It has nothing to do with candy. In the Christian religion, Halloween was originally to ward off evil spirits. The costumes were meant to scare them away and the candy is just something that was entwined into the holiday. In the Wiccan religion, it is called Samhain pronounced (Sow-en) and it is to celebrate the deceased. The passing of our loved ones and ancestors.
