States, played a pivotal role in shaping the holiday into what it is today.
Importantly, the book underscores the remarkable balance Halloween has struck between preserving its core traditions and adapting to diverse cultures. It vividly illustrates how the holiday has managed to stand the test of time while embracing a spectrum of customs from various corners of the world. Through this captivating evolution, Halloween has grown into a worldwide phenomenon cherished by people everywhere. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to hold onto its historical roots while also embracing the spirit of contemporary celebrations.
About the author: Dr. David K. Ewen's profound commitment to teaching the history of Halloween as an integral part of global studies at Enterprise College has illuminated the interconnected tapestry of cultures, fostering empathy and understanding among students. Through his engaging lectures, he leads students on a captivating journey that unveils not only the origins of Halloween, but also the intricate threads of cultural exchange. By encouraging international student interactions and sharing diverse Halloween experiences, Dr. Ewen transcends traditional teaching, creating an environment that nurtures global citizens and promotes harmony. His legacy underscores the transformative power of education in fostering empathy and unity, demonstrating how shared traditions can bridge divides and illuminate the path to a more interconnected world.

As seekers and practitioners reclaim and restore magic to its rightful place among powerful forces for social, personal, and political transformation, more people than ever are claiming the identity of "witch". But our knowledge of witchcraft and magic has been marred by erasure, sensationalism, and sterilization, the true stories of history's witches left untold. Through meditations, stories, and practices, authors Risa Dickens and Amy Torok offer an intersectional, contemporary lens for uncovering and reconnecting with feminist witch history.

The journey toward becoming a witch is admittedly a demanding one, but is quite interesting and fulfilling. This is why, you need to start on the right foot. Wicca is a rather broad occult religion that is full of mysteries. If you jump into it without enough information, you could find yourself waddling in it without a purpose or direction. If you are just about to start your Wiccan journey, you are lucky to encounter this book. If you have already started, it is not too late to set things right with the necessary guide steps.

The Wiccan religion became one of the most widely followed and popular religions in the mid twentieth century. A large portion of this credit is owed to Gerald Gardner, who associated this religion with witchcraft and attracted an enormous amount of followers. One of the main philosophies of the Wiccan nature is that everyone live in peace and harmony with nature, without any trouble.

With his trademark blend of storytelling, faith and psychological insight, New York Times best-selling author Thomas Moore turns his attention to the most enduring story of them all: the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. Moore uses passages from the Gospels, archetypal stories and ancient myths to explore the idea that Christmas can only be fully understood as belonging to everyone - as a plan for the entire human race. This may be the most profound reflection on the meaning of Christmas in a generation.

Jewish mysticism is a powerful study within the Jewish tradition. Rooted in antiquity and veiled in mystery until quite recently, Jewish mysticism has burst into the modern world in guises both illuminating and bewildering. Throughout Jewish history, flashes of the light held within sacred texts have sparked the sages' inquisitive minds throughout the diaspora. Rising out of the ashes of the temples once standing in Jerusalem, the texts and theologies associated with Jewish mysticism have comforted and ecstatically raise those who have used their knowledge.

Since 1980, depth psychologist Bill Plotkin has been guiding women and men into the wilderness - the redrock canyons and snow-crested mountains of the American West - but also into the wilds of the soul. He calls this work soulcraft. There's a great longing in all people to uncover the secrets and mysteries of our individual lives, to find the unique gift we were born to bring to our communities, and to experience our full membership in the more-than-human world.

Showed great promise but did not deliver
Overall, this was a disappointing book. It contained so much flowery language and repetition that one could have trimmed about half of the words away and not noticed anything missing from the text. The book started out strong, detailing the legends and lore of the Celtic festivals that became the holiday we know now as Halloween. Sadly, the book became a vividly repetitive description of Halloween to the present time, with no new concepts brought in to flesh out an already slim volume.
