Before plastic fangs and fake blood, October 31st was a day of rebellion. The history of Halloween spans 500 years and two continents, featuring pagan rebels in the Medieval British Isles, European witch hunts, and widespread arson in Detroit in the 1980s.

RIP Diane Di Prima, the Catholic Buddhist pagan Aphrodite. A gentle subversive who foresaw the future a half-century early. A loving mother & sage conjuror of revolutionary letters & thousands of orphic poems, holy translations of divine symbols & organic soil. An oracle departs.
