ooo you guys trick or treated before halloween? up here in dc. we are trickortreating on halloween.
Over here in Wisconsin it's always the weekend before or on Halloween. I think they do that so it's safer and falls during a time when parents and families can take Sunday off to do the candy giving, too. But, yes, we did it before the 'Weenie time!
For the actual day I might go see 30 Days of Night...
oo I heard thats a good movie. I wish they did that here in DC have trickortreating the weekend before or of halloween instead of the middle of the week. I think thats a good idea.
odd that you go before halloween, here we got 31st lol
Can I ask what a Dianic Witch is?
It's a branch of Wicca/Witchcraft that is very feminist in its teachings and nature, honoring the Goddess Diana and the God Pan. Sometimes called Dianic Wicca. It's related and sometimes considered a branch of Italian Witchcraft, but even more Shamanic.
That sounds cool! My cousin has dabbled a bit in Wicca/Paganism, and I don't think she identifies with any particular "faith", she's very peace oriented, and I really have to admire anyone who doesn't conform to the "norms" society has set for us.
Well, it is a very disciplined tradition in Withcraft. Most people who "dabble" usually just end up Pagan (having an Earth-centered spirituality and not a religious practice). Good luck to her! Sounds like you both are very down-to-earth people! Those are my kind of folks.
I guess that kind of describes her....an Earth-centered spirituality. I'm sure that breaks her mother's heart though, being a "good Catholic" and all. My cousin has grown into such an amazing woman and I wish I could be a bit more carefree the way she is. I'm down to earth too, but in a different way I think.
Well, eventually the parental units do chill out about such things. My mother is a fundamentalist Christian, so you can imagine! The important thing is to let the parents know that you still respect and love them, that your choice of religion is not a rejection of them or of God, really. I think eventually people will continue to "make up" their own religions, again not in rejection of God, but in response to the fact that most religious institutions don't work for those who want to think and believe what they will. We shouldn't have to have some preacher or priest giving us mind control, you know? We're all different, therefore we should worship as a reflection of our diversity. Again, good luck to you guys. Keep your minds and hearts open!
I'm not sure if her parents have relaxed about it or not, but she gives them plenty of other things to worry about. So many people don't recognize the difference between religion and spirituality. I can safely say that I am not religious whatsoever. I do not need to belong to a recognized group, have a preacher brainwashing me (for lack of a better term), and I most certainly refuse to be told what is right and wrong. Life is not black and white! Thanks again V.

Cute pix! The werewolf in the tree is pretty funny. 
Thanks! I saw him climb all the way up there. He did it like a monkey. It was amazing. He's really up high and I don't know if I correctly captured that in the photo. I'm pretty short, so I was impressed. He'd just drop the candy packages from the tree. He even scared a few kids. It was great!
