I always thought it odd that Samhain was hijacked by both Christianity (with Halloween) and British politics in relation to religion (with Bonfire Night).

It used to be such a harmless celebration of the death of the sun and the end of the harvest, Goddess Bless America for reminding us of the fun aspects of the season and helping us Brits move away from the distasteful "Burn A Catholic Night" aspects of the celebration.

Living in central Scotland where sectarianism is still an uncomfortable reality I wish people would forget the fifth of November and have a jolly good time dressing up and burning things at the end of October instead.

Now where did I put that Silver Shamrock mask?
