Jack - Of - The - Lantern

Post by Shadow »

Have you ever wondered where the tradition of carving out pumpkins came from? Why do we proudly display them on the front porch with a lit candle inside of them to illuminate the scary images that we have carved into them? The answer may surprise you. We recently added a new post to the main blog of this site, something that I would like to do more regularly, that will tell you the answers to the questions above. Check out the post HERE> Jack Of The Lantern.

I'm curious who else had heard of a similar story?

New articles, as they arrive, will be posted to the Articles section of the main website. I will do my best to try to communicate those but don't forget to check the site periodically so that you don't miss any new posts. Also, If you feel that there is something that you would like to see, please let me know via DM or the contact page on the site.

Cool story. I had no idea!
Come on baby, don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man

I really think it's interesting to see where our traditions and history comes from. There are a lot of things that we all do and we have no idea why. LOL.
