It’s October and Halloween is back again. It’s no secret that Halloween has long been a controversial celebration in Australia. However, with each generation Halloween is growing in popularity. Maybe we should just go with – “If you can’t beat them, join them!”
Halloween has been around forever, literally!
HALLOWEEN has its roots in a pagan festival of the dead (Samhain).
Celebrations were called for in order to pay respect and also ward off vengeful souls. A mass festivity was put in place that became a lot of fun, bonfires were lit and scary, spooky costumes were worn to ward off roaming ghosts.
In the 18th century, Pope Gregory III, claimed November 1 as a time to honour all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, and in-cooperated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before known as All Hallow’Eve was later abbreviated to HALLOWEEN, meaning Holy.
Over time, Halloween evolved into what we know today. Much in the same manner as Pope Gregory III, Americans, as a consumer society, converted this ancient holiday into something profitable.
It’s true to say that the manner in which we celebrate Halloween today was borrowed from American TV shows, movies and pop-culture, but in essence this holiday has been celebrated worldwide for centuries.
The religious and spiritual roots of the holiday are preserved, in some form, in various countries around the world.
In Mexico and Spain, Halloween is known as ‘Los Dias de los Muertos’ (the day of the dead) a day they honour their loved departed by remembering them through a recount of their past lives.
In Sweden,” Alla Helgons dag” is celebrated between October 31 and November 6 with choirs and the lighting of candles at the graves of loved ones.
The Buddhists light up large paper boats, named ‘boats of law’, and symbolically free the souls who died by accident or were never buried to help them ascend to heaven by lightening fires.
More people in more countries than ever before celebrate Halloween today in the same manner as the Americans. Why is it so popular? There’s a simple reason: it is fun! Halloween has become a global tradition. Just like Christmas, which has become more about Santa Claus and presents over hundred of years of mixing and matching beliefs and traditions, Halloween has become a mash of traditions put all in one. How we choose to celebrate any holiday is really up to us; we could keep true to its origins or follow someone else’s interpretation or better yet get our own going!
Celebrate Halloween in your bedroom:
This year let’s throw all biases out of the window and have fun. Why not give it a go and celebrate it our own way? Australians are known around the world to be the life of the party. In the good Aussie spirit, let’s take this opportunity and celebrate.
It would be a shame anyway to pass on an occasion built around pranks, imagination and dress-ups. It could be a lot of fun.
There are many other ways to celebrate Halloween beyond the trick-or-treating.
One option is to host parties or have a private party in your own bedroom.
If you’ve always wanted to give role-playing a try, Halloween just might be the perfect day. Use your imagination on Halloween and do some role play with a bit of a twist catered for the night, role plays that haven’t been done to death.
