The history of Halloween superstitions

by Sally Thornton

Created on: October 29, 2008

Halloween, Ancient Night of Terror: It is the last night of October. by the light of the moon, a small group of costumed figures move from house to house, stating their demands with dire threats. there are grimacing pumpkin heads glowing with burning candles made from human fat. Other doors drip with blood. It is the night of Samhain, Celtic Lord of the dead.

Perhaps, in no other "Christianized" celebration does Satan so blatantly honor himself and memorialize his war dead. the writer J. Garnier suggest that celebration of suffering and death can be traced back to the ancient destruction of all his human followers as well as the hybrid sons of fallen angels, at the time of the flood. cultures the world over have festivals for the dead, " holidays held by all or about the the very day on which according to the Mosaic account the Deluge took place on or about , Viz, the seventeenth day of the second month-the month nearly corresponding with November. {the Worship of the Dead by J. Garnier.}

The Druids were no exception. On October thirty one, Samhain, was said to release the spirits of the dead to mingle with the living. Druids roamed the street with lanterns, and on coming to a house they demanded money as an offering to Satan.

Halloween is a major satanic ritual day, it's a religious holiday, for the underworld, with satanists performing sacrifices and witches quietly celebrating with prayer circles or meals for the dead,' according to a USA Today article. It quoted Washington with Bryan Jordan as saying"{Christians} don't realize it, they are celebrating our holiday with us. We like it."

Parents, do you want your children imitating these sinister rituals. You dress them in costumes and they carry buckets for candy. Have you taught them, the Halloween holiday is for fun and pleasure? It is not for dirty tricks and bad deeds, if you go to a home that does not wish to participate in "All Saints Day." Have you taught them what superstition is? A belief or practice that comes from fear and ignorance and that is against the known laws of science. {It is a superstition that a black cat walking across someone's path brings bad luck,.} A superstitious person is one that believes in superstition.

The halloween holiday has faded somewhat, from the time I was a youngster. The world has become more corrupt and sinister. Nothing is thought about sliping a razor blade in an apple or putting LSD in candy. What about the children that vanish when going trick or treating. Many are maimed for life from being hit by a speeding car. Really, what do you expect? This is Satan's Time and He is enjoying it throughly. Let's not be so ready to join Him in His Ancient Night of Terror.
