Oh I know all about Samhain and Wicca.I read quite a lot and long ago, even had to translate, from the original Latin, Julius Caesar's take on it LOL

Don't worry about spelling ... mine isn't all that good ( dyslexia ) and besides,I can tell what you mean. :-)

It's really only in the last 30 years or so, that Halloween has become such an overboard celebration in the USA. Halloween trees ? Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh ! And a lot of peculiar stuff has been incorporated into it.

Were you Gardnerian, Fairyfey, Dianic, or just the local hodge-podge of California Wicca ?

I'm not sure I could get into what I was specifically, without blowing my cover. But I will say, that I was technically 'fam trad', and then trained in a specific branch of a very popular bay area traditon....
