Samhain Fun and Forgiveness
'Witches' and Cats Pardoned in Ceremony A day late for Halloween, but never mind. It is strange to think that the South East of Scotland was a centre of terror and pogroms, with up to 4000 innocent people executed for 'witchcraft'. Puritanism had its progressive side, it also had a side of grim zealotry and murderous excess.
We had 3 sets of guisers round last night (I refuse to call them 'trick of treaters'). As I was leaving the house I heard two groups trade stories "We got cakes from one house" says one group. "What? We only got lollipops. Fucking lollipops" says the other. Aw, bless.
