Siderophobia is the fear of stars; some have excessive or pathological concern that evil may come from certain alignment of the stars.
Siderophobia has a Latin root word sidero which means star and a Greek word phobos meaning fear.
There are so many types of phobias, in fact there is a phobia or mania for almost everything, take for instance, Halloween, the fear for this celebration is called Samhainophobia.
Unlike many phobias that have its root words from Greek origins, samhain apparently originated from a Celtic festival, which is celebrated every year. This celebration marks the end of harvest and the start of winter and darker half of the year.
As much as many children and adults alike enjoy celebrating Halloween or Hallow’s eve, there are also those who are dreading it with sometimes, pathological passion.
Enjoy you candies, enjoy your treats but take heed that not everyone wishes to join in the fun.
