I'm trying to get more into traditional Samhain. It's history and such. Halloween once had deeping meaning. It upsets me how some associate it with evil

I had to look Samhain up and I see what you are talking about. Very interesting history. It is amazing how holidays/traditions develop over the years and turn into something that is the exact opposite as the original meaning.

@LattesAndTypewriters I like the spookiness as well but I must admit that I am one of those people who did not know the origin of Halloween, with the exception of El Día de Muertos.
