Autumn Applications of the Tai Chi Broadsword Form
Halloween marks the beginning of the darkness. Split between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Soltice, this famous and fantastic Holiday widens eyes with ecstatic treats and tricky terrors.
Halloween dons dark disguises:
- All Hallow’s Eve
- All Saints’ Day
- All Souls’ Day
- Day of the Dead
- Feast of All Souls
- Hallowmas
- Samhain
Whatever Halloween wears, we know it chops off the harvest season, cutting the waning light with looming dark. It plunges excitement into hearts of candy-loving children, and it slashes images of razor-bladed apples into the minds of parents. Halloween wears a dark shroud, wields a dark scythe.
