On a more religious/spiritual note, perhaps people could explore spiritual ideas in the pre Judeo/Christian era.
I get the feeling our Halloween/Samhain symbology and sentimentality are tied up in the Judaic concepts of demons, witches and fears. Perhaps an exploration of more ancient European spirituality and culture may offer an alternative framework for experiencing this time of year.
What an adorable idea! What about giving out stickers too? I loved stickers as a kiddo.
I have to confess though, I was a massive sugar addict as a kid. Do you remember those HUGE pixxie sticks filled with nothing but straight up flavored sugar? Talk about the crack cocaine of sugar. lol!
I was such a candy addict as a kid, I'd walk for blocks and blocks to collect bottles and cans just for a little penny candy. So, you can imagine that Halloween was my Utopian holiday. ROTFL! I'd be knocking on doors well past midnight...people would be like...huh? Then dump whatever rest of their Halloween candy they had left into my bag... I'd be like #WINNING...
I'd always throw away the apple some sweet old lady gave me...lol! She had the right idea but I want my candyyyyyyyyy.
Now I can't stand much sugar. Thank goodness. Sugar is so addictive and it's an inflammatory which can feed cancer and other diseases. It's unfortunate that we have so much sugar. Going low carb, even going on the Candida diet which is super strict can heal so many ailments. My mother started me out on sugar as a reward and for 'training' me. That's what started me on my sugar addiction.
I look at the obesity epidemic going on with children now and it just breaks my heart. I never got fat because I have a high metabolism...but I see these kids...eating all of the wrong things and the whole food pyramid thing got it so wrong and now that's what we're dealing with.
Good quality fats like cage free eggs and raw coconut oil...avocados, canned fish etc. feed a growing brain...going low carb...limited pasta and bread... Red potatoes are a super food but you lower their glycemic index by cooling them in the fridge after cooking them.
I also make raw milk kefir to keep my gut flora. Our guts have brains apparently, I actually don't doubt that all of our body parts have some form of memory and brain. When you hear of people who get organ transplants and remembering what the donor craved and they start craving it...it's downright spooky.
Sorry to be off topic. I bought some Ivermectin from India some time ago, but I've lost the contact details of the supplier. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I offer info on the many nutritional gifts of pumpkins and share some of my favorite recipes to enjoy the abundance (rather than carve them and let them rot on the doorstep).
Very cute idea! I love it.
I am going to be handing out a small compostable container of homemade organic play dough colored with natural dyes (turmeric, spirulina, etc).
I really love all the positivity in yr posts, Tess. This one is a super idea to hopefully begin to inspire a move toward goodness.
Thank you.
No problem with giving hand hearts.

Okay...I'll stop rambling. lol

Thank you for this!
I also created a post to offer alternative ideas to the wasteful sugar frenzy that is corporate Halloween in this post:

I am saddened by the tragedy of a nation that has embraced the death cult.
The death cult props filling the stores makes me want to turn around and walk out.
People are so ignorant, blind, careless and irresponsible!
Allowing and aiding children to participate in this satanic ritual is gross parental default.
Perhaps giving love not sugar is positive, if there is no other option.
Surely completely rejecting and avoiding such deadly dangerous practices, is preferable though.
Watch this most people were immune at the start, and immune memory is decades if not lifelong just like other viruses..
