HALOWEEN: ALL TRICKS…NO TREATS
Posted in holidays on October 31st, 2011 by dirtygurlIt’s that time of the year and Halloween is upon us. That means that CBS will be airing that Charlie Brown cartoon about Linus waiting in the pumpkin field like a damn fool, millions of dollars will be spent on overpriced costumes and candy, and women will justify dressing even more like whores as they head out to some dumb Halloween party. As for me, I’ve decided that I will not celebrate Halloween anymore. No, my children will not be attending school so that they won’t feel left out while the rest of their classmates indulge.
They will no longer be going out and begging for candy from potential pedophiles. Instead we will go out as a family the day before or after. All this Halloween hype got me to thinking what the real meaning of Halloween, and where and how it originated in the first place.
According to historians, hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, these Celtic Priests, or Druid Priests lived in what is now known as Ireland, France, England, Scotland, and Germany. It was common for these Druids to practice witchcraft, and human sacrifice.
In 47 A.D. the Romans conquered the Druids and outlawed the practice of human sacrifice, forcing remaining Druid Priests underground. Descendants of these inhumane barbarians still practice their ancestors pagan religion, and perform human sacrifices at Stonehenge in England.
It is also believed that the Catholic monks were obsessed with these Druid priests and they were allowed to become part of the Catholic monasteries, which led to the incorporation of the Druid holiday into the Catholic Church. It was Pope Gregory III who moved the festival of October 31st to November 1st, and coined it All Hallows, or All Saints Day. This is where the term Halloween comes from.
Trick or Treating originated with the Druids. They believed that on Halloween, the lord of the dead, or Sumhain would release the tormented souls upon the Earth. The sheeple of that time believed that if a suitable sacrifice wasn’t made to Sumhain, those spirits would be sent to eat them. Therefore tables of food were left for them (much as cookies are left on at the fireplace for Santa Claus) to eat, and pumpkins were carved with the faces of demons, and lit by candles from within to keep the souls at bay. The modern act of trick or treating is being repeated. Children dress up as “characters” which represent the lost souls, and those giving out candy are the sheeple making sacrifice to appease these souls. After all, who is easier to please than a child?
There have been many instances of candy being poisoned, and as I recall there was one boy who actually found a razor blade in his Three Musketeers bar, this is also no accident. Haloween is a night of human sacrifice. I’m sure that those children who are killed or harmed are seen as a ritual sacrifice to whatever demons these fools bow down to. I wouldn’t even be surprised if all of the major candy companies and manufacturers are run by the same elite families who have invented these subsidiaries to hide behind, and are responsible for adding the poison and other harmful things to the candy themselves.
In closing, if you absolutely must celebrate this pagan holiday, just be very careful and do not allow your children to go out alone.
Peace, love and truth…..
