Because if you do your homework you'll know it's origins are far from evil. I'm not trying to start a debate, merely gauge an opinion or two.... Who knows Halloween originates from the Pagan festival of Samhain (Sow'ain), the original Pagan New Year? In ancient times, the end of the summer and warm days was marked as the end of the year, the start of the cold winter and hardship marked the new. The veil between this world and the other is said to be the thinnest now, hence Pagans use this time to pay homage to those whom have passed. Genuine Pagans and the religions it encompasses (Wiccan, Druidism, etc) have nothing to do with evil, this is our new year celebration and a chance to say goodbye to loved ones who have passed. Happy Halloween to you all and Bright blessings :) PS: I'll get off my soapbox now LOL :-D
