The Hidden History of Halloween

by Richard Evans (henrymakow.com)
I was initiated into Halloween in 1959.  I was four-years-old. My grandmother let me choose a costume at the Five and Dime. I went straight for a latex red devil mask that came with shiny red rayon cape.
When I wore the mask, I felt transformed into something more powerful than my four-year-old self.  After Halloween night, my grandmother took it away because I persisted in wearing it. Neighbors were beginning to talk. 
Years later I learned in an anthropology course that masks, chants and dancing are used to invoke spirits. “The person wearing the mask feels internally transformed and takes on temporarily the qualities of the god or demon represented by the mask” (Biedermann, Hans. Dictionary of Symbolism, p. 218).
Now I’m sick of Halloween.  I’ve become sensitive to how casually Americans watch the daily orgy of slaughter called ‘the news.’  Real blood and corpses alternate with staged violence and comedy on HDTV screens.
Now I dread the time when rubber skulls pop up on neighbor’s lawns, and   supermarkets look like they hired the set director from “the Killing Fields”.
But don’t worry.  If skulls and rotting zombies don’t turn you on, Halloween has also become about kinky sex!   How ’bout handing out candy to little girls dressed like Lady Gaga and little boys dressed in spandex tights.
At a pre-Halloween party in my neighborhood, I was dumbfounded that the children’s costumes all have GENDER BENDING themes this year.  Girls dressed like leather bikers, one was a soldier, and boys wearing fruity body stockings under the guise of ‘superheros’.
One girl was a Supreme Court justice in a black robe and tie, another girl was Suffragette wearing a banner that said “Women’s Right to Vote”.  One boy was wearing a body stocking and long hair hot pink wig – I have no idea who that was supposed to be… but it was the [most effeminate] costume I’ve ever seen on a straight kid.  The scary part is that we’ve reached the point where parents really don’t know any better but to dress their boys like fruits and the girls either slutty – or butch.
The Satanic Bible ranks Halloween as one of the two most important festivals on the Satanic calendar. 
  DATE-   CELEBRATION-        TYPE-           USAGE-                AGE

Oct 28-30	Satanist High (Holy Day related to Halloween)	blood	human sacrifice each day	any age (male or female)
Oct 30-31	All Hallows Eve and Halloween Night	blood and sexual	sexual climax, association with the demons, animal and/or human sacrifice	any age (male or female and/or animal)
Nov 1	Satanist High (Holy Day related to Halloween)	blood	human sacrifice	any age (male or female)

The second “holiest” time is May Day, the Communist-Satanist founding day.
DATES TO ROMAN TIMES 
My grandmother explained that Halloween is part of our family heritage. It was the ancient harvest festival called Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”).   It came from the old religion of the Druids, and she showed me a picture of Stonehenge in an old encyclopedia.
Julius Caesar described the Druid Samhain harvest festival in ‘The Gallic Wars’.  He described the Druids as a theocracy that enslaved the peasant population through terror.  The joy of harvest festival was combined with mass human sacrifices, when thousands of men, women and children were burned alive in giant ‘Wicker Man’ structures.

First century Roman historian Strabo recorded in his “Geography”:
“The Romans put a stop both to these customs and to the ones connected with sacrifice and divination, as they were in conflict with our own ways.”
So it was the Romans – not the Christians – that broke up the Druid theocracy.    A few centuries after the Druids demise, the Roman Empire collapsed and was replaced by the Roman Church, that in turn Christianized most of the festivals.  The Samhain belief that spirits of the dead and demons roam the nights of the Harvest Festival became “All Saints Day”.
The masked and cloaked Druid priests of old were replaced with peasant in masks and costumes. Instead of demanding a family member in return for magical protection from spirits, the Christianized visitor asked for food in return for saying a prayer for departed members of the household.
For nearly two thousand years, the barbaric Druid rituals were forbidden. It may surprise you to realize that the Gallic Druid mass sacrifice tradition was resurrected by the Illuminati during the French Revolution. Rivers of Christian blood flooded the gutters of Paris. Robespierre himself presided the “Festival of the Supreme Being” June 8th, 1794 in the midst of ten months of non-stop human sacrifice.
Sixteen Carmelite nuns of Compiègne were guillotined on 17 July 1794 for the crime of refusing to take off their habits and renounce their vows. Since then the ancient festivals have been relentlessly resurrected under various covers.
PRESENT DAY
There’s more to Halloween masks than changing suits. The person wearing the mask feels internally transformed and takes on temporarily the qualities of the god or demon represented by the mask. “It is an opportunity to act out one’s desires or fantasies. . . Halloween is unquestionably a night of inversion.” (Rogers, Nicholas. Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, p. 137) “One’s identity can be discarded with impunity. Men dress as women, and vice versa. Authority can be mocked and circumvented.” (Skal, David J. Death Makes a Holiday: The Cultural History of Halloween p. 17)
Since Halloween 1974, I’ve seen several cases Jekyll and Hyde personality phenomenon at Halloween parties.
The pro-pagan ‘Pagan Book of Halloween’  by Wiccan Dunwich Gerina, admits, “Some say that Halloween brings out the evil side of human nature in certain individuals. The number of vandalism acts committed each year on Halloween certainly seems to support this.” . . ( The Pagan Book of Halloween, p. 23)
There’s also a statistical spike of rapes associated with costume parties, especially if drugs are involved. Devil’s Night or Hell Night is a crime wave of Halloween violence and vandalism. The most famous and destructive was ‘Hell Night’ in Detroit, Michigan from the 70s through the 90s which crossed the line from smashing windows to major and widespread arson, gun fights, and murder.
In case readers are wondering, there never was a Jewish connection to Halloween at all. Jewish religious schools warn parents against observance of  Halloween or Halloween parties or trick or treat because “observance of Halloween is pagan and therefore destructive to the Jewish educational process”.
Obviously, Halloween is destructive to the Christian educational process too – yet I see every year most churches and their schools actually hold major Halloween festivals. Satan’s holiday gone from ingratiating the tolerance of churches to direct Christianity bashing.
CONCLUSION
Halloween was designed to be a framework for self initiation into the Luciferian way of thinking. Once a minor toe hold of the occult in modern life, why has Halloween imagery and obsession with lust and death become the mainstay of the entertainment industry? Notice that as Halloween mushroomed since 1966, so has obsession and ‘revolution’ of perverted sex, the occult, and admiration of serial killers and psychotics.
If Jewish religious schools caution parents that observance of Halloween is pagan and therefore destructive to the Jewish educational process, that should also apply to Christian and Muslim parents. Halloween is religious indoctrination and formation into Druid paganism, witchcraft, and Satanism.

Where Does The Tradition Of Wearing Halloween Costumes Come From?

The modern tradition of wearing costumes on Halloween can be traced back more than 2000 years to the Celts of ancient Britain.  During a Druidic festival known as Samhain, which is still celebrated by Wiccans and other modern pagans, revelers would often wear masks or costumes.  In modern times wearing costumes is considered to be “innocent fun”, but in those times the masks and costumes were worn for very specific spiritual purposes.  For some, the goal was to ward off evil spirits, but for others the purpose of the mask or costume was to help the participant communicate with the spirit world.  And as you will see below, there are some that still believe in this practice today.
Samhain is the day when the Celts believed that “the veil between the living and the dead” was the thinnest.  It is a day that has always been closely associated with human death, and according to the History Channel it is supposedly a time when “the ghosts of the dead returned to earth”…

This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31 they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth.

So it is definitely not a coincidence that people have always dressed up as ghosts on this day.
Some Celts wanted to avoid the spirits that would roam about on Samhain, some wanted to appease them, but others actually wanted to contact them so that they could make predictions about the future.  Here is more from the History Channel…

In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.
To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other’s fortunes.

In addition to divination, some wore masks and costumes because they believed that it would give them spiritual power.
In other words, people would dress up like an animal or even a spiritual entity in order to “absorb the power” of that animal or spiritual entity…

Halloween masks and costumes were used to hide one’s attendance at pagan festivals or—as in traditional shamanism (mediated by a witch doctor or pagan priest) and other forms of animism—to change the personality of the wearer to allow for communication with the spirit world. Here, costumes could be worn to ward off evil spirits. On the other hand, the costume wearer might use a mask to try to attract and absorb the power of the animal represented by the mask and costume worn. According to this scenario, Halloween costumes may have originated with the Celtic Druid ceremonial participants, who wore animal heads and skins to acquire the strength of a particular animal.

Even today, millions of people look forward to “being someone else” for a few hours on Halloween night.
But many Wiccans and other modern pagans take these old traditions even more literally.  According to SacredWicca.com, dressing up as a spiritual entity on Halloween is a form of “sympathetic magick” that allows practitioners to “experience what it could be like to be on the other side of the veil”…

On Samhain night the Faerie folk are believed to be very active and delight in playing tricks on humans.  If you’re near a faerie mound, be very careful not to be drawn inside, else you may disappear for a few hundred years.  The Fey enjoy gifts of food and drink and pretty baubles, so be sure to leave treats for the Faeries so you won’t be tricked!  In order to fool the Nature Spirits, our pagan ancestors would dress up in costumes if they had to travel about on Samhain night.  They would dress all in white, like ghosts,  make disguises of straw, or dress as the opposite gender.  I suppose that the Faeries were so busy laughing at the costumes they forgot to play any tricks!
Another school of thought regarding dressing up at Samhain has a much more spiritual basis.  Dressing as a ghost or skeleton could be seen as a form of “sympathetic magick” allowing us to experience what it could be like to be on the other side of the veil.

Halloween has a very deep spiritual dimension, but most people never think too much about where all of these traditions originated.  We should never be afraid to ask hard questions, and this is a point that I make very strongly in my latest book entitled “Living A Life That Really Matters”.  I never understood the shocking history behind any of our holidays while I was growing up, but I wish that somebody would have told me the truth.
One survey discovered that there are more than 300,000 Wiccans and pagans in America today, and for them it is still a night when the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest that it will be all year.
And so that means that it is also the best night to communicate with the spirit world.  Just consider the following from SacredWicca.com…

Samhain is a night for divination, the veil between the world of the living and the dead is at it’s thinnest making this the best night of the year to find out what the future has in store.  Pull out your crystal ball, scrying mirror, Tarot, runes, stones or bones, don’t miss this opportunity to see into the future.

When you participate in the exact same things that they are doing, don’t be surprised if you end up opening the same spiritual doors that they are opening.
There is a reason why Halloween feels so different than every other day of the year.  Even if you try to ignore spiritual reality, it is always there, and it is more powerful than most people would dare to imagine.
