How many people went up in flames in their quest to find their one true love? How many?

be my halloween valentine
My first introduction to Halloween as a time for finding true love came through Robert Burns' poem. Since then, I've encountered countless postcards and images portraying the once romantic side of Halloween. Recently, however, I stumbled upon another form of this Halloween romance ritual. This one appears slightly more dangerous than tossing nuts into a fire or gazing into a mirror at midnight.

Interesting, the ' on Hallowe'en, which has been lost since then.

Wonderful postcards!
Ouch! Really, good thing that was before hairspray or nice melty synthetic clothing..... :D
Cheers!
It is interesting to notice that Halloween is a celebration that has so many different aspects: it is mainly about death and fears, about the way we deal with both, but it is also a celebration of life, with feasting and lights and the passing of seasons. It can also have a romantic element, as you show us in this post.
Haha! YIKES!
I think I'd choose to stay single.
