Happy Halloween, everyone!
Halloween is depicted in modern times as being more and more about horror and gore. The enemy throws all this in to insult Satan and scare people away from spirituality and the occult. Halloween is supposed to be about magick, witchcraft, jack-o-lanterns, broomsticks, the occult, spirit communication. Anything a bit spooky with ghosts and shivers down the spine is perfectly fine, but not the outright gore and sick horror that is pushed these days.
For those of you who are not yet dedicated to Satan, you can dedicate on Halloween. It also happens to be my dedication anniversary, 14 years. This has always been a time associated with witches, magick, the occult, and divination, so it's one of the best times of the year to dedicate to Satan.
Halloween is a great time to communicate with the Gods, get guidance from your Guardian Demon, and practice tarot, Ouija boards, or other forms of divination, meditation, and self-reflection. You can spend time reading or re-reading the JoS, to de-program your mind from false beliefs and feel a stronger connection to Satan and your GD.
Holidays are also meant to be enjoyed, so have fun dressing up and handing out candy (if your country celebrates this), or watching a Halloween-themed movie (it's recommended to not watch movies that portray Satan in a blasphemous way). You can also take some time to do a Ritual for one of our Gods, if we don't have a schedule posted yet.
A lot of people have a family tradition of eating specific candy/chocolate/cookies while watching a movie they've seen as a child. My mother used to make cookies that were shaped and colored like jack-o-lanterns, they tasted awful but we ate them anyway because Halloween just wasn't the same without them, lol.
This Halloween in particular happens to be the day before a New Moon in Scorpio. So the following day, November 1, you can begin a new change in your life, or work towards some sort of transformation. Perhaps change up your daily routine a bit, rethink your priorities, strive towards something important to you.
