There's always a story behind a tradition. Some of the stories may even be true.
Nowadays, the custom is that on Palm Sunday children dress up as witches and go visiting the houses in the neighbourhood. When you open the door, they will wave at you with a pussywillow branch decorated with coloured feathers and/or ribbons and recite what is essentially a blessing for the coming year. Then they give you the branch and you give them some candy. Preferably chocolate eggs.
So it's actually the Sunday before Easter. And no dress-up for adults. Sigh.
This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.
Oh noes! Read all about the tormented artist I am!

Two years ago I went as a drow elf - and we popped in the pub on the way to the nightclub. The staff were dressed in generic halloween costume (at least they put in the effort, even if it was tied in with a Halloween Themed Oktoberfest beer festival thingy) and one member of staff went up to me and said;
"I would just like to lodge a complaint on behalf of the staff that your costume makes ours look crap "
Made my night
This year I plan to go as Lloth.
o_- How are you going to do the six extra legs ...?

Humanoid form - which down here in the West Country (or at least a local LRP I went to in Devon/Cornwall) means a semi-naked black chick with white hair, evil eyes and a bikini thong covered in spiders.
That'll put the Goth Bunny Girl to shame
Because I ran a campaign where the deity system was partly based on the Rebellion of Lucifer in Christian tale, my Lloth's going to have a pair of torn wings to boot.
Besides, my niece went as a 'Spider Queen' last year - extra legs included
She got First Prize

Somehow, the thought of Lloth in a thong makes me feel a bit jittery ... ^^; I have no idea why she'd want to wear one, after all.
It's quite simple really. In just about any fantasy setting, a female character's strength, be it physical, magical, or etc. is directly proportional to how hot the character is and how little flesh is covered.
It's the T&A Theorem of Female Character Strength.
Yes ... But Lloth tends to prefer to impress people with bouts of rampaging cruelty and evil chaos. If she's showing flesh to titillate people ... what's the next step? And bear in mind that she favors creatures like black widows ...

Squidflakes, God-Emperor of the Tentacles.
He demands obeisance in the form of oral sex, or he'll put you at the mercy of his tentacles. Even after performing obeisance, you might be on the receiving ends of tentacles anyway. In this case, pray to Sodomiticus to intercede on your behalf.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go as Kwerki. I haven't quite decided yet though. It makes me nervous to dye my hair brown. Also I'll need to find an oversized brown sweatshirt... So I should be off to Value Village sometime soon...
I'll be in Uniform for the Halloween get together at the local gamer's club, and mabe for this concert thing that a few friends are doing the day before.
The American dream is to prosper by your chosen means, make your own decisions independent from some asshole in a fancy building. to live, love, and die by your own choices and passions.
and to tell the British royalty to eat a bag of dicks.

Don't forget photos and plenty of them. I want to start a GGC cosplay gallery. The only thing missing is people in GGC cosplay.
And, as always, treat everything you learn on the internet with caution till it can be verified.
Oh boy! More shittly researched pagan non-sense! Margrette Murray be praised!
don't you mean Madeline Murray O'hare ?
Nope, she's a famous atheist, Margaret Murray (misspelled up above, my apologies) was an Egyptologist in the early part of the 20th century who claimed to have unearted evidence of a pan-European, organized, Christian Resistance witchcraft cult that preserved the traditions and rituals of neolithic Brittans.
A good portion of her stuff is what the Fuzzy Bunny Pagans like to throw around as "research" and "proof" that their religion is older and for some reason more worthy of respect than any other. She's also the only who coined that hoary old phrase "The Burning Times"
So, respect for her work as an Eqyptologist and one of the first women to break in to that male dominated field is top notch, but her "research" on early paganism.. pure crap.

Oh, well. Just think that Lloth would be unlikely to go naked in public if you have to. ^^
Non-pervert. (Title bestowed by ManaUser.)
Deviating from the norm on a forum of the deviant? What does that make me?
I plan on dressing as Grimnir, though having much trouble finding blue cloak.
As a side note, probably wont be for actual Halloween. Friends are having a handfastening the saturday after ( I think it's the 5th of Nov) with costumes encouraged, which is where i plan to wear my costume.
Everyone should have ALL-Father make an appearance at their wedding, right
Well when it comes to costumes I have to be the most uncreative person out there
Last year I when as a persons with a paper bag over there head, the year before that I was a ghost (big white sheet) and before that I just got one of them 10$ mask from Rite-Aid and a big jacket. I was thinking of going as a ghost aging, but now that the idea of cosplay came up, I think I would make a very nice Chick Boy (post Freddy)
