Rogers maintains that it was all but impossible for the English Reformation to suppress such rituals, since so much of baby what went on in local parishes neither involved nor required clerical guidance. Folk-observances adult such as the lighting of bonfires on Hallowmass and the house-to-house selling of soul cakes, along with enthusiasm for spells, omens and fortune-telling, and a more general acknowledgment that this was a season of supernatural intensity all indicate that this festival (by whatever name it was observed) always seems to have corresponded with certain societal needs.

Halloween "now grosses $6.8 billion, having more than doubled its revenue from candy, costumes, cards and party supplies in the last five years," Rogers states. He observes that in the aftermath of September 2001 what seemed to matter most about Halloween was whether it would fulfill its commercial potential in the threat of an economic recession, Rogers''s overview of recent reactions to and adaptations of the festival doesn''t leave much hope that Halloween will retain any coherent meaning. For both parents and children Halloween, like the consumption of too much candy, is likely to become less arid less satisfying.
