Occult Holidays and Sabbats

As we have repeatedly stated, the Satanist believes that numbers contain inherent
power. Thus, they literally order their lives by occult numerology - such numerology also
is a key component in astrology, another system of divining that Satanists observe very
closely. The occult calendar is divided into four (4) segments of 13 weeks each.

The number, "13" is considered divine by the occultist for a couple of reasons:

1. The Bible assigns '13' the meaning of "rebellion against constituted authority", plus the
depravity that caused Satan to rebel against God.

2. The occultist assigns '6' to represent the number of man, and the number '7' to
represent the number of divine perfection. Thus, as a person climbs that "Jacob's
Ladder" toward self-perfection in the realm of the occult, the number '13' represents the
state of divine perfection, self-achieved perfection, and Illumination (6+7 = 13).

Thus, the occult calendar is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks each. We list these
periods for you, below.

Then, after listing them, we shall come back to talk about each of them in detail.

1. Winter Solstice - 13 weeks - Minor sabbath

a. December 21 - Yule

b. December 21-22 - Winter Solstice/Yule. One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

c. February 1 and 2 - Candlemas and Imbolg, a.k.a. Groundhog's Day. One of the
Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights
d. February 14 - Valentine's Day

2. Spring Equinox - 13 weeks - Minor sabbath but does require human sacrifice

a. March 21-22 - Goddess Ostara - Note: Easter is the first Sunday after the first new
moon after Ostara. March 21 is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

b. April 1 - All Fool's Day, precisely 13 weeks since New Year's Day!

c. April 19 - May 1 - Blood Sacrifice To The Beast. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19.

d. April 30 - May 1 - Beltaine Festival, also called Walpurgis Night. This is the highest
day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar. May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred
holiday. Human sacrifice is required

3. Summer Solstice - 13 weeks - When the sun reaches its northernmost point in its
journey across the sky

a. June 21 - 22 - Summer Solstice

b. June 21 - Litha is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

c. July 4, America's Independence Day, is 13 days after Day of Litha and 66 days from
April 30

d. July 19 - 13 days before Lughnasa

e. July 31 - August 1 - Lughnasa, Great Sabbat Festival. August - One of the Illuminati's
Human Sacrifice Nights

4. Autumnal Equinox - 13 weeks - Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice

a. September 21 - Mabon - one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

b. September 21 -22 - Autumnal Equinox

c. October 31 - Samhain, also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve. This date is the
Illuminati's highest day of human sacrifice

Isn't it interesting how the "profane" - you and me - are led like a flock of sheep to
observe the important festival days of the Mysteries' Religion?

You may not understand that you are ordering your year after pagan holidays, but you
are! The annual calendar for the entire Western world is ordered by these Satanic
festival times and days.
Now that we have seen the entire occult calendar, let us go back to the significant
holidays to see how the Western world has slipped into a worship of the same pagan
holidays and are using many of the same pagan symbols that are so important to the
pagan worshipper.

The human sacrifice required during many of these occult dates needs to contain the
following elements, each one of which is exaggerated to the highest possible degree:

1. Trauma, stress, and mental anguish, sheer terror

2. The final act in the drama should be destruction by a fire; preferably a conflagration.

3. People must die as human sacrifices, especially children, since Lord Satan looks
upon a younger human sacrifice as his most desirable

SPECIFIC DATES WITHIN...

THE OCCULT CALENDAR

1. Winter Solstice - 13 weeks

a. December 21- 22

-- Yule - When the sun begins its northward trek in the sky, and days began to grow
longer again, pagans celebrated the Winter Solstice by burning the Yule log.

Since the sun had reversed itself and was now rising in the sky, pagans believed this
was a sign that the human sacrifices carried out in Samhain (Halloween) had been
accepted by the gods.
We continue to sing:

"Deck the halls with boughs of holly ... troll the ancient Yuletide carol ... See the blazing
Yule before us. Fa la la la la la la la."

["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", David Ingraham, p. 71]

The Roman Catholic Church later changed the day of celebration to December 25,
calling it Christmas.

Consider the pagan roots of our popular symbols of Christmas:

(1) Christmas Tree - The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids believed the spirit of their
gods resided in the tree. Most ancient pagans knew the tree represented Nimrod
reincarnated into Tammuz! Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol.

(2) Star - Pentalpha, the five-pointed star. The pentalpha is a powerful symbol of Satan,
second only to the hexagram. The star is the sacred symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing
whatsoever to do with Christianity.

(3) Candles represent the sun-gods' newly-born fire. Pagans the world over love and use
candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Certain colors are also thought to represent
specific powers. The extensive use of candles is usually a very good indication that the
service is pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be.

(4) Mistletoe is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan blessings of fertility;
thus, kissing under the mistletoe is the first step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also
use the white berries in potions.

(5) Wreaths are circular, and so they represent the female sexual organs. Wreaths are
associated with fertility and the "circle of life".

(6) Santa Claus - Former Satanists have told me that "Santa" is an anagram for "Satan".
In the New Age, the god, "Sanat Kamura", is most definitely an anagram for "Satan". The
mythical attributes and powers ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by
Jesus Christ.

(7) Reindeer are horned animals representing the "horned-god" or the "stag-god" of
pagan religion! Santa's traditional number of reindeer in his team is eight (8); in Satanic
gematria, eight is the number of "new beginnings", or the cycle of reincarnation. The
Illuminati views the number "eight" as a symbol of their New World Order.

(8) Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa's (Satan's) little helpers. They are also
demons.

(9) Green and Red are the traditional colors of the season, as they are the traditional
pagan colors of winter. Green is Satan's favorite color, so it is appropriate it should be
one of the traditional colors for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan's
highest form of sacrifice - for this reason, Communism adopted red as it main color!

(10) December 25 is known as the "nativity" of the sun. This date is the birthday of
Tammuz, the son, the reincarnation of the sun god. Traditionally, December 21 is known
as Yule. The Roman Catholic Church moved the celebration of Yule to December 25.

(11) December 25 is also known to the Romans as "Saturnalia", a time of deliberate

debauchery. Drinking through repeated toasting - known as 'wassail' - was a key to the
debauchery of this celebration. Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the
entire event was finished with a Great Feast, the Christmas Dinner.

(12) Even the name, "Christmas" is pagan! "Christi" meant "Christ", while "Mas" meant
Mass. Since all pagan Masses are commemorating "death", the name, "Christmas"
literally means the "death of Christ". A deeper meaning lies in the mention of "Christ"
without specifying Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans celebrate
"Christmas" as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who will deal a death blow to the
Jesus Christ of Christianity.

Early American Christian Pilgrims refused to celebrate this day.

b. February 1 and 2

-- Candlemas and Imbolg, popularly called Groundhog's Day.

The popular "Punxsutawney Phil" groundhog comes out of his burrow to divine the next
few weeks of weather. If he sees his shadow, we will have 6 more weeks of bad weather
until Spring finally arrives; if he does not see his shadow, the next 7 weeks before Spring
will be good weather. Notice this pagan tradition features both the number '6' and '7',
which when added, equals '13'.

What most people do not realize is that the pagan view of Groundhog's Day (Imbolg)
represents the Earth Mother.

Consider these uncanny parallels between the Groundhog and the Earth Mother:

1. As the Earth goddess sleeps inside the earth during the winter season, so does the
Groundhog

2. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog bridge the two time periods: Winter and
Spring

3. Both the goddess and the Groundhog are "earth" creatures

4. Both the goddess and the Groundhog "awaken" in Springtime

5. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog complete the "cycle of reincarnation"

6. Annually, both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog represent the cycle of "rebirth"
and "renewal"

The name, "Groundhog" was substituted for the Satanic name of the holiday, Imbolg, a
night requiring human sacrifice.
c. February 14

Valentine's Day - is a pagan festival that encourages love and physical lust.

It is celebrated precisely 13 days after Imbolg, thus imprinting upon it the number '13',
Satan's number of extreme rebellion. While most people view this day as the day to
honor your wife or your lover, this celebration is steeped in paganism

Consider the camouflaged occult gods in Valentine's Day:

1. Cupid, the son of Venus, is really Tammuz, son of Semiramis

2. Venus, daughter of Jupiter, is really Semiramis herself. Jupiter is the head deity, a sun
god - Nimrod, Semiramis' husband, is considered a sun god in the Babylonian Mysteries.

Listen to a pagan author describe February, the month in which Valentine's Day falls.

"The name of this month comes from the Roman goddess Februa and St. Febronia
(from Febris, the fever of love). She is the patroness of the passion of love ... Her
orgiastic rites are celebrated on 14 February - still observed as St. Valentine's Day -
when, in Roman times, young men would draw billets naming their female partners...

This is a time of clear vision into other worlds, expressed by festivals of purification. On 1
February is the celebration of the cross-quarter day, or fire festival (Imbolc) a purificatory
festival. It is followed on the 2nd by its Christian counterpart, Candlemas, the purification
of the Virgin Mary."

["The Pagan Book of Days", Nigel Pennick]

Valentine's Day is a day of "orgiastic rites" in which the pagans encouraged the flow of
lustful passion.

2. Spring Equinox - 13 weeks

Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice

a. March 21-22

Goddess Ostara (Ishtar, also spelled, "Eostre"), for whom "Easter" is named - March 21
is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

Easter is a shifting date using the common practice of Astrology; it is celebrated on the
first Sunday after the first new moon after Ostara.

This date also has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Rather,
this day in the pagan tradition celebrates the return of Semiramis into her reincarnated
form of the Spring Goddess. The pagans even have an equivalent to our Good Friday! It
is "Easter Friday", and has historically been timed to be the third full moon from the start
of the year. Since the marrying of pagan Easter to Jesus' resurrection, Good Friday is
permanently fixed on the Friday prior to Easter.

Easter is steeped in the Babylonian Mysteries, the single most evil idolatrous system
ever invented by Satan!

All throughout the prophetic Scriptures, we see God declaring His final judgment upon
wicked Babylon! Yet, every year, Christian pastors intone "Easter" as though it were
Christian. Many Independent Baptist preachers have begun referring to this day
celebrating Jesus' resurrection as "Resurrection Sunday", in order to separate the day
from the pagan celebration.

The Babylonian goddess, Ishtar, is the one for whom Easter is named; ["Pagan
Traditions of Holidays", p. 9] in reality, she was Semiramis, wife of Nimrod, and the real
founder of the Satanic Babylonian Mysteries. After Nimrod died, Semiramis created the
legend that he was really her Divine Son born to her in a Virgin Birth. She is considered
to be the co-founder of all occult religions, along with Nimrod.

Easter - the day of Ishtar - is celebrated widely among various cultures and religions on
earth.
 1. Babylon - Ishtar (Easter) also called the Moon Goddess

2. Catholics - Virgin Mary (Queen of Heaven)

3. Chinese - Shingmoo

4. Druids - Virgo Paritura

5. Egypt - Isis

6. The Pagan Ephesians - Dianna

7. Etruscans - Nutria

8. Germans (Ancient) - Hertha

9. Greeks - Aphrodite/Ceres

10. India - Isi/Indrani

11. Ancient Jews - Ashtaroth (Queen of Heaven)

12. Krishna - Devaki

13. Rome - Venus/Fortuna

14. Scandinavians - Disa

15. Sumerians - Nana

["America's Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis and Sam Pollard]

The Babylonians celebrated the day as the return of Ishtar (Easter), the goddess of
Spring.

This day celebrated the rebirth, or reincarnation, of Nature and the goddess of Nature.
According to Babylonian legend, a huge egg fell from heaven, landing in the Euphrates
River. The goddess, Ishtar (Easter) broke out of this egg. Later, the feature of an egg
nesting was introduced, a nest where the egg could incubate until hatched. A "wicker" or
reed basket was conceived in which to place the Ishtar egg.

The Easter Egg Hunt was conceived because, if anyone found her egg while she was
being "reborn", she would bestow a blessing upon that lucky person! Because this was a
joyous Spring festival, eggs were colored with bright Spring colors. [Ibid.]
The Easter Bunny

"The Goddess' totem, the Moon-hare, would lay eggs for good children to eat... Eostre's
hare was the shape that Celts imagined on the surface of the full moon..."

["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p. 10.]

Do not bother to tell me that bunnies do not lay eggs, for I know that; we are dealing with
a legend here, and an occult legend at that. These types of legends traditionally play
loose and fast with facts.

Thus, "Easter" - Eostre, or Ishtar - was a goddess of fertility. Since the bunny is a
creature that procreates quickly, it symbolized the sexual act; the egg symbolized "birth"
and "renewal". Together, the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg symbolizes the sex act and
its offspring, Semiramis and Tammuz.

Thus, it is a very serious spiritual matter, indeed, when christian churches incorporate
"Resurrection Eggs" as part of their Easter celebration. At the very least, these churches
are confusing the minds of their precious young children, by blurring the dividing line
between pagan symbols and their meanings and Christian meanings of Resurrection
Day. Young children who participated in "Resurrection Eggs" in church will be
conditioned later in their life to accept the fullness of the pagan tradition revolving around
the same symbols.

At worst, a church participating in the pagan Easter tradition by promoting "Resurrection

Eggs" and perhaps an Easter Egg Hunt, is guilty of combining Christianity with
paganism, the very lethal cocktail the Lord Jesus will always reject!

Remember our key verse:

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch
not the unclean thing"

If your church has "Resurrection Eggs", that is a church you should consider leaving
immediately; if the Senior Pastor is Liberal enough to use "Resurrection Eggs" in his
Resurrection Day celebrations, he is probably Liberal in Doctrine and Theology, but may
not be far enough along for you to see it yet.
Other Pagan Ingredients

Easter Offerings are derived from the tradition where the priests and priestesses would
bring offerings to the pagan temples for Easter.

They brought freshly-cut Spring flowers and candies to place on the altar of the idol they
worshipped. They would also bake Hot Cross Buns, decorating them with crosses
symbolizing the cross of Wotan, or some other pagan god; these crosses were not
originally the cross of Jesus Christ.

This is another instance where Satan counterfeited a pagan tradition that could later be
passed off as "Christian" in a church seriously compromised by Syncretization.

In fact, the first instance of Hot Cross Buns can be traced back to about 1,500 BC, to
Cecrops, the Founder of Athens [Marquis, p. 18] Later pagans used not just the shape of
a Pentalpha star, but also the Hot Cross Bun.

Another popular Easter offering were freshly made or purchased clothes! The priests
would wear their best clothes, while the Vestal Virgins would wear newly-made white
dresses. They would also wear headgear, like bonnets, while many would adorn
themselves in garlands of Spring flowers. They would carry wicker baskets filled with
foods and candies to offer to the pagan gods and goddesses.

Easter Sunrise Services were originated by the priest serving the Babylonian Ishtar to
symbolically hasten the reincarnation of Ishtar/Easter. Once again, we see how Satan
knew that Jesus' rising from the grave would be discovered in the early sunrise hours,
and that the Christian Church would want to hold Sunrise Services to celebrate.

Satan and his demons know and believe God's Word and its prophecies literally, and
they are allowed a certain amount of foreknowledge. Just as Satan counterfeited the
Divine birth of a male child to a Virgin Mother fully 1,000 years before Jesus was actually
born, so he counterfeited this Sunrise Service.
Lent is purely pagan, and yet has been accepted by the Roman Catholic Church and
apostate christian churches as "christian". If the church you are attending celebrates
Lent, you need to inform the Senior Pastor of the pagan roots of this tradition; if he will
not listen you should leave that church, for if they will accept Lent as "Christian", you can
bet they are very Liberal in critical Biblical areas as well.

Lent is a commemoration of Tammuz' death; the legend of his death says that he was
killed by a wild boar when he was 40 years old. Therefore, Lent celebrates 1 day for
each year of Tammuz' life. [Marquis, "America's Occult Holidays"] Participants are to
express their sorrow over Tammuz' untimely death by weeping, fasting, and self-
chastisement.

Lent was commemorated for exactly 40 days prior to the celebration of Ishtar/Esotre and
other goddesses by the following cultures: Babylonians, Roman Catholics, Koordistan,
Mexicans, Ancient Israel, and today, Liberal, apostate Protestant churches.

We can see God's anger over this commemoration of Lent in Ezekiel 8:14-18; God's
judgment for this commemoration is described in Ezekiel 9, a chapter we suggest you
read carefully, for God has stated that He will similarly punish any nation who does not
"hear and obey" His commands (Jeremiah 12:17).

b. April 1

- All Fool's Day, precisely 13 weeks since New Year's Day!

c. April 19 - May 1

- Blood Sacrifice To The Beast, a most critical 13-day period. Fire sacrifice is required on
April 19.

April 19 is the first day of the 13-day Satanic ritual day relating to fire - the fire god, Baal,
or Molech/Nimrod (the Sun God), also known as the Roman god, Saturn (Satan/Devil).
This day is a major human sacrifice day, demanding fire sacrifice with an emphasis on
children. This day is one of the most important human sacrifice days, and as such, has
had some very important historic events occur on this day.

Remember, the Illuminati considers war to be a most propitious way to sacrifice, for it
kills both children and adults.

Some of the very important historic dates that were staged according to this blood
sacrifice day are:

(1). April 19, 1775 - Battle of Lexington & Concord, which made the Masonic-led
Revolutionary War inevitable

(2). April 19, 1943 - After trapping the last Jewish Resistance Fighters in a storm drain in
Warsaw, and holding them for several days, Nazi Storm Troopers began to pour fire into
each end of the storm drain, using flame-throwers. They continued pouring the fire into
the drain until all fighters were dead. Blood sacrifice brought about by a fiery
conflagration.

(3) April 19, 1993 - 50 years later, to the day, government troops, tanks, and other
military equipment stormed the compound of David Koresh and his followers at Waco,
Texas. Certainly, this operation fulfilled the basic requirements for a human sacrifice:
trauma, fire, and young sacrificial victims.

(4) April 19, 1995 - Oklahoma City bombing - Once again, many young children were
killed this day

April 19 of any year in the 20th Century is a day of fearful contemplation, for it seems
that, as we head into the final stretch of time, Satan is becoming more and more bold,
and is using April 19 more often.

d. April 30 - May 1

- Beltaine Festival, also called "Walpurgis Night".

This is the highest day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar, while May 1 is the Illuminati's
second most sacred holiday. Human sacrifice is required. Since the celebration officially
began the night before Beltaine, the tradition has developed among occultists to
celebrate Beltaine as a 2-day ceremony. This tradition was strong enough that Adolf
Hitler decided to kill himself on April 30 at 3:30pm, thus creating a "333" and placing his
suicide sacrifice within the Beltaine time frame.

Great bonfires are lit on the Eve of Beltaine, April 30, in order to welcome the Earth
Goddess. Participants hope to gain favor with this goddess so she will bless their
families with procreative fertility. We find it interesting that the Royal House of Windsor
lights a Beltaine "Balefire" every year ["America's Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis, p. 30]

The "Maypole" originated from the celebration of Beltaine. Since fertility is being asked
of the Earth Goddess, the Maypole is the phallic symbol and the circular dance around
the pole forms the circle that is symbolic of the female sex organ.

Four six-foot alternating red and white ribbons were connected to the pole; the men
would dance counterclockwise, while the ladies danced clockwise. The union of the
intertwining red and white ribbons symbolized the act of copulation - remember, this is a
"fertility" celebration day!

To demonstrate their occult, Illuminist ties, Communists have always celebrated "May
Day". If you have not been taught how the Illuminati created Communism, and for which
purpose, you need to hear our Seminar 2, "America Determines The Flow of History".

3. Summer Solstice - 13 weeks

When the sun reaches its northernmost point in its journey across the sky

a. June 21 - 22 - Summer Solstice

b. June 21 - Litha is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

c. July 4, America's Independence Day, is 13 days after Day of Litha and 66 days from
April 30
d. July 19 - 13 days before Lughnasa

e. July 31 - August 1 - Lughnasa, Great Sabbat Festival. August - One of the Illuminati's
Human Sacrifice Nights

4. Autumnal Equinox - 13 weeks

Minor Sabbath but does require human sacrifice

a. September 21

Mabon - one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

b. September 21 -22 - Autumnal Equinox

From this date through Halloween, occultists believe the veil separating the earthly
dimension from the demonic realm gets progressively thinner, with the thinnest night
being October 31; this thinning of the separating veil makes it easier for the demonic
realm to enter the earthly dimension.

Thus, on Halloween, evil spirits, ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black cats, fairies, and
demons of all sorts were believed to be running amok across the land. They had to be
back in their spiritual dimension before midnight, Halloween, for the separating veil
would then get thicker.

Once again, I reiterate, this is occult belief, not mine! October is a most propitious month
to the Illuminati.

c. October 31 - Samhain

Also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve as designated by the Catholic Church.
This date is the Illuminati's highest day of human sacrifice
Halloween has been changed over the past 30 years in two important ways. First,
children have been encouraged to participate by donning such inoffensive costumes as
Barbie, Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman. Secondly, adult costuming and parties
have reached a tremendous apex and has become a most macabre day of celebration.

Historically, Halloween is the deadliest holiday ever celebrated in human history. This
Satanic night is dedicated to the Celtic Lord of the Dead, also symbolized by the Horned-
god and the Stag-god. The Druids celebrated Samhain as a 3-day fire festival, building
huge bonfires, thought to ward off demons that roamed around; additionally, the fires
provided the means by which the required human sacrifice would be presented to the
sun god. In enormous wicker baskets, the priests caged both human and animal
sacrifices, which they then lowered into the flames.

The priests would carefully watch the manner in which the victim died in order to predict
whether the future held good or evil. ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", p. 71]

Origin of Popular Halloween Traditions

Sweets and Trick or Treat

This pagan practice is over 2,000 years old. For the sake of their safety and well-being,
people put outside their home sweets, the best mutton legs, vegetables, eggs, and
poultry, honey and even wine, so the wandering evil spirits would consume them on their
way back to the netherworld. Failure to "treat" these evil spirits might result in a curse
being put on the home!

The people literally believed that, when these spirits came to your door, they would trick
you if you did not treat them.

"The American version of Halloween came from Ireland ... The potato famine in 1840
brought thousands of immigrants from the Emerald Isle. With them came goblins, jack-0-
lanterns, bonfires, apples, nuts, and pranks ...

The Irish are also responsible for bringing trick or treating to great popularity in America.
In Ireland on October 31, peasants went from house to house to receive offerings to their
Druid god, Muck Olla. This procession stopped at each house to tell the farmer his
prosperity was due to the benevolence of Muck Olla ... or else misfortune might befall
the farmer and his crops.

Few farmers risked any such displeasure of the pagan deity, so the procession returned
home with eggs, butter, potatoes, and in some cases, coins ... To the Irish farmers this
was no joke; they greatly feared the Celtic god might destroy their homes and barns ...
Trick or treat is part of this pagan heritage."

["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays". p. 78-79].

Horrifying Costumes

People would also take burning wisps from the bonfire and wave them around to frighten
the many evil spirits roaming the earth; in case the burning wisp alone would not work,
revelers clothed themselves in the most hideous and terrifying costumes.

These people believed that, if you dressed in a terrifying costume and went trooping
around with the spirits all night, they would think you were one of them and would leave
you alone.

["Halloween and Satanism", Phil Philips, p. 26-27]

Huge Bonfires

Satan's obsession with fire has produced human obsession with building huge bonfires.
As we stated earlier, these bonfires were practical, in that they provided the means by
which the priests sacrificed the human and animal sacrifices so crucial to Halloween.

When the last fires died out, people would race each other down the hills shouting,

"The Devil gets the last one down".

[Philips, p. 27-28]

Divinations

Samhain (Halloween) was also the time to engage the Devil's assistance in divining the
future. Questions concerning marriage, luck, health, and the time of one's death were
most popular subjects of divination.

In Scotland, young people assembled for games and pulled shoots out of the ground to
ascertain which of them would marry during the coming year, and in what order the
marriages should occur.

Snap Apple Night

Apples have long been a token of love and fertility. At Halloween parties, people bobbed
for apples in tubs of water. If a boy came up with an apple between his teeth, he was
assured of the love of his girl. The Snap Apple game was one in which the boys
delighted. Each boy, in his turn, would spring up to attempt to bite an apple that was
being twirled on the end of a stick; the first boy to succeed would be the first to marry.

Apple seeds were also used to tell fortunes. Peeling an apple in one long piece was
supposed to tell a young girl about her future. The girl would swing the apple peal three
times around her head, then throw it over her left shoulder.

If the peeling fell unbroken, the girl would examine the shape into which it fell to see if
she could ascertain the initials of her future husband!

Witch's Familiar Spirits

Owls, bats, cats and toads are an essential part of Halloween, and for a very good
reason: they are known as "the witch's familiars". A divining familiar was the species of
animal whose shape Satan would assume to aid the witch in divining the future. A witch
would closely watch the animal's movements - whether slow or fast - and she would see
the direction in which the animal moved and the kinds of sounds it made, in order to
foretell the length of life and/or an impending illness.

Other "familiar spirit" shapes include hens, geese, small dogs, rats, butterflies, wasps
crickets, and snails. Witches considered these creatures to be demon-possessed and
controlled. If you look closely at most Halloween decorations, you will see these animals,
but now you know they represent demon possessed creatures! ["Pagan Traditions of
Holidays", p. 75-76]

Jack-O-Lantern and Trick-or-Treat

Various names for Jack-O-Lantern were 'Lantern Men', 'Hob-O-Langer', and "Will-O-The-
Wisp".

The 'Lantern Men' got their name from pale eerie lights that appeared over bogs and
marshes in England. These ghostly lights, which bobbed along like a lantern in
someone's hand, were called 'Corpse Candles'. Candles were said to be signals from
the souls of men lost at sea.

["Halloween and Satanism", Philips, p. 33-34]

Celts often hollowed out a turnip and carved a grotesque face on it to fool demons. They
carried such lanterns to light their way in the dark and to ward off evil spirits ... While the
turnip continues to be popular in Europe today, the pumpkin has replaced it in America.
'Jack' is a nickname for 'John', which is a common slang word meaning 'man'. Jack-O-
Lanterns literally means 'man with a lantern'.

[Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", p. 79-80]

Druid Trick-or-Treat

The Druids originated the practice of hollowing out the Jack-O-Lanterns and filling them
with human fat. Whenever a raiding party came to a home to demand of the husband
that someone inside be surrendered as a human sacrifice, they would light a Jack-O-
Lantern filled with human fat; if the husband relented and provided one of his loved ones
as a sacrifice, the Druid party would leave Jack-O-Lantern on the porch.

This lantern would be tell the other raiding parties and the demonic host that this party
had surrendered a human for sacrifice and that the remaining people inside were to be
left alone. Guaranteeing that no one else in the house would be killed that night was the
"Treat".

If the husband refused to surrender one of his loved ones, a "Trick" would be placed
upon the house. The members of the raiding party would draw a large hexagram using
human blood on the front door; they got the blood for the hexagram from a dead body
they dragged around with them using a cabletow.

The demonic host would be attracted to this hexagram and would invade the house,
causing one or more of the inhabitants to either go insane or die from fright.

["America's Occult Holidays", p. 20]

This is the true origin of "Trick-or-Treat" and the Jack-O-Lantern. Do you really want to
take your kids "Trick-or-Treating"?

Forbidden Practices Specially Associated With Halloween

God lists Satanic practices that He absolutely forbids, on the pain of death!

Every one of them is uniquely associated with Halloween!

1. Enchantment - Act of influencing by charms and incantation using the practice of

magical arts.

2. Witchcraft - Dealing with demonic spirits, using their prescribed methods, commonly
called rituals and the "magick arts". The Bible forbids it, as in Galatians 5:19-20. Today,
thanks to "Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, witchcraft is skyrocketing in
popularity. TV shows that depict witches are "Bewitched" and "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer", to just mention a couple. Go to a video store sometime and walk down the
"Horror" aisle, where you will see the popularity of Witchcraft in America today.

3. Sorcery - Use of power gained from the prescribed rituals demanded by the demonic
host. Once the witch or wizard performs the particular ritual correctly, the demonic host
is required to provide the power to accomplish that action desired by the witch.

4. Divination - Fortune telling and seeing into the future. God wants us to trust in Him
and His power, and not worry about tomorrow. Satan, on the other hand, loves to get
people consumed by the idea that they can know what lies ahead of them.

5. Wizardry - The art or practices of a wizard, sorcery. A wizard or witch is one skilled in
the magick arts, a sorcerer.

6. Necromancy - Communication with the dead. Specifically, conjuring up the spirits of

the dead for purposes of magically revealing the future or influencing the course of
events.

7. Charm - The practice of putting a spell on someone in order to change or control their
mind and/or behavior. Wizards love to get their enemies "one-on-one" because they can
"charm" them through the use of ritual done before the meeting, and by the demonic
host residing within him.

Adolf Hitler followed this practice closely as he dealt with the leaders of Europe, Britain,
and Russia. British Prime Minister Chamberlain was totally charmed by Hitler as he
sought to appease the German dictator in Munich in 1938; Chamberlain was so totally
"charmed" by Hitler, he enthusiastically proclaimed after returning from Munich that he
had achieved "peace in our time".

When dealing with a powerful member of the Illuminati, do not attempt to meet with him,
nor place any confidence in the testimony of people who have met with him. A "charm"
ritual is easily performed and results in the leader exuding confidence, character, and
sincerity they most assuredly do not possess.

8. Stargazing or Astrology - Divination of the supposed influence of the stars and other
heavenly bodies upon human lives and the affairs of nations. Occultists literally order
their lives according to Astrology and numerics.
9. Soothsaying - foretelling events and prophesying through a spirit other than the Holy
Spirit.

10. Prognostication - To foretell from signs and symptoms, also prophesying without the
Holy Spirit.

11. Magic - Tapping into the power of the demonic realm through the use of prescribed
ritual so that the action carried out is accomplished through demonic power.

All these activities are uniquely associated with the activities and traditions of Halloween!

Christians have no business participating in Halloween. To do so is to act against a great

number of Scriptures in which God uses the strongest possible language to forbid it. In
fact, in most instances, God decreed that people practicing these activities be put to
death!

Yet, we see many churches having Halloween parties in which many of these pagan
practices are followed! The Apostle Paul gave us strong warning that should stop us
dead in our tracks.

Listen:

"Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath
of God upon the children of disobedience."

Ephesians 5:6

Stop listening to people giving you "empty excuses and groundless arguments for these
sins", for if you go ahead and participate in this most evil holiday, God shall surely not
look away.

One final note on Halloween: if you have been paying attention, you will know that these
practices form the heart and soul of the Harry Potter novels and movies. Harry Potter is
a wizard, and he comes from a family of witches and wizards [Generational Witchcraft].

His entire existence within these novels revolves around the Hogwarts School of
Wizardry and Witchcraft, where Harry and his friends learn all of these 11 forbidden
practices.
