ORIGIN
Continued from Page 7B
the Druids built massive bonfires
on the hilltops ol Europe They
danced and sang around the
(ires in grotesque masks dashing
frantically through the flames to
hide from evil spirits
The intense frenzy increased
as the night wore on and reports
of mysterious disappearances
and unexplained happening filled
Hallow's Eve with ever more
fear
The bonfires were not always
enough to save these ancient
tubes from the hands of evil For
high above the full harvest moon
lurked vicious witches who
swooped down on their broom
sticks to collect unsuspecting
victims for the Lord o! Death
The witches '.old their prey to
the Lord of Death who devoured
their entrails and made their
bones into bagpipes
The ancient observance of
Halloween also presented anoth
er element of dread Druid
priests had the power to foretell
events of the coming year But
these fortunes could have dead
ly results
The priests carefully cut am
mals open and from its entrails
could read the future of the own
er, If the bleeding animals did
not live through the night howev
er, the owner would not live to
see the next Hallow's Eve
It is easy to understand
where the spirit of Halloween
contracted its spooky supernatu
ral elements Vet our modern
Halloween is certainly much
more calming on the nerves
