because the night i had it was like a movie closing and the next day things were so differentIs halloween a time of cleansing?
Come on now! Halloween is for candy, Xmas is for presents, and Thanksgiving is for turkey. jeezIs halloween a time of cleansing?
Yes it can be, and depending on your beliefs it can be a different kind of cleansing. For pagans who celebrate it as the new year it can be a time to ';wash away'; the negative and start anew. For Catholics who celebrate All Saints and Souls (All Hallows) it is a time to pray for the cleansing or forgiving of the souls in purgatory. I haven't heard very many people use the term ';cleansing'; in relation to Halloween, but it can apply.





EDIT: You can look up All Souls Day for the Christian part, and the first answer to this question explains the pagan version of cleansing pretty well:
