Halloween is celebrated each year on October 31. Halloween is an old tradition that originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain (pronounced SOW-in) is an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1. For the Celts, this time marked a “thin” period when the boundary between the living and the dead was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to cross over. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts and celebrate the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Today, Samhain influences modern Halloween traditions and is still celebrated by some as a spiritual or cultural holiday. Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints. Soon, All Saints Day incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The day before was known as All Hallows Eve, and later Halloween.
The Celts lived over 2000 years ago, mostly embodying an area that is now Ireland, Scotland, and other parts of pre-Christian Europe. The Celts celebrated their new year on November 1. The night of October 31 served as a marker of the ending of summer and harvest. It was also associated with forthcoming darkness that would inhabit a cold winter, bringing forth death. The Celts considered winter to be a frightening and uncertain time for many reasons. In the winter the days were shorter. This was a bad omen for those who weren't fond of darkness. Food supplies often ran low during the winter due to the harvest season-ending. This left Celts searching for wisdom on how to sustain food to last throughout winter. The Celts celebrated Samhain on October 31 due to the belief that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. The Celts believed that spirits from another world could serve as an aid to druids to make predictions. Druids known as Celtic priests, played a significant role as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual realms. Druids were known as the keepers of knowledge and served as spiritual guides to their people.
Let's connect some dots:
The druids were practitioners of divination whom they facilitated within many Celt traditions. Divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. This is also known as witchcraft. Witchcraft can be defined as a religious practice involving magic and affinity with nature, usually within a pagan tradition such as the practice of Samhain.
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 states, "9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do."
The Celts were huge in ancestral worship, in which they would do rituals to invoke the spirits of the dead. This is known as necromancy, in which celts would utilize to seek wisdom for the coming dark winter. Necromancy is a form of witchcraft and is the practice of communicating with the dead, especially in order to predict the future.
The Celts were also guilty of divination practice. The Celts viewed the Earth as a living entity with its own rhythms and energies. Each season was seen as a manifestation of the divine, and these shifts were marked by festivals and rituals that celebrated the changing face of the land. These were better known as Celtic divination practices. These druids were also observers of the Solstices and equinoxes. Solstices and equinoxes are astronomical events that mark the changing seasons and are key parts of the Earth's orbit around the sun. Equinox are the two times of year when the length of day and night are nearly equal. Solstice are the two times of year when the amount of daylight is at its greatest or least. This is why Samhain was celebrated around a calculated time of the agricultural cycle, but was also done to gain opportunities to engage with the spiritual forces that governed life. This practice can also be defined as astrology. Astrology is the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world. Celestial bodies are considered spirits from other worlds. Isaiah 47:12-13 states, "12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee."
Druids were also considered witches due to their use of herbalistic knowledge which they combined with spells and rituals to enhance their spiritual experience. Celtic witches would often gather herbs during specific lunar phases or on particular days of the week to maximize their magical potency. They sometimes created herbal sachets, brewed teas, or used herbs as offerings to the spirits. The formation of spells and potions through herbal means is still common in modern witchcraft practices.
Connecting the Dots: Samhain Festival
Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. These bonfires served as Altars. If you don't know what altars are, please go read my article entitled "Altars: Your Greatest Ally Or Worst Enemy". In short summary, Altars serve as spiritual gateways for spirits to come and cohabitate with humankind on Earth's plain. Altars are also a place of sacrifice where agreements are made between spirits and man. When the Celts sacrificed to their pagan Celtic deities, they created contracts with the spirit world. This enabled spirits to come and cohabitate in that domain. What spirits where the Celtics communing with? The Celtics thought they were communing with their ancestors and Celtic deities, but really they were giving place to fallen angels and demonic entities. Ephesians 4:27 states, "Neither give place to the devil."
During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins. People wore costumes during Samhain to disguise themselves and avoid harm from spirits, and to honor ancestors. The Celts wore costumes to hide from spirits and confuse them. The Celts may have impersonated the souls of the dead, to receive offerings on their behalf. The Celts honored their ancestors and invited them home. Romans 12:2 states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." When the Celts wore these costumes, they unknowingly were taking on the image of fallen and demonic entities. By dressing like the evil spirits, they gave legality for these spirits to have dominion over them. They gave legal right for these spirits to influence them in whatever way they saw fit. This also gave these spirits legality to dwell within the practitioner due to a contractual agreement being formed in the spirit world. Instead of functioning in the identity God has ordained for every man, they began to take on the identity of the spirits whom they mimic in dress. In the spirit world, they are now seen as that evil entity. Ignorantly, the Celts now became a slave to the spirits who deceived them and now suffer from demonically altered destinies.
Samhain Infiltration Into America
The Irish emigrated to America in great numbers during the 19th century especially around the time of famine in Ireland during the 1840's. The Irish carried their Halloween traditions to America, where today it is one of the major holidays of the year. American colonists are responsible for initially bringing Halloween to the United States. Most of the colonists were Puritans and they primarily came from England which traditionally celebrated Samhain back when the Celts lived there. Numbers 33:55-56 states, "55 But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. 56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them."
All Saints' Day Deception
Pope Boniface IV dedicated the Pantheon in honor of all Christian martyrs on May 13, 609. This is how the Catholic feast of All Martyrs Day was established. The Pantheon is a preserved Roman structure. Pope Gregory III later expanded the festival to include all saints as well as all martyrs and moved the observance from May 13 to November 1. In the 9th century, Christianity began to influence Celtic lands, where it blended with older Celtic pagan practices. By year 1000, the church made November 2 All Souls’ Day. This is the day when they choose to honor the dead. 2 Corinthians 6:14 states, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" It seemed like the church was trying to compromise with old Celtic traditions like the Celtic festival of the dead. This was a satanic deception. It was a part of Satan's plan to infiltrate the church with his pagan dark practices. He did this by changing the perception of the celebration. All Souls’ Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels and devils. Deuteronomy 12:30-32 NKJV states, "30 take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ 31 You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every [a]abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. 32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." All saints day is also known as All-hallows or All-hallowmas. The night before it, the traditional night of Samhain in the Celtic religion, began to be called All-Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. This is where America gets the term Halloween from. Satan tricked the Christians into participating in witchcraft ritual celebrations by using the power of perception change and compromise. Every year the Christian church comes up with holiday substitutes to counter pagan holidays dedicated to demons and fallen angels. God says he doesn't want you to substitute the celebration, but completely denounce it. Taking away certain practices from pagan holidays and adding Christian values doesn't make it a holy holiday. At the end of the day the Christians are still celebrating a watered-down version of Halloween. The Christians are still paying homage to Satan. Ignorantly, the Christians are still participating in the ancient Celtic practices of Samhain(Halloween). The only difference is Christians changed the name from Halloween to Fall Festival and changed the day of celebration. Some churches and Christians even celebrate "Fall Festival" on the same day as Halloween, October 31st. God is saying his people do not need to be entertained by worldly practices, as he is all the amusement they will ever need. Remember in Deuteronomy 12:30-32, God has instructed Christians to completely abstain from pagan practices. We are not to add to them or take away from them. Christians need to understand everything we do as the church serves as an offering to the lord. God will not accept offerings with pagan roots. Paganism watered down, added to, or changed is still paganism to God. If you take a glass of poison, take some out, and pour more water into it, is the glass still not filled with poison? If you take that same diluted poison and pour it into a new glass, is it still not poison? 1 John 2:15 states, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." God is saying he will not accept compromise from his people. You must choose to follow him or the things of this world.
The Dangers Of Costumes
I elaborated earlier on why costumes should not be worn or used for the celebration of pagan Holidays such as Halloween. Exodus 20:4 states, " Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." In Samhain, the celts wore costumes and masks to disguise themselves as harmful spirits and thus avoid harm. To this day adults dress up as these same harmful spirits for Halloween parties. Children dress up as these same harmful spirits to participate in pagan holidays such as Halloween. These harmful spirits in modern-day terms have been labeled as Cartoons, Nickelodeon, Disney, Marvel, D.C, and other popular venues. This was Satan's handy work and again a tactic of perception change. Satan conditioned humanity into looking at fallen angels and demons as superheroes. Due to cartoon deception, people all over the world now associate these evil creatures with the feeling of Goodness. Isaiah 5:20 states, "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" The adults and children have now been satanically conditioned for modern times to honor the same harmful spirits the Celts did 2000 years ago. The adults think it's harmless to dress their kids up for Halloween due to the smile it brings children's faces as they receive Halloween candy. Just because it's fun, doesn't mean it's God ordained. Would Satan be able to insnare you if sin wasn't enticing? The worldly emotions associated with the term fun don't necessarily mean it's Holy. The Sweet happiness Halloween brings adults and children may feel good on earth but will leave a bitter taste in the mouth during God's judgment. Will the Halloween candy be worth it then? To dress up is to masquerade. Masquerade is known as a false show or pretense. It is pretending to be someone one is not. In the satanic realm, Masquerading is done for the purpose of attacking victims with the use of deception. 2 Corinthians 11:14 states, "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." Satan uses deception to carry out his will of carnage on an unsuspecting victim. When people dress up for Halloween, they are doing the will of the Satanic kingdom, as this is what they do. God revealed to me this is the major reason Satan named one of the most popular superhero franchises Marvel. This was designed to get humanity to marvel after the likeness and abilities of Fallen angels and demonic entities. Revelation 13:3 NKJV states, "And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast." When people wear costumes of their likeness, they're paying homage to these Fallen angels and demonic entities. It can be dangerous for children to pretend to be these demonic characters. As I discussed earlier, man is made in the image of God. This is confirmed in Genesis 1:26. When we walk in the image of God, we choose to fulfill the destiny that he has for our lives. When we walk in the image of the demonic kingdom, we choose to forsake God's destiny and choose to fulfill the destiny of demons. This is called destiny swap in witchcraft. In the spirit world, witches steal the Godly destinies of ignorant victims and exchange them for demonic destinies that suit Satan's evil purposes. This could explain why children are doing badly in school or are delinquents. This could explain why adults have a hard time either obtaining success or maintaining it throughout their lives. This could also be the reason misfortune continuously plagues people's lives. This is due to the destinies of these people being swapped. To reverse the damage to the adult or child, you must pray to God to restore your original God-ordained destiny. Jeremiah 29:11 states, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Entertaining satanic costume customs open you up to evil masquerading spirits. These spirits have placed many families into satanic bondage. These spirits like to attack people using the gateway of family names. These names normally are the first or last names passed down the family line. A major way masquerading spirits gain access is through family surnames being associated with idolatry practice, evil sacrifices, etc. All of these can be used to describe the major pagan holiday of Halloween. Symptoms of masquerade attacks are late marriage, poverty, sickness, failure at the edge of breakthrough, and inability to finish anything. These spirits specialize in attacking your foundation, which is the heart of your destiny. Once these spirits gain access to your foundation, it will make it easier to attack you with the gift of delay. These spirits attack from your father's and mother's house. These are spiritual terms which mean they have access to your family line through old covenants. These covenants are established through demonic pagan involvement(Halloween), whether done consciously or unconsciously. A masquerading spirit's sole purpose is to keep you from achieving greatness and maintaining success in your life. This includes maintaining deliverance. This explains why people go back to the sins that ensnared them in the first place. Are you Poor? Having a hard time finding or keeping a job? Suffering career or marriage damage? Are your children having a hard time in school? Are your kids struggling to succeed in various aspirations? You or your children can't seem to stay consistent with a singular goal? Therefore never obtaining success? Always starting over with new aspirations, but never seeing success in any of them? The cause of this is witchcraft and evil masquerading spirits. To fight this and take back control of your destiny, you will need to engage in heavy spiritual warfare prayer. You will need God's divine intervention.
If you see masquerading people in your dream, these are masquerading spirits. These dreams are called masquerade dreams. These can either be costumed witches manifesting to you spiritually through dreams or demons. They will often come in the form of something you idolize. This is often how these evil agents attack you, is through your dreams. Matthew 13:25 states, "But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way." Satanic dreams like these are not to be taken lightly and could mean the very end of you. You must pray hard to cancel these types of dreams in your life. I will go into detail about satanic dreams in another article. Batman and Superman were two of my favorite comic heroes. These two characters are worshiped as Gods on earth by adults and children. When the movies come out portraying these two characters, they gross millions at the box office. When you go into small convenience stores, I guarantee you will see little trinkets for sale with their symbol on them. I have to tell you these two characters are demons in the spirit world. These two demons are leading many to hell through idolatry. Exodus 20:3 states, " Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Remember Exodus 20:4 forbids us from creating anything in the likeness of the spirit world that isn't sanctioned, this includes symbols. The Batman and Superman symbols are prime examples. These symbols can be bought as keychains, toys, and car decals. The Batman symbol is composed of a bat. A bat is a black mammal with black wings. This is symbolic of fallen angels in the spirit world. Once a member of white holiness, now condemned to black evil in their fallen state. In the bible the color white is associated with holiness and black is associated with evil. 1 John 1:5 states, "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." Why is Batman called the Dark Knight? Why does he state, "I am the night?" In the spirit world batman is a fallen demonic entity. Notice Batman has two horns. Is Satan not also depicted with two horns? Superman is also a fallen demonic entity. The S on his chest actually stands for Satan in the spirit world. Superman is known as the Son of El. This is the name the comic gave his father. The Hebrew term Elohim stands for "gods" or "deities". The term Elohim also refers to angels in the bible. This proves that the comic character Superman can possibly be a representative of a fallen angel in the spirit world. The term Elohim can also be used to describe God the Father. El Shaddai is a root word from the original that means Almighty God. John 3:16 states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This scripture teaches us Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of El. D.C states Superman is the son of Jor-El. Superman's real name is Kal'-El. Satan is sending hidden messages through this comic character trying to portray Superman, a fallen deity as Earth's Savior, instead of Jesus Christ. I saw both Batman and Superman masquerade in my dreams. I thought it was cool when I first saw them face to face in the spirit world, but I didn't realize until later I was under heavy spiritual attack. Batman was swinging from building to building just like in the cartoons and movies. Superman was flying around just like in the movies. I have even witnessed myself leaping from building to building like Batman in dreams. I have even flown in dreams like Superman. If you have been a victim of these feats in your dream, you are under heavy witchcraft manipulation. You must seek spiritual help from God in deep prayer. In summary, participating in masquerading or costume dress-up can open you up to serious spiritual attack via witchcraft. I have dressed up like Batman for Halloween in the past. What people don't realize is, that it doesn't have to be Halloween to be found guilty of masquerading. Many people myself included have worn Batman and Superman shirts throughout the week to the gym, work, store, etc. If your shirt contains their symbolism or face, you are guilty of masquerading. This gives Satan the legal right to afflict you with witchcraft. Can you count how many children wear these kind of shirts to school? That's how many children are victims of witchcraft manipulation. This is due to the parent's ignorance of spiritual things. When I came to this spiritual realization, I threw out all my superhero paraphernalia. As long as you hold on to these things, Satan will have legality over you, since you possess his products.
Food and drink are a major way Satan inducts victims into the spiritual world of witchcraft. 1 Corinthians 10:21 states, "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." Alot of people think they're not guilty of witchcraft involvement, but I'm here to tell you Satan is very cunning. His sole purpose is to get you linked to demonic forces so they can influence your life for evil purposes. When adults or children eat candy dedicated to Halloween, they're consuming substances dedicated to demons. The parents have unknowingly allowed their children to be inducted into witchcraft. This can explain why children have behavior issues due to the door being opened to demonic influence. To avoid being in contract with Satan, we must avoid tables of devils. Halloween is considered a satanic table. To reverse this, you must repent and renounce the satanic contract, spitting out the satanic food in the spirit by faith.
There is an actual demon named Halloween that collects information on humanity for Satan. When you participate in the pagan Holiday dedicated to him, you give legality to him and other demons to gain access to private information about your life. They give this information to Satan, who uses it to strategically attack you. October is a month when witchcraft is very rampant. A lot of human sacrifice takes place in October. It isn't safe for parents to let their children go out alone for trick or treating. You must understand the trick is the treat for demons. The trick people play on others during Halloween is a symbolic representation of how the satanic kingdom causes mischief at night to its unsuspecting victims. A lot of people come up missing on Halloween, especially children. Children are one of the strongest sacrifices a witch can make. Yes, witches are real, though they may not look exactly like what cartoons and movies portray them as on TV. These witches can be the very people you're close to as they act and dress like ordinary people. Witchcraft is very strong on Halloween and can pose a problem to its unsuspecting victims. All those who celebrate Halloween are participating in witchcraft. This makes you a witch by association. Spiritual activity is very high on Halloween due to satanic agents partnering with demons to attack ignorant human victims. These missions are administered by high-ranking demons and fallen Entities. The Satanic agents then travel out mostly in the spirit to make sure Satan's plan is implemented successfully. Psalm 91:5 states, "Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;" Halloween night for a Christian should be a serious time of prayer. Satanic ambassadors engage in heavy spiritual warfare with Christians on this night. A lot of Christians are ignorant of the battle and don't know they are being attacked. Symptoms of defeat manifest in their lives as time progresses. Why is this significant? Let's break down the name of Halloween. The "hallow" in the name comes from the Old English word "halig," meaning "holy" or "sacred". The name also means "saint". There's nothing holy about Halloween. So why does it summarize terms like "holy" and "saint"? Besides the catholic history behind tainted All Saints Day? Proverbs 2:8 states, "He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints." God considers his people saints. In the Bible, the term "saint" refers to a holy person who is set apart for God's purposes, and every follower of Jesus Christ is considered a saint. The word "saint" appears 67 times in the New Testament. Satan has told us what Halloween is really for within the definition of its name. Halloween day and night is a time when Christians are heavily targeted for attacks and spiritual manipulations. Christians who participate or allow their children to participate in Halloween aid in their own destruction. According to Ephesians 6:10-18, Christians must be girded in the full armor of God to withstand these attacks. Most Christians are carnal, living lukewarm lives. Their armor isn't as strong as it should be, so they have weak spots where satanic ambassadors can exploit them for spiritual manipulation(witchcraft). If you're not a Christian, then you're fully open to satanic attacks as you have no divine protection. This is a very severe situation and shouldn't be taken lightly as you're a spiritual slave in Satan's kingdom.
When people decorate their houses with Halloween decorum, they transform their abode into covensteads. A covenstead is the meeting place of a coven or group of witches. Covensteads can be physical locations, like a member's home, or spiritual, like an astral temple. In the spirit realm, your house takes on the form of spiritual covens, where demons and witches have the legality to inhabit your home in the spirit realm. They then have the autonomy to use your house as a spiritual checkpoint. They can set up altars in the spirit and store satanic artifacts. This may explain why there is no peace in your house. It may also explain why children are afraid to go to sleep in your house. That imaginary friend or monster in the closet or under the bed may not be so imaginary after all. I watched an old show called "Beyond Belief: Fact Or Fiction", there was an episode where a brother was bullying his younger brother. The older brother and friends chased the younger brother all the way up to his house. The younger brother ran into his room. The older brother got the idea to lock his little brother in the closet due to his history of being afraid of monsters in the closet. The older brother and friends locked him in the closet. The little boy beat on the door screaming, "Help! Get me out! The monster is trying to take me!! ". Eventually, the banging on the door and screaming stopped. The older brother became curious and opened the door. There was no one in the closet. The younger brother had disappeared. The older brother and friends were horrified and they tried explaining what happened to his mother. His mother became terrified and she called the cops. The police then put out a search warrant, but it was unsuccessful. The child could not be found. The show deemed this incident as fact. It was an actual documented event. When the Halloween celebration is over, even after the Halloween decorum is gone from the house, in the spirit realm, your house is still manifesting as a coven. When you dream, you may see yourself in a strange building with strange decorum that is supposed to be your house. It's in the same destination as your house, in the correct neighborhood. That's because it is your house. God will reveal your spiritual condition to you in dreams, this includes your surroundings. When adults participate in Halloween by administering candy dedicated to Satan's kingdom, they're participating in witchcraft. This makes them witches and Satan's kingdom recognizes them as such in the spirit world. The candy possesses spells in them linking whoever consumes them to demonic forces.
Finally, let's talk about jack-o'-lanterns.
In Irish folklore, the jack-o’-lantern originates from the story of “Stingy Jack,” a clever but deceitful man. Jack tricked the Devil multiple times, ultimately trapping him and bargaining for his own soul’s safety. When Jack eventually died, Heaven rejected him due to his sinful life, and Hell turned him away because of his deals with the Devil. Left to wander in darkness, the Devil gave Jack a single ember to light his way. Jack placed the ember in a hollowed-out turnip, creating the first “jack-o’-lantern.” The Irish would carve turnips or potatoes with eerie faces and place them by windows or doorways to ward off wandering spirits like Jack’s. When Irish immigrants came to America, they found pumpkins more abundant and began carving them instead, creating the jack-o’-lantern tradition we know today. Remember this is a short excerpt from Irish folklore. Humanity must understand that Satan is More intelligent than mankind. We don't possess the supernatural intelligence to outsmart him without the bible. Ezekiel 28:15-17 confirms my statement. When you make a deal with Satan, the payment is your soul. Matthew 16:26 states, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" If you don't renounce your deal with Satan, your soul will be lost to hell for all eternity. The jack-o’-lanterns also serve as demonic altars. When people carve this vegetation in the image of demons and light the inside of the pumpkins with fire, they have unknowingly built an altar for Satan. Altars are gateways that allow spirits to access or possess specified territories. In this case, you're allowing demonic entities to inhabit your territory. If you need more information on altars, please look at my article entitled "Altars: Your Greatest Ally Or Worst Enemy". Ironically it's stated that jack-o'-lanterns are traditionally used to ward off evil spirits, but it does the exact opposite. Jack-o'-lanterns attract more spirits to you. Ephesians 4:27 states, "Neither give place to the devil." Using Irish folklore we can deduce the flame in the jack-o'-lantern serves as a visual reminder of contracts made with Satan. When people put these jack-o'-lantern on house display, they're making a visual statement to uphold deals made with Satan. This is true whether they're aware of the deal or not. The flame can also be symbolic of fire from hell.
I hope this article has shed light on the history and spiritual insight of pagan Halloween. I hope it has inspired you to forsake its celebration. If you haven't done so, please repent for participating in its celebration. Please share this article with others so they can become free of the Halloween deception as well.
