Halloween....

[ElwoodBlues1]

Halloween is the Christianised takeover of the pagan Samhain festival and the pumpkin carving (originally turnips) and trick or treating have been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years.  Yes, it’s commercialised but what isn’t these days.

The only problem I have is that it’s the wrong time of the year to celebrate Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere.  We should be celebrating Beltane on 1 Nov and Samhain on 1 May.

As Thry says, it’s a bit of family fun and where’s the harm in that.

And, getting back to Townsend’s post, does anyone know someone who was influenced by an “influencer”?

Plenty of people get influenced, there called suckers and places like YouTube provide a steady income by allowing them to ply their BS.i know a kid who makes 300k a year, drives a Tesla, new home and gives financial advice on how to invest, he is a uni dropout with no qualifications who signs people up to his courses then provides BS info you can get for nothing on websites and he isn't the only one.
