here for more info.My entry to the Trick or Treat Halloween contest by @hivebuzz. Check
Halloween is one of my favorite celebrations. My birthday is November 1 the next day after Halloween and I was teased about not being brought by a stork but by the witches.
It was a rare blue full Hunter’s moon then as will be this Halloween, Oct 31, 2020. A blue moon means this is the second full moon in the same month. It will make for an extra spooky Halloween night where anything could happen.🎃
The ancient Celtics believed Halloween or All Hallows’ Eve the only day in the year where the barriers between the physical and the spiritual world can be dissolved.
Our current Halloween is derived from their pagan festival called Samhain. Now known as All Souls Day in some religions.
The guardian protecting the portal to the spiritual world steps aside on All Hallows’ Eve and allows for many spirits to come through into our physical world and visit their previous loved ones or play a prank on others. Even animals who passed on may make an appearance this one evening.
All the roaming spirits must return by midnight October 31 but in the meantime, be afraid, be very afraid. some spirits are naughty and like to cause terror.👺
A wood fire I photographed and edited to show different spirits coming through.
My custom is on Halloween (All Hallows’ Eve), I lit a candle and leave it burning in the window in honor of the dead and welcome any deceased loved one who would like to visit.
In ancient times it was a custom to leave lit candles along driveways and in windows in hopes a deceased loved one would visit from the invisible world.
If you have a spooky unknown visitor on Halloween be careful, be very careful as the spirit may not be friendly.....
The magic word abracadabra will protect you and must be uttered three times as you draw a protective circle around yourself and throw salt over your shoulder.🙃 🎃👻
To believe or not to believe....

Hello Friend! I loved your story, in my country Halloween is not celebrated, but I have always loved everything related to this holiday. I had fun and scared all the coincidences between your birthday and the blue moon, it looks like a movie, hahaha. Cheers!
The first of November is a Holiday here and now I know the real reason for that 😉
Interesting post about Halloween, Jo, I hope that I will remember the word abracadabra when I'm out to shoot the full moon tonight and meet someone or something else 🎃
I wish you a great day, Happy Halloween and good luck in the contest 👍☺️
Cheers and !BEER

Nov 1 is not a national holiday ( except I celebrate it as such haha) here but is known as All Saints’ Day by Catholics and some other religions. Traditionally in some countries it was a day to visit the graves of deceased relatives and perhaps say a prayer or leave flowers.
Have a wonderful spooky night shooting the full moon dear Hannes and remember the magic word if something goes bump in the night! 😆🎃👻

It's called All Saints Day here too and it's a national holiday for all 😀
The next day is All Souls Day and only half a holiday, what means I can go home at midday, but I take the hours before 12 off too and don't need to go to work 😁
Last night I met two deer which crossed the road, a fox sat on the roadside and a hedgehog sat in the middle of the road. In my way back home I saw the same fox again.
So, I have seen almost every wild animal we have here and for tonight there are only ghosts left 👻 ... abracadabra 🎃
Cheers and !BEER

A lot of wildlife coming out to greet you Hannes. 😊
Hopefully the sky was clear last night and you were able to capture the full blue moon in photos.
Peaceful here this morning. I guess the ghosts and goblins returned through the veil.👻
Did you need to use abracadabra last evening dear Hannes? 😀🤗
Hi Jo,
haha, but none tried to jump on my car apart from the hedgehog, but it was too small, so it decided to better run back into the grass 😂
Yes, it was clear and I didn't hear the alarm clock at 3am. My wife asked me at 4:30 if I stay at home 😁
It was much to late for the photo I wanted to take and so I just drove to a little lake, but I am not satisfied with the photos I took there. I will have a look at them later and try the other shot tomorrow morning.
I have met only one ghost 👻, but I forgot to say abracadabra and said good morning instead. The ghost came closer and said good morning too - it was another photographer 😉
Today is overcast and we are on the way to visit the grave of my wifes parents.
Have a nice Sunday dear Jo 🤗🌞
Cheers and !BEER

I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid night and a happy start to the weekHello dear friend @redheadpei good night
Thanks so much dear friend @jlufer for your kind comments on my Halloween post.
Have a great week!😊
Lots of strange things do happen on halloween around the world, we awoke to a distant boom of something sounding like it blew up, our carbon detector went off cause it needed a new battery, the sounds, and reminders of the past are already here.
A scary start to Halloween hearing a lot bang Bashadow. Halloween spirits communicate by knocking sometimes. :) 🎃
I have heard that some spirits do like to make a pomp and circumstance entry. Heck if I was a spirit I'd want people to know I was there.
👍😀
