Magic Of The Pumpkin A North American Original

The origin of the pumpkin is not definitely known, today it is presumed to be originated in North America.   In Wisconsin the pumpkin is adored, decorated and consumed.  The pumpkin has forged a sacred geometric pass in a long recorded history that extends well beyond the human life span.  The pumpkins evolved corridor is maintained through consistent annual celebration.

The pumpkin is adored for its treasured appearance when employed with autumn decoration.  Strategically placed the space surrounding the pumpkin form (more to the pumpkin than meets the eye) and the form are one.  The seemingly blank space is now a familiar residence.  The pumpkin urges the viewer to recognize the vicinity of earth and growth.

The pumpkin is carved and decorated to celebrate the individual representation of an eternal presence.  Once carved and the internal candle is lit, it is customary to set the jack o lantern on the outside stoop, no longer belonging indoors.  Smashing the jack o lantern is believed to be a physical manifestation of the underlying conscious sense that humans share travel on the earth floor with the pumpkin. This speaks to the knowledge of individuality and control being some what unreal.

Portions of the pumpkin are used to make a delcious pie best with a hint of cinnamon.  A welcome desert on most holiday kitchen tables.  The seeds can be dried in the oven and salted producing a flavorful snack.  Consuming the pumpkin (ritual) during a traditional holiday meal reminds us all we will see the pumpkin again next year.  Home Care Path thanks Mrs. A for this special blog entry.
