18 Reasons Why I don’t celebrate Halloween
I think that you should not playfully do this
sort of thing even in joke. Japanese tend to accept anything in a lighthearted
manner. First of all, however, you need to know what this festival derives
from. It is wise not to participate in such festival with the origin of evil.
Some people talk about the danger of “Kokkurisan”
(Table-turning). This warning is quite right. It is very dangerous to
communicate with spirits of the dead playfully.
Reading the following article, you will see that Halloween derives from
Satanism accompanied by human sacrifice.
On the blog I have often warned you not to
get involved in channeling information because most of it is from the dark
forces. As it is well-known that this is a festival of the dark forces, you
should not get involved in it just for fun. People are too ignorant of
spiritual matters.

18
reasons why I don’t celebrate Halloween
31 Oct 2015
#1 I don’t want
anyone in my family to observe a holiday that
celebrates death, witchcraft and the occult. This year, millions of Americans will participate
in activities that could potentially open up a door for demonic activity.
#2 The average
American spends $74.34 on the holiday. I would rather save the money.
#3 Millions of
women use Halloween as an excuse to dress like street walkers, and millions of
men use Halloween as an excuse to act like sexual predators.
#4 Even little girls as young as three years old are being dressed up in sexually provocative
costumes. What kind of message does this send to them?
#5 Dressing up little children as ghosts, demons and
vampires is not healthy for them. In recent
years, there has been a trend to make costumes for children as hellish as possible.
#6 Originally, costumes were worn on October 31st
“to change the personality of the wearer to allow for communication with the spirit world“.
#7 In ancient Britain,
the festival known as Samhain was celebrated on October 31st. It was
supposedly a day when dead souls would revisit their old homes. Personally, I don’t want anything to do with
contacting the souls of the dead.
#8 According to the History Channel, Samhain was also the day
when the Druids “gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic
deities”.
#10 According to
Wiccans, Halloween is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is
considered to be the thinnest. They believe that on this day their god “dies”
and is reborn every year on the Winter Solstice. This year the winter
solstice falls on December 22nd.
#11 In ancient times, the resurrection of the sun god
required human and animal sacrifice. The
following is what occult expert Bill Schnoebelen says that the Druids would do at this time of the year…
Druids worshiped the sun god, called
by names like Bel (Ba’al?) or Chrom. On October 31, they believed that he died and went into the kingdom of the
dead, Anwynn. The purpose of Samhain was to insure his return. Even witches
admit this involved human sacrifice.
Both animal and human blood were
believed to be needed to resurrect Bel on Samhain. Human blood was believed to open the gates of Anwynn and released the
spirits for a night. Thus, October 31 came to be associated with ghosts. This is not just history. Samhain is still celebrated by Pagans and is the most solemn ceremony on their “religious calendar”.
#12 To this
day, animal torture and
sacrifice is still practiced on Halloween by occultists. Many animal
shelters will not
adopt out black cats during the month of October for
this very reason.
#13 In the
early seventh century, a Catholic Pope known as Gregory the First decided that
the best approach to ensure the continued spread of Catholicism was to
“christianize” existing pagan holidays and practices…
#14 The
tradition of “trick-or-treating” was one of the existing pagan traditions that was
later “Christianized”…
The idea of trick-or-treating is
further related to the ghosts of the dead in pagan, and even Catholic, history.
For example, among the ancient Druids, “The ghosts that were thought to throng
about the houses of the living were greeted with a banquet-laden table. At the
end of the feast, masked and costumed villagers representing the souls of the
dead paraded to the outskirts of town leading the ghosts away.”
As already noted, Halloween was
thought to be a night when mischievous and evil spirits roamed freely. As in
modern poltergeist lore, mischievous spirits could play tricks on the living—so
it was advantageous to “hide” from them by wearing costumes. Masks and costumes
were worn to either scare away the ghosts or to keep from being recognized by
them
#15 The tradition
of carving out a “Jack-O-Lantern” also comes from paganism. The
following comes from
wicca.com…
And as Bill
Schnoebelen has noted, pumpkins eventually replaced
turnips, but the meaning remained the same…
Here it’s a pumpkin, but in Europe
it was often a turnip, or a skull with a candle in it. This serves two symbols,
1) the lord of the Dead, a “god” just like a Buddha – in short, an idol. 2) The
fearsome face represented the god, Samhain, who would drive off less powerful
demons that night. The lights in the Jack-o-Lantern symbolize the “faery fires”
or “Will’o the Wisps” which were believed to be the lost souls flitting through
the night. They also hearken back to the huge Samhain “balefires” which were
lit to help conjure back the god from the darkness.
#16 On all Satanic
holy days, there are children that get ritually abused.
#17 For Satanists, Halloween
is one of the most important celebrations of the year. On page 96 of the
Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey wrote the following…
“After one’s own birthday, the two major Satanic holidays are Walpurgisnacht (May
1st) and Halloween.”
#18 The Scriptures are very
clear about this sort of thing. Deuteronomy 18:9-13 says the following:
“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not learn to
imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be
found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who
practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or
casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults with the dead.
Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord”.
