HALLOWEEN / SAMHAIN
For those of us who are very close to Father Satan, we are all well aware
that he is fed up with all of the Judeo/xian claims and statements
concerning what our religion is, how we celebrate and worst of all WHAT THEY
CLAIM HE IS ALL ABOUT.
SATAN IS NOT A HALLOWEEN MONSTER
SATAN IS NOT A VAMPIRE, SPOOK OR GHOUL
SATAN DOES NOT HAVE RED HORNS AND A TAIL
SATAN IS NOT ABOUT GRAVEYARDS, GRIM REAPERS, SKELETONS OR ABOUT HORROR.
THIS TRASH COMES FROM XIANS. IT IS USED TO BLASPHEME, DENIGRATE AND RIDICULE
HIM. THE SAME GOES FOR HIS DEMONS.
For many of us, Halloween is a favorite holiday. I, myself love horror
movies and such. The point here is how these have been twisted to portray a
false and insulting image of Satan and the Original Gods (Now labeled as
"Demons").
Ask yourself how you would feel if people put on hideous masks and went out
as either you or a family member of yours or a loved one.
Father Satan should be respected on this date, not mocked by those who
believe in and honor whatever xianity dictates he is. How long do you think
someone would last going out dressed as the nazarene? Chances are, they
would be attacked by some fundie xian.
Or, if Hollywood was to produce a movie depicting the nazarene and his ilk
as hideous monsters.
Halloween is a great time for costumes, monsters and ghouls, images of death
and such. A time to be creative and indulge. It is one of our major
holidays, but the negative images denigrating Father have to go.
He is tired of it and has let the clergy know he does not approve of these
insults. For far too long, too many Satanists have gone along with the XIAN
ideas of Satan and his Demons; what the XIANS allege them to be and what
THEY claim our religion is all about, instead of seeing Satan for WHO HE
REALLY IS without all of the xian false and twisted overtones.
ABOUT SAMHAIN:
The holiday known as "Halloween" was originally called "Samhain" a Celtic
word meaning "Summer's End." In ancient times, religions were based upon
nature, where humanity lived in tune with the earth, the change of seasons
and the changes in the stars in the sky. This is the essence of Satanism;
what is natural.
The major cycles of the year and the crops were important times for
festivities, rites and celebrations. Samhain was a time of harvest and the
end of a year, a time of preparation; storing crops and preparing for the
dead of winter. The eve of November 1st was the eve of the Celtic New Year.
This holiday was a time of harvest, a time of endings, death and dying, as
plant life died and the cold set in. Samhain was also a time of honoring the
dead. The Druids built huge bonfires, which they considered sacred, in honor
of the Celtic New Year.
There was a prevailing belief in the existence of a Celtic God of the dead
known as 'Samhain". With extensive research and study accomplished by many
scholars, nearly all agree this God was non-existent.
Nearly all of the sources mentioning a diety of death known as "Samhain" are
XIAN and they have (as usual) NO legitimate references to back up their
claims.
Samhain was celebrated for centuries before the xian takeover of Pagan
holidays. To the intruding xian religion, any Gods of the old faith were
considered "evil" and therefore especially unwelcome at a time of "danger"
for the "soul of any good parishioner. " This was why xtians suppressed the
deadly rite and replaced it a day later with 'all soul's day.'"
Trick or treating originated in Ireland as beggars went door to door on
October 31st, asking for handouts. The gifts were for "Muck Olla" a God who
was said to destroy the house of anyone who was not generous.
Jack-O-Lanterns also had their origin in Ireland; named for a man named
"Jack." The story goes that Jack was a miser and when he died, he was not
allowed into heaven and he also played jokes on the Devil, so he was not
admitted into Hell either, but was doomed to walk the Earth forever. He only
had a litle lantern to light his way and this is why he came to be called
Jack-O-Lantern. Of course, the spooks, vampires and ghouls were associated
with this holiday because of the natural human fear of death and Samhain was
a holiday of death.
