Today is halloween. Kids all over America look forward to tonight's trick-or-treating. As parents drive their kids out, and pass yards full of goulish decorations, and eriee, black ornaments, do they think about all of this started? Do they understand where the costumes, treats and devilish trinkets came from?

"2000 years ago the Ancient Celts lived in what is now Ireland. They believed in, and worshipped many gods including the sun, moon and stars.

These Celts observed their New Year on Novemeber 1, and also the end of harvest and summer.

From October 31 through November 2, the celts held a 48-hour festival, the Vigil of Samhain (pronounced "sow-in"). They believed that Samhain, the pagan lord of the dead, gathered the souls of those that died the previous year and decided what from they would take the next year. The good souls would pass on to be people, but the evil souls would passon to the form of animals (the worst form being a cat.) The Celts would endeavor to bribe Samhain into giving their ancestors lighter sentences with presents or treats.

On the night of October, 31 dancing around a fire, dressing up into evil costumes, often like demons and sacrificing treats to Samhain were the main events. The Druids, or priests, would go up to the Ancient, sacred oaks and give up prayers to Samahin to keep away the demons; the costumes worn by the Celts also helped keep them away. This night usually ended with sleeping around the dwindling bonfire to be safe from spirits"

That was a revised version of "Halloween's Pre-History" from a Pagan site! This is real! Not just some story made up by a bunch of "party-poopers"! Pagans theselves admit the demonic roots of this demonic holiday.

Please noted that this my opinion only, and I'm not forcing it on you! Please no hate posts or fighting.
