THE ORIGIN OF "TRICK OR TREAT"
The Celts tried to appease the evil spirits: ghosts,
goblins, and demons. Huge "Samhain" bonfires were built
to light the way for all the spirits to find their way
in to the world of the living. They would leave out
food, hoping that this would please the spirit world. If
they did not leave a thing, then hence, the spirits
would play evil "tricks" on the living in that house.
The Druids required human sacrifices, they would go door
to door asking for the virgin daughters. If this was not
obtained at the chosen homes, then a hexagram was
painted on the door in blood to show the appointed evil
spirits to cause all kinds of evil to fall on the home.
In some cases, even resulted in death.
THE ORIGIN OF "BOBBING FOR APPLES"
Romans honored the dead with a festival called Feralia
in late October. It honored Pomona, their goddess of
fruit trees who was often pictured wearing a crown of
apples. During this festival, they ran races and played
games to honor the "Apple Queen" and used omens such as
apple parings thrown over the shoulder or nuts burned in
the fire in order to predict the future concerning their
marital prospects. When the Romans conquered the Celts,
they combined local Samhain customs with their own pagan
harvest festival. Bobbing for apples was derived from
this blended pagan celebration.
THE ORIGIN OF THE "BLACK CAT"
First of all cats are very spiritual animals. Out of all
the animals, the cat can sense the presence of spirits,
both good and bad. But the all black cat holds a high
significance to the witches and Satanists. The black
cat, they believe has special powers. To them they
believe the black cat represents incarnated humans,
malevolent spirits, or the "familiars" of witches. This
is why that many black cats are in danger around
Halloween. If you have a black cat, do not let them roam
the streets at night, keep them inside. Also the local
SPCA's won't even let anyone adopt a black cat around
Halloween time, in fear of the cat might be harmed.
THE ORIGIN OF THE COLORS: "ORANGE
AND BLACK"
The colors orange and black can be traced back to the
occult. They were connected to the commemorative masses
for the dead, which were held in November. The
unbleached beeswax candles used in the various
ceremonies were orange. The ceremonial caskets were
covered in black cloths. And let's not forget the
modern-day "Jack O' Lanterns" orange in color.
THE ORIGIN OF THE "COSTUMES" ON
HALLOWEEN
The huge fires atop the "sacred" hilltops in which the
Druids sacrificed animals and humans derived their name
from the skeletons of those who died in them. The words
"bone" and "fire" formed the word "bonfire." The orange
flames lit up the black night, thus the "official"
colors of Halloween. As these pagan worshipers danced
around and jumped through the fire, they wore disguises
of animal-head masks and animal-skin costumes. The head
of each household was given live embers to start a new
fire on his hearth which would last until the next
autumn. It was believed this fire would protect their
homes from danger throughout the year.
THE
ROOTS OF PAGANISM
The whole Halloween thing is steeped in paganism.
Halloween is a celebration of death and all that is
evil. By decades of letting foreigners into our land,
they have brought with them every occult practice and
all of their idols. Now because of this, our children
are suffering the consequences of the iniquities of the
third and fourth generations of witchcraft and things of
the demonic world. We as Christians are to stand up and
boldly proclaim our heritage of what this country was
founded on. This country was to be a Christian nation.
By us not speaking out, look at our country today, every
evil thing is trying to take away our freedom. |
