Esta noche se celebra la llamada noche de las burjas, la velada que precede al día de todos los santos, la noche de halloween... Una noche de oscura tradición pagana que en la actualidad tiene mucho seguimiento en los paises anglosajones, Estados Unidos y gran parte de sudamérica. Esta noche pasearán los niños y no tan niños de puerta en puerta preguntando "¿Truco o trato?" y recibiendo golosinas a cambio de la indulgencia de los chicos disfrazados de personajes aterradores. En España este ritual aun no está muy instaurado y somos más de ir a los cementerios a poner flores y comer huesos de santo... Pero esta noche se verá a muchos jóvenes paseandose disfrazados de bar en bar. En cualquier caso recomiendo desde la Mesa de Luz tener cuidado esta noche mágica en la que los muertos se levantan de sus tumbas y los espectros se manifiestan de manera terrorífica.
