Halloween isn't what it used to be - no, we're not coming from a sentimental, nostalgic point of view. We're talking about Halloween in the most literal sense there is.  It may not seem like it, but there was a lot more to this spooky holiday than candy and flashy costumes. It was a time of celebration, coming together as a community, and protecting each other from what our ancestors considered to be harmful spirits. Here's the rundown on the truth about Halloween.

Associating different symbols with personality traits isn't anything new: horoscopes, colours, and the age-old cat vs. dog debate are all examples of this. The same goes for birthstones. While they're a lot of fun to read about, they should be taken with a grain of salt.
