The fact that Halloween has its roots in paganism means that the devil is involved. Live lovingly, do your best, keep your own highest truth, accept what is and be grateful for every second of the gift of Life you have been given, "humour" and all. In parts of Yorkshire All Hallows' Eve is still called "cake night," and an old Halloween custom everywhere was "going a-soul-ing," or begging for soul-cakes.
