Halloween a Festival of Lost Meanings - Paperback

by Alvin Boyd Kuhn (Author)

Kuhn, the author of the popular New Lectures on the Ancient Wisdom series, offers up an essay on the origins of Halloween and its traditions such as the candle in the pumpkin, broomstick riding witches, apple in a tub of water and the wearing of masks. He searches to find a meaning behind Halloween that goes beyond the sheer fun and deviltry of it as it has been practiced in the past and present.
