Hey all, this is a blog that I post on my myspace each year around halloween. I have gone to the length of making it extremely appealing to someone who might just glance at it, so that it captures their attention. Perhaps, some of you may want to use it, I usually dress it up with pictures the stories are talking about, and make it look very halloweenish. It has had an effect on quite a few friends of mine who did not know the truth about halloween.
Hope ya'll enjoy it.
[b]HAPPY HALLOWEEN?[/b]
To those who believe in a "Happy Halloween"...
Have you ever considered what Halloween truly is?
Is it simply a commercialized holiday that our country has dreamed up?
Is it merely so that children can go get some candy from their neighbors?
Is it really a happy holiday at all?
Or is there something else behind it, something more sinister and evil? Don't tell me you've never had that feeling on a dark Halloween night, where a chill runs down your spine, no one is around, but you know there is something out there...
...Something very wrong...
Allow me to continue...
...There is nothing innocent or sweet about Halloween, sure it's such a "nice" holiday, where kids get to be happy and have candy and dress up. But maybe we are not looking deep enough for the real answers about this "Happy" day.
November 1st was the Celtic New Year. That day was considered the day of death because temperatures were dropping, the tree leaves were falling, and it was getting dark sooner and staying dark longer. They believed their sun god, identified in the World Book Encyclopedia as Muck Olla, was losing strength because Saman, Lord of Death, was overpowering him. Remember, it was a Druidic belief that on the eve of the Vigil of Saman, October 31, the Lord of Death called together the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals as punishment for their evil deeds. This demon god then allowed them to return to their former homes to visit the living. Supposedly, to appease the Lord of Death and keep the spirits from harming the people, Druid priests led the people in diabolical worship ceremonies in which horses, cats, black sheep, oxen, human beings and other offerings were rounded up, stuffed into wicker cages and burned to death. Again, I have received correspondence from witches that dispute my assertion that Druids offered human sacrifices. Once again, I will reaffirm my position that they did offer human sacrifices, based on my research. Allow me to provide the evidence.
In his definitive book, The Druids, by Stuart Piggott you can read the following –
Our information on Druid ceremonies mainly centers on sacrifice, and is contained in the Posidonian sources and in Pliny. Strabo writes…of human sacrifice by shooting to death by arrows, or by impaling, and the holocaust of human and animal victims alike in a huge wicker figure (kolosson). Caesar likewise describes these great figures (immani magnitudine simulacra) whose limbs were filled with living men and set on fire. Tacitus is specific on British Druids: 'they deemed it indeed a duty to cover their altars with the blood of captives and to consult their deities through human entrails.
In the book, The Celts, Gerhard Herm writes of the Celtic people…
The inhabitants employ a very surprising and incredible custom when they want to know matters of great importance. They consecrate a human being to death, drive a dagger into his belly, above the abdomen, and draw conclusions about events to come from the squirming of the victim and the spurting of his blood. They have been practicing this custom since time immemorial.
From the writings of Julius Caesar, we have this account. In the century preceding the birth of Christ, Caesar conquered the Britons and he records very carefully the account of the DRUID PRIESTS:
All Gallic nations are much given to superstition...they either offer up men as victims to the gods, or make a vow to sacrifice themselves. The ministers in these offerings are the Druids, and they hold that the wrath of the immortal gods can only be appeased, and man's life redeemed, by offering up human sacrifice, and it is a part of their national institutions to hold fixed solemnities (Ceremonies) for this purpose.
I looked deeper to see if I could find the dates of these "fixed solemnities." I found the answer in an encyclopedia called Man, Myth and Magic. "The pagan Celts in Northern Europe held two great fire festivals each year -- Beltane on the eve of 1 May and Samhain on the eve of 1 November -- to mark the beginning of summer and winter." So you see that Samhain, the forerunner of Halloween, was one of the days when human sacrifices were offered. It is interesting to note that when they gathered together on these pagan worship days they would meet in a grove of trees, preferably oak trees, or in a stone circle. There are many stone circles in the British Isles and in western Europe. The most famous surviving stone circle is Stonehenge, located on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire England. It is evident that human sacrifice was common at this ancient Druid Sacrificial Circle because within three miles of this site there are over 350 funeral mounds that contain the remnants of countless human sacrifices.
Our Pilgrim forefathers knew well of Halloween's occult roots. In fact they banned celebrating Halloween in America. Halloween was not celebrated in this country until 1845. At that time multiplied thousands of Irish emigrants flooded into New York because of the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-46. They brought with them an old Druid Holiday they called Halloween. Gradually celebrating this day spread throughout the rest of the country.
To understand Halloween's roots better we need to go back further into history and take a look at the Druids and the Celtic people. The Druids were the pagan priests of the Celts. They were idolaters, occult practitioners and witches of sorts. Let's begin with the information found in the 11th edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Halloween and its former attendant ceremonies long antedate Christianity. The two chief characteristics of ancient Halloween were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that of all nights in the year this is the one during which ghosts and witches are most likely to wander abroad. Now on or about the 1st of November the Druids held their great autumn festival and lighted fires in honor of the Sun-god in thanksgiving of the harvest. Further, it was a Druidic belief that on the eve of this festival Saman, lord of death, called together the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals. Thus it is clear that the main celebration of Halloween was purely Druidical, and this is further proved by the fact that in parts of Ireland the 31st of October was, and even still is, known as Oidhche Shamhna, "Vigil of Saman." On the Druidic ceremonies were grafted some of the characteristics ! of the Roman festival in honor of Pamona held about the 1st of November…
Depending on your source material, the Druid Lord of Death and evil spirits was called Saman, Shamhan, Samana, Shamhain or Samhain. I have used, (see the above quote), such as the historic 11th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica, it identifies the Druid Lord of Death as Saman and his holiday named after him as Oidhche Shamhna, translated "Vigil of Saman." Other reliable sources call his "holiday" "The Vigil Samhain" (Shamhain is pronounced so-wein).
I ask you, are the protests of the occult community an effort to "white wash" the truth about Saman and how they worshipped him in fiendish, bloody worship rituals? I believe that is probable.
Suffice it to say, at this point that the pagan worship day Samhain evolved into Halloween. But what of their Lord of Death? You probably have seen a modern day version of SAMAN without even knowing it. This pagan god was shown as a ghostly, skeleton holding a sickle in his hand. He later came to be known as THE GRIM REAPER.
So while you sit here pondering whether or not Halloween has something more sinister behind it, understand that it does, it is completely evil in it's entirety, and formed by Satan himself. Sure it's covered up to look innocent by dressing kids up in cute outfits, but underneath it all, it is a celebration of all that is unholy in God's eyes. So while you allow yourself, or God forbid your children to take part in this "Happy Halloween", you are supporting the worship of devils and demons.
"Happy Halloween" everyone.
I pray we all repent...
