Every year on October 31, when the children of the world parade through the streets dressed as monsters, skeletons and witches, they re-enact a sacred ceremony whose roots are ancient. By receiving their gifts from strangers, on a plane far beyond their understanding the children establish a fraternal exchange between the visible and invisible worlds. Jean Markale explains how the modern world still unwittingly honors the transition from the light to the dark half of the year.
