Halloween
 

I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY OF YOU WERE CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN AND HAVE YOU STUDIED IN DEPTH WHAT THAT HOLIDAY IS REALLY CELEBRATING AND SYMBOLIZING?

DID YOU KNOW HALLOWEEN IS THE FIRST DAY OF A WICKENS YEAR?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SYMBOLS OF HALLOWEEN ARE AND WHAT THEY REPRESENT?

EVEN THE COLORS HAVE A MEANING.

BLACK AND ORANGE-BONFIRE COLORS AND REPRESENTATION OF THE HUMAN SACRIFICES FOR THE WORSHIP OF EVIL SPIRITS.

TRICK OR TREAT-PREPARATION OF GOODS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PREPARING THERE HOMES FOR THE SPIRITS, IF NOT TREATED THE HOME SHOULD BE CURSED.

BLACK CAT-THE WITCH GODDESS, DIANA, SHE BECOMES A BLACK CAT WHEN SHE GOES TO HAVE SEX WITH THE DEVIL.

THE BROOM STICK-KIND OF SYMBOLIZES THE MALE PENIS AND IS RIDEN TO BRING UP THE DEAD, ALL DEAD THINGS MUST RISE. AND TO GET THE LIMP MALE PENIS TO RISE IT IS RIDEN. (WITCHES USE NATURE TO DO THERE WORKS).

DID YOU KNOW REBELLION IS THE ROOT OF ALL WITCHCRAFT?

THIS IS NOT TO DOWN THE WICKEN BELIEFS BUT TO LET THOSE WHO ARE SUPPORTING SUCH KNOW WHAT IT TRULY MEANS.

THAT BLOOD IS OFF MY HANDS USE THE INTERNET TO DO YOUR RESEARCH KNOW WHAT YOU TRULY ARE CELEBRATING.
THERE ARE FAR MORE THINGS I COULD TELL BUT THOSE WERE JUST A FEW SO THAT YOU COULD KNOW.

Thanks for the information!

HALLOWEEN
 

YOU ARE WELCOME, I'M HAPPY THAT I WAS ABLE TO REACH ANOTHER, BUT SURE TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AS WELL. IT WAS JUST A LITTLE INFO TO MAKE PEOPLE REALIZE THEY SHOULD REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE CELEBRATING.

It is ironic that this is the same year I chose to read up on Halloween and its customs. It seems that the Wiccans refer to this holiday as samhain. Death seems to be a major emphasis on the holiday. It seems important to pay respect to those who died during this year. They also focus on tying up loose ends and putting things to rest. October 31 was used because the veil between worlds is supposedly at its thinnest on that evening. I read 4 different books that focused on the subject and usually in the beginning these Wiccan authors made sure that they weren't all affiliated with Satanism and that a Satanist is a person that is ANTI-Christian and worships the devil. I found out that they actually use Goddess instead of God. What I already knew that Diana is actually a Roman Goddess of Hunt. They seem to use a particular diety to represent the Goddess and another to represent God. It seems to me that from my reading that Wicca is the faith, but people take different paths. What really did shock about how certain elements from this religion had meaning, but were shown in the christian religion as having none (i.e. colored eggs and rabbits, a yule log and mistletoe, and bunch of other stuff that seemed like more than a coincidence. Also, living in NYC gave me the opportunityI have met many people in my life living in the city (and working retail). I guess people choose their own paths so I can't judge nobody. I can't call anyone a hypocrite because everyone can try and live by the book, but we don't always do. So I say in terms Halloween people should know what they are celebrating, but don't be quick to judge. If people want to have fun on that day, do rituals (whether go or bad), go to church, or stay home and watch movies than do as you please. When it comes down to it we all have free will, but how a person uses it is entirely up to them. Well, Happy Halloween anyway and be safe.

That information was very informative, I must past in on. I never knew what the colors BLACK/ORANGE stood for in reference to Halloween. All of these years I have been taking my nieces out for Trick/Treat. It will never happen next year. I must past that wickedness on to my nieces. Again, thank you.
