Halloween is usually associated with carved pumpkins and occults. Think of it when it was actually started to keep the supernatural powers at bay. The members of the family and community used to stay awake and lit a fire to keep the ghosts away.
Now the younger generation is misguiding the rituals of Halloween for their own selfish interests. Spanning from the land of the dollar, the USA, to the serene land of Ireland, black magic is performed during the Halloween to harm people.
Voodoo Power
If you posses some feelings of hatred for a nasty colleague or your promiscuous boss, believers of voodoo magic in the US make the most of the Halloween. Prior to the Halloween day, they will make voodoo dolls in the name of the people whom they hate or dislike. The idea is to place the voodoo dolls in a circle of fire and then punish them by piercing needles.
This tradition was started by the Celts who believed that the voodoo dolls would keep their enemies at bay. In the present scenario, young people in the corporate sector have said to use voodoo dolls to settle their scores.
Black Magic
In the ancient times in Ireland, witch hunting was considered auspicious on the occasion of Halloween. Old wives in the haunted tows of Ireland still practice it as a ritual to be performed during the Halloween season. Housewives and desperate and dumped companions often pay a hefty amount to seek revenge on their partners. They gave away some of their partners belonging like clothes and hair to perform the magic. A pot is placed over a fire with the occults being pronounced loudly in the name of the person to be hunted. Many jilted lovers also perform this act as a desperate measure to get back their partners.
Magic Potion
In England, a popular way of taming animals and even people by magic is through the food. A magic potion is mixed in the food to be consumed by the person concerned to tame him. The idea is to mould the person concerned in their own favor. Usually, this is a popular tactics in the offices and even the royal household in England is not spared. Cults are spread and witches often mix the magical potion to tame the person in their favor and sometimes, to behave and act in a self destructive manner.
Let There Be A Positive Aura
Although there is so much violence and gory bloodshed is spread in the world, people want more. Let the occasion of Halloween be a symbol of positivity instead of gory. If we go back to the 5th century, Halloween was celebrated in Ireland in order to keep away bad spirits. Is it not better to follow nature’s way rather than get diverted. This Halloween you can present fresh genista yellow flowers to your colleagues and boss as a symbol of positivity. For people whom you hate the most, extend a hand for friendship by sending a bunch of calendula as a token of friendship. The idea is to celebrate the occasion by sticking to its original fervor.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and change the meaning of Halloween. The future is in your hands.

Thanksgiving is a day when you can convey your gratitude to your colleagues at the office. Here are some people who deserve a special something as your colleagues on the occasion of Thanksgiving Day, and how to make them feel good.
A Noble Gesture
Recollect how many times you have yelled at the errand boy for putting the papers late on your desk? You would surely recall that he had been a victim of your untimely fury for serving coffee with less froth.
Surprise the errand boy with a noble gesture of saying thank you. You can gift him a tee shirt or a gift voucher to convey how much he matters to you. It is a small way of showing your gratitude to people who make your life easy.
Remembering The Old School
Think of those impossible moments when your written content would never shape up the way it was instructed. It was your teacher who wrecked his brains to chisel out the writer out of you. No matter how many times you got spanked for incomplete and shoddy work but in the end, success is your companion. On Thanksgiving Day, gift your mentor, a precious and exclusive gift like a solitaire studded pen to convey your gratitude. You can also gift him fresh cut orchids as a symbol of your gratefulness.
Raise A Toast To Your First Boss
Remember the amount of backbiting towards your first boss for making you work for longer hours? You may have hated him to the core but he was the man who chiseled out the fine professional qualities out of you. On the occasion of Thanksgiving Day, send him a bouquet of fresh European roses.
No matter how much hated you and scorned upon you but on receiving the bouquet, he would be doubly sure of his convictions. You can also send him a personalized note or even a letter to express your feelings. Let the bad experiences be a lesson for you and eulogize him for being your mentor.
Let this year’s Thanksgiving be an occasion for your office colleagues to remember.
