What’s behind the mask? Halloween from a different perspective

For weeks now, storefronts have been decorated with jack o’lanterns, skeletons, witches and goblins. Ripe pumpkins and gourds are seen everywhere at the market. Summer is over and winter is just around the corner. Halloween is here. For others, Samhain (pronounced “SOW-in”) is the celebration of summer’s end. For those who practice the ancient traditions of Wicca (Witchcraft), this Celtic-based holiday is one of solemn beauty.
