Don’t get me wrong; we all love a good celebration! But just how far will we go to feel included? When it comes to celebrating holidays, or participating in any event, it’s important to find practices and rituals that align with the purity of our ancestors.
See, we all have a different culture, land, and set of laws defined by our exclusive gods. You can see this theory outlined in the Biblical Creation story when the elohiym (gods) created man and woman in their image and likeness (Genesis 1), then the Most High Elohiym (The Master Creator God) created man and woman in its image and likeness. See Genesis 2. You can also see the evidence of this in real time by studying the different global religions by region. Do you notice that everyone’s God favors and resembles them?
The God of the Hebraic bloodline (today, referred to as Black or African Americans) is different from the gods of the Egyptians which is different from the gods of the Celts, and so on. Although you may find similarities between their stories and principles, ultimately each holds a unique, exclusive direction tailored by their deities to their people.
A common Biblical Misconception is that we are all to worship one god.
While everyone should all give honor to the Most High because it is the original Creator, each bloodline will worship the god(s) that rule them. “For all people will walk everyone in the name of his Elohiym (god), and we will walk in the name of YAHUAH Elohaynu (YAHUAH our God)” – Micah 4:5. You must remember that the Tanakh or the Hebraic Bible, was written for the Hebraic people, their holidays, and their lawful codes to honor their deity.
With Halloween (and other American holidays) approaching, it’s important that we understand who this holiday honors, and just what the celebration stems from. So, let’s dive right in.
Did you know that Holiday stems from the term Holy Day?
Making every holiday not just a break from work, and time with the family, but a religious observance to a specific deity or spirit.
The date of October 31. Halloween's origins trace back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrated on October 31. Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time when the Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth.
The Celebratory Rituals. During this night, Celtic priests, known as Druids, would light bonfires and perform rituals to appease malevolent spirits or gods. Villagers disguised themselves as these evil spirits in costumes made from animal skins and heads in an effort to hide from these spirits. They also left food offerings to avoid being cursed or harmed (Smithsonian Magazine) (Discover Magazine).
Trick or Treating. The modern tradition of "trick-or-treating" stems from these ancient practices. The Druids went door to door during Samhain, demanding food offerings, and threatening those who refused with curses or mischief. If a household didn’t comply, their house was often marked to be burned or vandalized. This ritual eventually evolved into what we now recognize as trick-or-treating, with children dressing up and visiting homes to collect treats or defacing the home with tricks (Smithsonian Magazine).
Child Sacrifice to gods. According to the ancient Book of Invasions, each Samhain, the people of an Irish village sacrificed two-thirds of their children, corn, and milk to appease the Fomorians, a supernatural race. Later Christian texts like the Dindsenchas and the Annals of the Four Masters mention the god Crom Cruach, who was worshipped during Samhain. These accounts suggest that a firstborn child was sacrificed at Crom Cruach's stone idol, and King Tigernmas, along with a large portion of his people.
As Christianity spread through Europe, the Church sought to replace pagan festivals like Samhain. In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III moved the celebration of All Saints' Day (All Hallows' Day) to November 1, with the night before becoming All Hallows' Eve or Halloween. This blending of pagan and Christian elements is still seen today, though some religious communities view this mix as problematic, associating Halloween with its pagan roots and dark rituals (Discover Magazine).
More on All Saints' Day (Formerly All Hallows Day)
Catholic Priests traditionally celebrate All Saints’ Day by offering special masses to honor all the saints, both known and unknown. The day is meant to commemorate those who have attained sainthood in Heaven and are seen as intercessors between God and humanity. Liturgical services include prayers, hymns, and readings about the lives of saints. In some traditions, priests may lead processions, light candles, and bless graves in memory of the deceased, emphasizing the connection between the living and those who have passed into eternal life.
If we truly love the Most High, we ought to do better.
A true error made by the Christian Church if you ask me. The Hebraic God strictly commands that you “not commit not any of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein” (Leviticus 18:30). These customs include not sacrificing your children (v.21), inappropriate sex, and other diabolical traditions.
Celebrating Halloween is not merely a festive occasion; it serves as a direct homage to ancient Celtic gods, deeply rooted in rituals that often involved human and child sacrifice to appease dark spirits. This participation not only compromises your integrity but also defiles your spirit according to the standards of the Hebraic God, who commands His followers to shun pagan and barbaric practices.
If you truly consider yourself a friend of the Most High God, and if you genuinely love Him, you must refrain from engaging in such barbaric celebrations. Embracing these practices puts you at odds with the divine principles that uphold a life of holiness and devotion. Understanding the grave implications of aligning with these traditions is essential. To honor God is to reject all forms of idolatry and darkness, affirming your commitment to a path that leads away from the influence of evil and towards the light of righteousness.
I hope this lands where it needs to.
