Symbols of Halloween - Use Them at Their Best

Halloween symbols in the Hawaiian islands are more alike to those in Basque- and Runa shimi-speaking cultures in that they are more Day of the dead-like than Halloween trick or treating-like.

The main Hawaiian symbol associates with the night-marching Huaka’i pō (from Hawaiian hua kai pō, "[to agitate violently like the] foam [in the] sea [at] darkness" literally, "to travel in large companies at night" actually). The chanting, drumming Night Marchers, in alternating all-men and all-women rows, dress themselves in ancient battle-wear, capes and feathers on New-Moon Halloween nights and other New-Moon nights.

The Night Marchers collect the prominent dead and frighten those that offend them.

Sometimes they, are. It depends on the winemaker.

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Are apple and elderberry ever fermented together by British Isles-ers?

Symbols of Halloween - Use Them at Their Best

A basic Runa Shimi (from the language erroneously called Quechua ["to steal"], properly called runa shimi, "people['s] language") concerns the symbol of the chacana ("to cross [the steps into the upper world of the gods, the middle world of people, the underworld of the dead]).

The chacana domiciles level pavement with a circle in the middle and with a circle-surrounding square, whose north, east, south and west sides each depict a square projecting from their middle.

The north step is the upper world, the northeast corner of the square is the middle world and the east step is the underworld.

The wise serpent is the underworld symbol.

That is the closest that authentic Runa Shimi-speaking culture may maintain a Halloween-like symbol that nurtures life-and-death realities, not evil.

Movie Review: Island of Terror (1966)

Your analysis and your score incline me toward this film even as the public-library system omits it from their collections.

Is a remake at all possible?

I didn't know that. Thanks, DerdriuMarriner!

The basic Basque symbol concerns the lauburuak (from Basque lau buru ak, "four head [pluralizing] s").

The lauburuak that domicile their swirls with rightward-directioned heads draw us toward life even as the lauburuak that domicile their swirls with leftward-directioned heads draw us into death.

The exact order of names is not relevant, but the name apple and BlackBerry seems to be the commoner usage.

Thank you for your comments below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your association of blackberry and apple juice in a fermentation availing blackberry and apple intrigues me.

Is the above product known as apple and blackberry wine or as blackberry and apple wine or both?

What Keyword Research Tool To Use?

Welcome back, HollieT. It's always great to see a familiar face. Keyword reasearch is a necessity, I agree. Still, it's not enough. But without keywords you hardly stand a chance to get noticed, so it's the best possible first step.

Yes. BlackBerry jam is very popular, and BlackBerry wine is popular among amateur wine growers. Blackberry is popular when fermented with apple juicebto make blackberry and apple.

Thank you for your comments below, in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Blackberry hedges appeal to some Unitedstatesians as functional and ornamental landscaping and as edible, potable homemade food.

Blackberry wine appears among appreciated home-made and store-bought alcoholic drinks even as blackberry fruits associate with fresh, home-made jams, jellies, pastries, salads, soups and syrups.

The above-mentioned foods perhaps attract east pond-side palates, correct?
