The Witches of Halloween Past
If recent memes are any indication, it’s likely you’ll wind up as Big Bird, a face-eating zombie, Psy or the Ecco Homo fresco for Halloween. Or, there are the classics. You know, the default ghosts, scarecrows, clowns and witches our parents’ and even our grandparents’ generations wore for Halloween. (Turns out that my grandmother, my mother and I all had our turns as teenage witches, going door-to-door clad in black pointy hats collecting our bounty.)

Halloween is thought to date back more than 2,000 years to a time when Celtic people celebrated New Year’s Day, or Samhain, on the equivalent of November 1. Legend has it that the day before, or Samhain eve (now known as Halloween), fairy and demon spirits would appear in the ether as they traveled to the afterlife. Celts dressed in costumes to stave off the evil spirits and tap into the souls of their ancestry.

All Hallows’ Eve, as it’s also known, was brought to the United States by European immigrants in the 1800s and with it, the witch costume. With absolutely no scientific evidence, one could conjecture that at least one in four people has dressed up as the hooked-nose, broom-laden, cauldron-stirring, wart-faced caricature at least one time in his or her Halloween career. As proof of this hypothesis, images of Halloween witches throughout the decades aren’t difficult to come by.

Sexy witches, pin-up witches, cutesy witches. I’d assumed that the proliferation of racy costumes (bananas and bubble gum costumes included) was a more recent occurrence. Slate suggests that the tawdriness actually began in the 1970s for a few reasons: Drag queens began dressing up for Halloween in skimpy outfits; the Halloween parade kicked off in Greenwich Village in 1973 and was quickly mimicked in the Castro and West Hollywood; and retailers began selling suggestive pre-fab costumes. But from digging around for old photos and coming upon images of scantily clad enchantresses riding those broomsticks beginning in the 1910s, it looks like witches were less Salem and more sassy much earlier than the disco decade.

P.S. Ever wonder why broomsticks were a witch’s accessory of choice? Brooms weren’t initially meant for flying. In Celtic times, they had a much more mundane purpose; they were used to clean an area before a healing ritual could be performed. But if you ask me, the broomstick’s primary function was likely to shoo away black cats from crossing your path.

Reviews for "The Curse of the Scorpion God: Untangling the Jadf Scorpio Curse"
- John Smith - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Curse jadf scorpio". The plot was confusing and all over the place, and the characters were underdeveloped. I couldn't connect with any of them and found myself not caring about what was happening. The writing style was also a bit lackluster, with awkward dialogue and repetitive descriptions. Overall, it was a forgettable read for me.
- Emily Johnson - 1 star - I couldn't even finish "Curse jadf scorpio". The writing was so bad, filled with grammatical errors and typos. The story didn't make any sense, and the pacing was incredibly slow. It felt like nothing was happening, and I had no interest in finding out what would happen next. I really tried to give it a chance, but it just wasn't for me.
- Laura Thompson - 2 stars - I had high expectations for "Curse jadf scorpio" based on the synopsis, but it fell completely flat. The world-building was confusing and lacked depth, and the magic system felt underdeveloped. The characters were also very one-dimensional, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The writing style was also a bit dull, and I found myself skimming through most of the book. Overall, I was disappointed with this read.
- Michael Brown - 3 stars - "Curse jadf scorpio" had an interesting premise, but it failed to live up to its potential. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on and others feeling rushed. The dialogue was also a bit forced and unrealistic. While there were a few moments of intrigue, the overall execution fell short for me. I was left wanting more from the story and the characters.
