This Celtic celebration of Samhain ( the Lord of Death) was practiced on the 31st of October in ancient Britain, and was one of their most important holidays of the year.

People would celebrate by practicing occultist rituals, worshiping nature, and chanting mystical incantations believed to assist the dead with entering the bodies of animals. The ancient Druids, the priests of the day, were eager to pray and sacrifice so that the souls of these wretched dead would somehow be spared some of their pain.
October 31st, Halloween, was the day dead souls were to revisit their past homes and families. It was when witches, demons, and ghosts were said to be wandering the streets of the living. This meant that the living needed to appease these unnatural spirits; they did this by dressing up as spirits themselves in hopes of making the unnatural feel at home.

Until the Old Irish Catholics re-introduced this pagan holiday in the 20th century, it had almost been forgotten. Slowly it began to catch on, especially among the witches who began their coven meetings with many of the chants and incantations practiced by the ancient Druids. Many of our traditional Halloween stuff has its roots in death, ignorance, and deception.

I must admit, as a child, Halloween was one of my favorite days of the year. For children, dressing up like monsters and ghosts is irresistible, and getting candy for it is even better. Halloween for many of us is thought to be innocent, however, that’s the smoothest form of deception. When we open our minds up to demonic forces we risk being influenced by their presence. Whenever we do things that God opposes we travel a road that is uncertain at best and full of danger.

Halloween is a time for witches, monsters, and ghosts, not the fake ones but the real deals. Halloween glorifies the occult, it gives credibility, if only for one day, to the belief that witches, monsters, and ghosts; are just make believe and can be played with. There is a real power behind all this, however, sometimes we can’t see it because it wears a mask.

Quija boards, psychics, mystics, New Agers, clairvoyants, shamans, gurus, witches, channelers, healers, Satanists, monsters, ghosts, demons, black cats, Jack-o-Lanterns; all part of the TRICK.

Fun, candy, dress-up, parties, harmless chanting, masks, demonic games, all part of the TREAT

All this can lead to severe consequences including demonic possession, satanic influence, and loss of life. There is genuine power that accompanies Halloween each year. It has the ability to change people’s lives forever, and destroy one’s soul. Satan is behind the power of all things that deny the deity of God, only sometimes he wears a MASK.
