October 2006
In recent years, though, we have set aside our primitive beliefs for we now consider ourselves to be educated beings. But no matter how far we evolve, there will always be something in the far reaches of our educated minds which will bring us back to a time when we feared the moon itself. We cannot escape it, for deep down we are still animals. We will always be haunted. We will always know fear. That is why Halloween "spooks" us. This particular night frightened our ancestors, and it will continue to frighten their descendants. As soon as the sun sets and All Hallow's Eve is upon us, witches, ghosts, and goblins awaken from their long sleep. On this night there is no escaping it. We are afraid.

The Art of Alabaster
Alabaster quarries are usually open pits stretching down six to seven meters. The veins are covered in a one-meter-thick layer of shale, which once again, because of the delicate nature of alabaster must be carefully removed rather than blasted out. Averaging 50 centimeters tall and one meter across, the fragile rocks are then painstakingly removed. Working these quarries is an extremely labor-intensive and unpredictable job using techniques that, while technologically more advanced, wouldnt be all that unfamiliar to the ancients. The Ancient Egyptians believed that alabaster was associated with the sun gods. For this reason, it was chosen to cover the walls of temples and tombs; even sarcophagi were built from the harder veins. The religious significance has been passed down through the ages.
