Silver Goddess
Jack o’ Lanterns
Have you ever thought about the way the custom of carving pumpkins and making Jack o’ Lanterns started? The custom started in Eire many centuries back. It was brought to America with the first Irish settlers.
there are a few versions of an Irish legend told about a man called’Stingy Jack.’ Here’s the one I like.
stingy Jack invited the devil to have a drink with him, but when it came time to pay for the drinks, miserly Jack talked the demon into changing himself into a sixpence. Miserly Jack didn’t use the sixpence to pay for the drinks. Jack pocketed the sixpence and kept it stored beside a silver cross. The silver cross, of course, forestalled the devil from changing back.
Eventually Jack made a deal with the devil. Jack would set the demon free, but the devil could not harm him or annoy him and would not claim his soul.
the next Halloween, Jack died. St. Peter wouldn’t let him into Heaven because he had dealt with the demon. So Jack went to the Gates of Hell, but the demon instructed him to depart. The devil recounted he had made a promise not to make a claim Jack’s soul, so he could not come into Hell. Jack was frightened to leave because it was dark and he could not find his way. The devil threw a glowing coal to Jack and Jack put it inside a turnip.
Stingy Jack’s forsaken soul has been roaming the faces of this earth ever since in the shape of a Jack o’ Lantern.
The Irish used turnips in the old country to make Jack o’ Lanterns because they were bounteous. They didn’t start using pumpkins until they migrated to America and found that pumpkins were plentiful.
