My kids got one instead of candy for trick-or-treating one year.
I find that one really funny because yeah as a pagan it is my most solemn holiday of the year, I light a candle for my dead loved ones and have a nice little chat with them hoping they can hear it somehow. You know, normal stuff people do to honor the dead.
ETA: It also marks the beginning of the season of death, where the days keep getting shorter, it keeps getting colder, and life rapidly winds down for the winter. It's a good time to reflect on endings and to remember that endings lead to new beginnings.
That ritual is not on the pre-approved list. You must go through the proper channels. Your deviance has beed noted.
But in all seriousness, this is exactly how these reactionary evangelicals want to control people: take things that are perfectly normal human activities and put them exclusively under the purview of their own structures and hierarchies.
...wow...my whole country is full of satanists, cuz we mourn the dead - admittedly day after halloween, which are only recently slowly adding - instead of being festive.
And it's christian holiday soooo...lol
My parents unironically believe this. I'm fairly pissed, I love Halloween, and it is on my bday.
