The pagan holidays, also known as pagan festivals or celebrations, refer to the ancient religious and cultural events that were observed by pagan societies. Paganism, which is characterized by the worship of multiple deities and a deep connection with nature, dates back to pre-Christian times and was prevalent in various parts of the world. One of the most well-known pagan holidays is Samhain, which is believed to be the precursor to Halloween. Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was believed that on this night, the boundaries between the living and the dead were thinnest, allowing spirits to freely roam the earth. To ward off these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes to disguise themselves.
But one item in particular has Bath & Body Works in some hot water after employees allegedly bought up all the stock in-store while the rest of the stock was sold to scalpers and is being sold for 3x more online.
As you may know, the Bath Body Works Halloween Collection is a highly sought out collection because it just seems to get better and better every year. I don t care employees are buying items, but they should be disciplined or fired for not purchasing the items for themselves to keep but to sell third-person.
To ward off these spirits, people lit bonfires and wore costumes to disguise themselves. Another significant pagan holiday is the Winter Solstice, also known as Yule. Celebrated around December 21st, this festival marked the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Bath & Body Works Is Under Fire After They Released A Witch Hand Candle Holder That Apparently Employees Bought Up
As you may know, the Bath & Body Works Halloween Collection is a highly sought out collection because it just seems to get better and better every year.
Well, this year in particular was one to look forward to and some items were so hot, we never really even saw them available to begin with.
But one item in particular has Bath & Body Works in some hot water after employees allegedly bought up all the stock in-store while the rest of the stock was sold to scalpers and is being sold for 3x more online.
You can imagine that people are PISSED.
The item in question is the Witch Hand Pedestal Single Wick Candle Holder that was selling for $40.
For starters, people are upset because the launch date for this was supposed to be out on the 26th online but it was released early and it sold out within minutes.
As for the in-store stock, people were going to the store only to be told that the employees got first dibs on it and bought all that stores stock.
Yes, actual employees ADMITTED to customers this is what happened and even ones behind the counter were reserved for other employees!
Now, look, I get it. It’s just a candle holder. But for some people, they look forward to little things like this in life.
I mean, this past year and a half hasn’t been easy and can you imagine if someone’s day was just a little better being able to get one of these?
So, yeah, while I think employees deserve to get first dibs on products (I mean, they work there) Bath & Body Works should know better than to make such low stock.
Come on Bath & Body Works, we want more of these crazy cool products so make it happen!

BBW makes a habit of it! My favorite scent was released only one season and sold out immediately every time restocked. Now I can only find it online for quadruple the price. No thanks. I don't need it that bad. It just doesn't make sense to me that they don't make popular scents permanent. Do they have an aversion to wealth??

I don't care employees are buying items, but they should be disciplined or fired for not purchasing the items for themselves to keep but to sell third-person. BBW can track this and act accordingly. Also, there should be purchasing limits for all--employees and customers alike. There is no need to buy five of these unless for nefarious purposes.

You know what. I may come under fire for this, BUT EMPLOYEES DO DESERVE FIRST DIBS! Because, like you said, *EVERYONE* should be able to buy this and that includes employees, I cant begin to tell you how many times as an employee (not of bath & body works) we were not able to get the merchandise we want because "customers come first" and "the customer is always right" HOWEVER the employees that took advantage of this should have a limit 1-2 per person, SAME WITH THE CUSTOMER, because I won't even begin to tell you that customers would've done the same thing and bought all of these out to upsell them. It's called scalping and it shouldn't be allowed in any retail store. So the employees that did this should have a consequence for sure, like being fired but I do believe any customer that would have done this, should also be limited and subsequently be banned from the store. STOP SCALPING, WHETHER YOU'RE AN EMPLOYEE OR A CUSTOMER. DAMN.

STOP BUYING FROM SCALPERS! You're incentivizing them.
As you may know, the Bath & Body Works Halloween Collection is a highly sought out collection because it just seems to get better and better every year.
Pagan communities would gather to light bonfires and exchange gifts, symbolizing the return of the sun and the rebirth of nature. Many of the traditions associated with Yule, such as decorating trees and hanging mistletoe, have been incorporated into modern-day Christmas celebrations. Beltane, observed on May 1st, was a pagan festival that marked the beginning of summer. It was a time of fertility and growth, and people would participate in rituals and dances to ensure abundant harvests. Maypoles, a common symbol of Beltane, were erected and adorned with ribbons as part of the celebrations. Additionally, Imbolc, celebrated on February 1st, marked the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It honored the Celtic goddess Brigid and was associated with purification and the returning light of spring. People would light candles and fires to welcome the lengthening days and participate in rituals to honor Brigid's healing and creative powers. These pagan holidays were deeply rooted in the beliefs and customs of ancient societies, and they played a significant role in their religious and cultural practices. While many of these traditions have evolved or been superseded by modern holidays, the influence of pagan celebrations can still be seen today..
Reviews for "Dancing under the Moon: Celebrating Pagan Holidays in Nature"
1. Sofia - 2/5 stars - I found "The Pagan Holidays" to be quite underwhelming. The plot was confusing and it seemed like the author couldn't decide which direction to take the story in. The characters were also poorly developed and lacked depth. Additionally, I felt that the pacing was off, with some parts dragging on and others feeling rushed. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - "The Pagan Holidays" was a complete waste of time for me. The writing style was convoluted and difficult to follow, making it hard to immerse myself in the story. The author's attempts to create suspense fell flat, and I found myself having to force myself to finish the book. The lack of character development and meaningful plot just added to my frustration. I highly discourage anyone from picking up this book, as there are much better options out there.
3. Emily - 2/5stars - I had high hopes for "The Pagan Holidays," but it didn't live up to my expectations. The concept was promising, but the execution fell short. The narrative was disjointed, and I often found myself confused about what was happening. The characters were forgettable, lacking the depth and relatability that would have made me care about their fates. The overall story felt lackluster and left me feeling unfulfilled. I would advise readers to look elsewhere for a more engaging and well-crafted read.
