Well, it’s been a while, but I’m back and armed with the first installment of my brand new #HalloweenExposed series! For the past few years, I’ve shared various blog posts and series showing you guys what Halloween is REALLY about. But this year, I decided to put on my instructor cap and teach you guys what it’s about!
Autumn is my most favourite time of year. The temperatures drop, the leaves turn brilliant colours, candy apples start appearing, everything turns to pumpkin spice, and eventually, my birthday! (Can’t forget Thanksgiving either!) It’s a season of definite transition. However, as much as I love this season, it is also the time for Halloween, known to the Ancient Celts as Samhain (pronounced sah-win or sow-in).
This main contents of this installment of my History of Halloween Series hails from NewGrange.com. For the four previous posts of this installment as well as others on Halloween, see here. We’ve discussed various symbols of Halloween, originally called “Samhain” (pronounced “sow-in”), but now we will discuss the celebration itself.
We’re continuing with my History of Halloween Series. If you missed the former posts on jack o’ lanterns, black cats, and broomsticks, then you can click the links and read them now. (For even more on Halloween, click here.) This time, we’re focusing on the significance of bonfires *cough* “bone fires.” And I’m featuring two separate posts this time. Dig in!
Continuing with our History of Halloween Series, we are discussing broomsticks today. This post is brought to you by PagansPath.com. I want you to hear from the mouth of a pagan herself what the history and purpose of the broom is in witchcraft and how that plays into the pagan feast of Samhain (Halloween). If you missed our first post on the history of the jack o’ lantern, you may view it here.
This is the commencement of a little series I’m doing entitled The History of Halloween. Many, even in the Church, are divided on the topic of Halloween. They say things like, “I’m not a witch, I don’t worship Satan, so what’s the problem?” “I don’t want my kids to feel bad or left out.” “What’s so wrong with dressing up as Disney characters and giving out candy?” Trojan horses my friends, Trojan horses. This series will uncover the various aspects of Halloween and why a Christian cannot and should not align themselves with this high, holy Day of Satan for any reason. We commence this season with breaking down the history of jack o’lanterns. To see this original post, please visit History.com.
Now that we’ve dealt with Jezebel’s parents, Baal and the Queen of Heaven, and met her three personalities, Delilah, Herod, and Absalom, we shall now deal with her two older siblings, starting with Perversion. Perversion is the eldest child born of Baal and Asherah (the Queen of Heaven, also known as Ashtoreth, Astarte, Ishtar, Isis, the Triple/Mother Goddess, etc.). But to understand this spirit, we must first understand his natural expression, Tammuz.
By now, between my first, second, and third posts about Halloween as well as a guest post by my friend Jennifer LeClaire, you have more than enough biblical reasoning on why to NOT celebrate Halloween. So with that in mind, here are 1o concise truths about Halloween that should bring it home to you. Enjoy & Happy Reformation Day!
Well, it’s almost that time again! Time for witches and wizards; spiders and webs; goblins, ghouls, ghosts, oh my! Halloween decor almost seems like it’s everywhere present. But should Christians even celebrate Halloween? Let’s start with the history to build our case.
