Tricks, Treats, Turnip Souls, & Penguins

Halloween, no matter its origin, is a tradition involving visits from the departed. Some are wandering, others just visiting for a while, but many are taking advantage of one last chance to gain

vengeance on their enemies before moving to the next world… yikes! That explains why everybody dresses up, they don’t want to be recognized by all the vengeance seeking souls flying around (I’m totally regretting my choice to put this post together instead of a costume at the moment…). The symbols of Halloween have never completely made sense to me, like what are lighted pumpkins with weird faces carved in them all about? Turns out they represent souls in purgatory. Disturbing. They used to be turnips but when the Halloween tradition moved to America they became pumpkins. Personally, I like the idea of a turnip soul in purgatory. Let’s bring it back! Who’s with me… never mind. And what does “trick or treat” mean? As a kid I thought it meant the homeowner had that choice to give you a trick or a treat and was anxious at each new house thinking for sure this would be the first one to opt for a trick. Turns out the trick part is a (mostly idle) threat! A more accurate interpretation might be “give me a treat or I’ll give you a trick”, enter burning bags of feces, toilet paper, yard sporking, etc.

With all this hullabaloo about ghosts and souls and those who have passed before us a hidden cemetery seemed like a good place to find some Halloween photographs. Fully expecting to have to hide fear and jumpiness from my adventure companions I found no need to bury fright, the cemetery was incredibly peaceful at night. In all honesty it might have been a little scary deep in the dark woods, but then out came a penguin, a duck, a rainbow, a hungry caterpillar, and many more incredibly welcoming friends. Somebody had painted stones with these fun, welcoming characters and left them on the grave markers. The tradition of leaving stones at a grave site seems to have many symbolic meanings, but the most common is a sign of respect for the dead to let others know the grave had been visited, suggesting the continuing presence of love and memory which are as strong and enduring as a rock. That’s nice. Now for that costume…
