【万圣节象征】
【Black Cats黑猫】
OK, so while Halloween started out to be about the end of harvest, etc., there are some ancient cultures who also believed that, on Halloween night, the veil between the living world and the spirit world was, if not lifted entirely, at least a little thinner.
Ancient Celtic religions taught that cats were reincarnated souls of humans, and that they were able to see the future.? Also, it was thought (as mentioned earlier) that witches could turn into cats.
Truth be told, most single ladies were thought to be witches, and, just like today, many of the single ladies had?cats.? So, in the 1600’s or so, the local cat lady would have probably been tried for witchcraft.
【Skeletons骷髅】
The Druids and the Celts believed that the skull was the “psychic seat” of the human soul.? All in all, skulls and skeletons are associated with Halloween because they represent the end of the physical part of life, something that is connected to Halloween both because of the death of the “light” seasons and because of the perceived connection to the spirit realm.
【Ghosts鬼怪】
The idea of ghost plays into this idea that Halloween night is the one night that the spirits of the ancestors are able to walk among the living.?
【Masks and Costumes面具和服饰】
Speaking of ghosts, what is Halloween without costumes?? Back in Celtic times, it was thought that if you could trick the spirit, the spirit would refrain from bothering you about pesky things like tributes and respect.
On a night that the “veil” between the spirit world and the natural world was so thin, it’s best to pretend to be someone else.? In the 1950’s, trick-or treating became all the rage in the United States (can you believe it was that late?)
【Pumpkin lanterns南瓜灯】
Originally, the beggars put candles inside them to light their way from house to house to beg and pray.? Eventually, the tradition changed to carving pumpkins, and Jack-o-Lanterns as we know them were born.? One legend sticks out above all others in regards to the Jack-o-lantern tradition.
An Irishman named “Stingy Jack” was a?drunk?and a prankster, and he managed to make both God and the Devil angry.? He died, and neither heaven nor hell wanted him, so he was stuck wandering around on earth.
He carried a turnip, hollowed out, with a candle inside, to light his way, and to keep him from knocking on their door, the Irish would carve scary jack-o-lanterns to put around their houses to keep him away.? Or, so they believed, and a tradition was born.
【Witches巫婆】
What’s the go-to Halloween costume for most little girls?? Oh right – some Disney princess.? What?WAS the go-to Halloween costume for little girls until about 10 years ago?? Witch!? What’s the go-to costume for most female people who get talked into dressing up for their office’s Halloween party?? Witch!?
What’s the central subject of most Halloween movies?? Witch!Witches were feared, and it was believed that their “powers” were at their greatest on Halloween night.?
It was thought that witches were in league with the devil. Still, the image of a witch riding her broomstick across a full moon is one of the most traditional Halloween symbols or images today.
