#Halloween Rituals

Halloween is usually associated with carved pumpkins and occults. Think of it when it was actually started to keep the supernatural powers at bay. The members of the family and community used to stay awake and lit a fire to keep the ghosts away.

Now the younger generation is misguiding the rituals of Halloween for their own selfish interests. Spanning from the land of the dollar, the USA, to the serene land of Ireland, black magic is performed during the Halloween to harm people.

• Voodoo Power

If you posses some feelings of hatred for a nasty colleague or your promiscuous boss, believers of voodoo magic in the US make the most of the Halloween. Prior to the Halloween day, they will make voodoo dolls in the name of the people whom they hate or dislike.

The idea is to place the voodoo dolls in a circle of fire and then punish them by piercing needles. This tradition was started by the Celts who believed that the voodoo dolls would keep their enemies at bay. In the present scenario, young people in the corporate sector have said to use voodoo dolls to settle their scores.

• Black Magic

In the ancient times in Ireland, witch hunting was considered auspicious on the occasion of Halloween. Old wives in the haunted tows of Ireland still practice it as a ritual to be performed during the Halloween season. Housewives and desperate and dumped companions often pay a hefty amount to seek revenge on their partners. They gave away some of their partners belonging like clothes and hair to perform the magic. A pot is placed over a fire with the occults being pronounced loudly in the name of the person to be hunted. Many jilted lovers also perform this act as a desperate measure to get back their partners.

• Magic Potion

In England, a popular way of taming animals and even people by magic is through the food. A magic potion is mixed in the food to be consumed by the person concerned to tame him. The idea is to mould the person concerned in their own favor. Usually, this is a popular tactics in the offices and even the royal household in England is not spared. Cults are spread and witches often mix the magical potion to tame the person in their favor and sometimes, to behave and act in a self destructive manner.

Let There Be A Positive Aura

Although there is so much violence and gory bloodshed is spread in the world, people want more. Let the occasion of Halloween be a symbol of positivity instead of gory. If we go back to the 5th century, Halloween was celebrated in Ireland in order to keep away bad spirits. Is it not better to follow nature's way rather than get diverted.

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and change the meaning of Halloween. The future is in your hands.
