Halloween, pumpkins, costume parties, and spookiness.
All Saints\u2019 Day, grave candles, memories, and stillness.
Whether you prefer lighting jack-o\u2019-lanterns, grave candles\u2014or both\u2014this season is a time for togetherness and reflection. Two traditions, different in tone, yet both with light as their symbol against the darkness. So why do we celebrate them so differently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween \u2013 from Celtic harvest festival to Christian holiday<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Halloween has its roots in the 2,000-year-old Celtic festival Samhain, which marked the Celtic New Year: the transition from summer to winter, from light to darkness, from life to death. It was believed that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was thinnest at this time, allowing spirits from the other side to visit our world. Families would invite the spirits of their deceased relatives to join in the great harvest feast.
People dressed in frightening costumes and lit large bonfires\u2014much like our Swedish Walpurgis Night fires\u2014to protect themselves from and scare away evil spirits. 
When Christianity reached Scotland and Ireland, Samhain was labeled as a pagan, devil-worshipping tradition. Just like with other pagan celebrations\u2014 Yule (later Christmas), for example\u2014a new holiday was created: All Hallows\u2019.
The name Halloween comes from All Hallows\u2019 Eve, which later became Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samhain is still celebrated today. A modern example is the Samhuinn Fire Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, organized by the Beltane Fire Society. The festival is a contemporary interpretation of Samhain and is celebrated with a spectacular performance of fire, music, dance, acrobatics, and mythological characters. The event takes place outdoors, and the audience is encouraged to come dressed in imaginative, Halloween-inspired costumes.

\u201cTrick or Treat\u201d - from medieval door-knocking to modern candy hunts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tradition of \u201cTrick or Treat\u201d began in medieval Britain during All Souls\u2019 Day, when the poor went door-to-door asking for food. They would receive a type of small cake called a \u2018soul cake\u2019. In return, the beggar would include the donor\u2019s deceased relatives in their prayers. Children also began dressing up and knocking on doors in hopes of getting food or coins. In exchange, they might sing a song, recite a poem, or tell a joke.

The tradition gained huge popularity in the 1800s when Scottish and Irish immigrants brought it to the United States. That\u2019s when it took on its modern form as \u201cTrick or Treat\u201d. In the beginning, however, the focus was more on the tricks, which sometimes led to vandalism. City authorities managed to redirect the custom by making it a child-centered activity instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jack-o\u2019-Lantern \u2013 an old tradition in a new land<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the 1600s, Irish and Scottish people began carving scary faces into turnips, placing them in their windows to scare away evil spirits, especially one known as Stingy Jack. The legend of Stingy Jack tells of a man who, after death, was denied entry into Heaven and, having tricked the Devil, was also barred from Hell. The Devil instead condemned Jack to wander in eternal darkness with only a turnip filled with glowing embers as his light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These carved lanterns became known as Jack-o\u2019-lanterns. The name comes from \u201cman of the lantern\u201d, which itself referred to nightwatchmen who patrolled city streets with lanterns in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tradition also made its way to the U.S. during the waves of immigration. In their new home, people discovered an abundance of pumpkins ready for harvest in the fall, and so the tradition lived on\u2014reborn as the now-iconic pumpkin lantern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween in Sweden<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t until the 1990s that Halloween began to gain ground in Sweden, largely thanks to American popular culture through movies and television.
By the late 1990s, large retail chains were marketing Halloween with decorations, candy, and of course\u2014pumpkins.
By the turn of the millennium, Halloween had become a well-established tradition among families with children, and many companies and amusement parks began hosting Halloween events around the country.

A lit pumpkin = \u201cWe have candy!\u201d<\/strong>
A useful tip for anyone planning to go trick-or-treating\u2014or for those expecting little ghosts and monsters at the door\u2014is the unwritten American rule that has also taken root in Sweden: a lit jack-o\u2019-lantern or other light outside the door signals that there\u2019s candy to give away.

Check your local neighborhood group on Facebook to see if your area has its own customs or signals for handing out candy. Follow these guidelines and please respect those who choose not to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Saints\u2019 Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All Saints\u2019 Day in Sweden always falls on a Saturday between October 31 and November 6.
Sometimes this day can be overshadowed by Halloween, which is always celebrated on October 31.

The two holidays are often conflated but are very different in tone.
Halloween is playful, with costumes, parties, and dancing, while All Saints\u2019 Day focuses on quiet remembrance, reflection, and honoring loved ones who have passed. People visit cemeteries to light candles on graves, filling them with warm glows of light. Churches often hold special memorial services on this day.
No wonder there can be a cultural clash between Halloween\u2019s festivity and All Saints\u2019 calm solemnity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Whichever holiday\u2014or combination of traditions\u2014you choose to celebrate, there\u2019s something for everyone. Mix and match if you like\u2014there\u2019s no right or wrong.
The most important thing is to show respect for others, recognizing that not everyone shares the same view of these traditions or how to celebrate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let this season be a time to cherish the people in your life and to remember those who are no longer with us. Light up the autumn darkness with joy, community\u2014and a touch of spookiness if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which holiday do you celebrate? What does it look like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A short story with Quinley & Herrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Who are Quinley and Herrow?<\/strong>
In Coffinfolk Caf\u00e9\u2019s stand alone short stories, you\u2019ll meet two most unlikely friends:\u00a0
Quinley<\/strong> \u2013 Coffinfolk\u2019s caf\u00e9 host. A young woman who loves life just as much as she loves exploring the cultural heritage of death and sharing advice, information, and insights that can help people \u2013 whether they are facing their own encounter with Death or living with grief.
Herrow<\/strong> \u2013 Death himself. He may look frightening in his black cloak, but beneath the bones is a kind soul who enjoys a cup of coffee and sharing experiences gathered from every corner of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find a longer introduction + a short story about their first meeting HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCelebrate What Is, Remember What Was\u201d<\/strong>
Narrated by Quinley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The small houses stood silent along the road in the evening darkness. I hummed loudly to myself, singing the bits of verses I had managed to pick up. My Gaelic pronunciation was surely dreadful, so it was just as well that only Herrow and I could hear me. I skipped along while the Grim Reaper trudged at his usual, leisurely pace beside me.
\u201cHaha! Maybe you\u2019d have liked to stay a little longer? Should we go back again?\u201d
\u201cNo, I want to see more!\u201d I looked up at Herrow with a wide grin. \u201cIt was so amazing to see Samhain for real, not just our modern interpretations of it. I mean, the costumes, the songs, the joy, the community\u2026 the food!<\/em>\u201d I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, as if I could still smell the wonderful aromas of fresh vegetables and roasted meat. \u201cThe animal sacrifices were a little\u2026 hard to stomach\u2026\u201d I shrugged, \u201cbut we Swedes dabbled in that once upon a time too, so who am I to judge.\u201d

In the windows of the houses, small lanterns were lit. Too small to be pumpkins, but several of them had similar, creepy faces carved into them. The flickering flame inside made the eyes and mouth look even more menacing. The feeling that the lanterns were watching us out here in the dark gave me a shiver.
\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d Herrow rested his bony hand on my shoulder. \u201cThey\u2019re meant to ward off evil spirits. We\u2019re just curious spectators visiting from another time.\u201d
\"Where... When<\/em> are we?\"
\u201cLet\u2019s see. Scotland. The 1600s.\u201d
I nodded as if the answer didn\u2019t make my head spin. Time travel is amazing, but getting your mind to keep up is a different matter entirely.

Further ahead came a low laugh. A faint glow lit up the cobblestones.
I pressed myself closer to Herrow.
\u201cIs that\u2026 Stingy Jack?\u201d I whispered, clutching tightly at his cloak.
\u201cDo you want to find out? It might just be a harmless nightwatchman.\u201d
\u201cNo!\u201d I hissed back. \u201cTake us somewhere with more people. Please?\u201d
The Reaper wove his thin fingers together with mine, and with a gust of wind we left the desolate streets behind.

Now came shouting and laughter. I cracked one eye open. People. Lots of people. The smell of alcohol stung my nose.
I let go of my death-grip on Herrow and looked around. Another city. Another time.
\u201cWelcome to Boston, U.S., 1800s.\u201d
\u201cAhh!\u201d By reflex I ducked as a glass bottle came flying and shattered against the wall behind us. \u201cWhat kind of drunken brawl is this?!\u201d
\u201cLooks like someone didn\u2019t have treats to offer,\u201d Herrow chuckled, pointing with his scythe toward a door now being bombarded with raw eggs.
\u201cGood grief. Maybe it really was for the best that this turned into an activity for children after all\u2026\u201d I muttered, glaring at the crowd moving noisily on.

We went the other way and soon met more groups out trick-or-treating. This one had children with them. A father carried his little daughter on his hip. Her drowsy eyes flew wide when she pointed at Herrow. \u201cDeath!\u201d
I stopped so abruptly that Herrow nearly bumped into me.
The father looked our way and stroked her hair. \u201cHe\u2019s not dangerous, sweetheart. He\u2019s the one who came to take Grandma when she went to Heaven, remember?\u201d The girl nodded, popped her thumb into her mouth, and her eyelids drooped shut again.
I tugged at Herrow\u2019s sleeve. \u201cCan she see you?\u201d
Herrow laughed, gently tilted my chin, and turned my head across the street. \u201cAha\u2026\u201d I was almost disappointed to see only a man in a long dark cloak with his hood up, leaning on a cane. \u201cAh well, close enough.\u201d

Our travels and wandering were beginning to weigh on my feet.
Herrow wanted to show me one last thing before we returned to the caf\u00e9.
The first thing I noticed was the stillness. We stood outside a church. A familiar church. The cemetery glowed with what must have been hundreds of candles. By one gravestone sat a girl equally familiar.
\u201cThat\u2019s\u2026 me\u2026\u201d It was such a surreal feeling, seeing myself from the outside like this.
Herrow stayed close as we approached. His hand squeezed my shoulder. Without making a sound we passed by other visitors who stood in silence or spoke in hushed tones beside the gravestones.
My cheeks burned as we listened to me talking to Grandma. It sounded like any ordinary conversation, and I half-expected to hear her answer back.
After a while I stood, brushing off the dirt from my pants.
\u201cEnjoy the peace, Grandma. I\u2019m off to meet the girls and watch some horror movies. If you get restless here, you\u2019re always welcome to drop by. Happy Halloween!\u201d
We stayed, watching me until I disappeared into the dark.
\u201cThis used to be one of the few days of the year when I didn\u2019t feel strange for talking to the dead. A brief time when it actually felt allowed <\/em>to talk about death.\u201d I squeezed Herrow\u2019s hand. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful I got to meet you, Harley, and all the guests at Coffinfolk. The decorations come and go, but the Halloween spirit remains. Speaking of which \u2014 shall we head back to the caf\u00e9?\u201d
\u201cIf that\u2019s what you wish,\u201d Herrow said, leaning against his scythe.

In a heartbeat, we were back in the caf\u00e9. I blinked against the afternoon sun streaming in through the curtains. The smell of freshly baked apple pie made my stomach growl.
Harley, my boss and owner of Coffinfolk, stood just where we had left him. What felt like hours of absence to me had been but a second to him.
\u201cWell? How was it?\u201d Harley gave me a crooked smile as he straightened a blanket on one of the sofas. I staggered to another couch and plopped down heavily.
\u201cIt was\u2026 overwhelming. Fascinating. Magical!<\/em>\"
As if reading my thoughts, Harley brought over a sandwich on a plate and a steaming mug of hot chocolate.
\u201cIt\u2019s no Celtic harvest feast, but at least it fills the belly.\u201d
I mumbled a \u2018Thanks!\u2019 between bites and looked around the caf\u00e9, now dressed in its autumn decor.

That Harley loves Halloween is no secret, so I was eager to see how Coffinfolk would be decorated for the season\u2014and I wasn\u2019t disappointed!
The sofas and armchairs were draped with blankets in autumn colors. Tables were set with warm-toned cloths, candles, and small pumpkins we got from a local farmer. She said they weren\u2019t pretty enough to sell, but we loved them despite their little flaws. The windowsills were now filled with guests\u2019 creations: crocheted figures, painted candles, carved turnips, and pumpkins of different sizes, shapes and colors.
On one table in the middle of the room stood a sign reading: \u201cReserved \u2013 for those who live on in our memories.\u201d
One of our guests had baked funeral confections\u2014yes, meant to be eaten\u2014as a sweet, slightly macabre joke. They were gone in a day, and people asked for more.

This truly was a place where everyone could feel welcome, however they celebrated\u2014or if they didn\u2019t celebrate at all. Even for those just dropping by from the other side of the grave. Our door is open to all.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
