Costumes
It’s that time of year, where we don foreign, frightening, and faux attire to scare, please, or entice.

These exotic exteriors can be playful or inspiring and may require multitudes of fashioning and creativity.

Will you be a predictable and familiar character, or will you be scorching skid marks and heading for faraway territories?

Throughout the ages man has enjoyed dabbling with costumes both for himself and his home, which can be dressed accordingly for holidays too.

On Halloween, homesteads are transformed into witch’s lairs, goblin’s quarters, and pumpkin factories completed with spooktacular eerie light features and ghoulish specters.

Halloween is a time for fun, and even vegetables are transformed to boost the mood and slant toward a decorative theme, enter the versatile and mandatory pumpkin who is the hallmark of autumn.

Costumes can relay details of a character’s personality, or be historical, but centuries ago in front of a blazing bonfire their purpose was to keep malevolent spirits at bay on All Hallows' Eve, which touted a thinning of the veil between the two worlds and a blurring of logical and logistical reality.

This prepared the way for the holy days that followed, ushering in a time to connect within, and commune with the Lord.

With so much emphasis and energy exported on the external shenanigans, the true nature of this day has become obscured and demoted to frolic and fanfare.

Protecting the precious Soul, which was bestowed by God and is the internal basis for all life, was the reason for the costumes.

Drape yourself in a fancy frock, but remember: the holiest regalia is concealed within as a Child of God. Wear it proudly, display it to all. Happy Halloween!! May your Soul be protected and dance with de-Light!!
