    PART 1 - Every year about this time, Fundamentalist Christians slowly pull the nails out of the coffins of wishful thinking and assumption, and the putrid smell of conjecture and bad history is once more allowed to dull our intellectual senses while the enlightenment of modern research is avoided like a cognitive dissonant plague. That sounds a bit harsh, but unfortunately, it’s very true. Many people tend to associate modern Halloween with three things: The old Gaelic celebration of Samhain [that's _SAH-wen,_ BTW] (asserting that most of Halloween’s customs originate with ancient Samhain celebrations); Satanism (asserting that Halloween’s origins are Satanic, as evidenced by the many Satanists who use this day to promote their beliefs); and All Saints Day (asserting that the early church established the holiday to “Christianize” Samhain). Let’s delve into the world of historical fact… It seems no matter where you look, from various educational websites to entries in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and even in (some) scholarly articles, Halloween is always connected to the ancient Gaelic celebration of Samhain. And, of course, that comes with the full gambit of all the myths, legends and lore that have surrounded the holiday for well over 1.000 years. I’m sure you’ve heard some of these before….. “Halloween is the worship of the devil! Halloween comes from heathen roots! Trick or Treat comes from an ancient pagan custom: Satanic worshiping Druids would go from house to house seeking a virgin to sacrifice! If you complied, they left a jack-o-lantern outside your door with a candle inside … made from human fat! If you did not comply, a terrible ‘trick’ would be played on you! The Catholic Church perpetuated the pagan legends with its Feast of All Saints. If you let your kids celebrate Halloween, you expose them to the possibility of demonic possession!”, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. But don’t these facts about Halloween’s origins prove that it is an abomination? The question that arises is, is this connection between Halloween and Samhain legitimate, and are all these “facts” about it actually true? For a serious researcher, perhaps the most difficult aspect of researching these various origins, traditions, and assumed ‘truths’ about Halloween, is sifting through all the data and separating what is historical _fact_ from the myth, legend, and, frankly, religious paranoia of what is historical _fiction._ It’s not an easy task. Indeed, what makes this even more difficult, is that so many of these ‘’facts”, suppositions, and assumptions are so ill-researched and have been repeated for so long, that they have essentially become accepted as truth. As I previously noted, one can find these asserted ‘facts’ in everything ranging from various educational websites to entries in dictionaries and encyclopedias, and even in (some) scholarly articles. What we find after close examination and scrutiny, however, is that the accepted origin of most Halloween traditions/beliefs comes from the latter (historical fiction), rather than the former (historical fact). Completely contrary to what many would have one believe, Halloween is _not_ a holiday that has close ties to the ancient past, nor does it have some ‘pagan’ antecedent, nor is it a continuation of several ancient pre-Christian customs. To say Halloween’s connections to ancient Samhain, or anything “ancient” for that matter, are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. Virtually all of the customs associated with the modern secular celebration of Halloween developed only in the past 500 years and have no connections to ancient pagan religious practices. In short, Halloween just does not have the “pagan precedent” so many people seem to desperately want it to. Even the concept of ‘Trick or Treat’ is a relatively new phenomenon, originating from right here in the USA from about the 1920’s or so, and represents a mix of cultures, capitalism, and accommodation. To be completely fair, a few customs associated with Halloween do have a very old past; most notably, the carving of root vegetables and bobbing for apples. Without going into all the lengthy details, the carving of root vegetables (pumpkins in America) dates to around the 1700’s - it’s just not historically attested any earlier than that. Bobbing for apples is a fall activity not specifically connected to Halloween, and comes from a British woman’s courting custom historically attested to about the 1300’s. Neither custom is associated with, nor can they be historically attested back to, Samhain, or anything ‘pagan’ or ‘demonic’ for that matter. Further, there is zero evidence the Celts ever donned costumes of animal pelts to ward off evil spirits. Costuming for trick-or-treat comes from about 1930's America. The concept of trick-or-treat dates to about then as well. It has no ties to mumming, guising or souling. Historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. Simply put, there is no continued ancient tradition. But misconceptions abound regarding the nature and origin of Samhain, to the point where virtually everything that people today believe about it is a complete fabrication. What is definitively known about Samhain would fit on about a page and a half of paper. What gets passed around the Internet as “history” and “fact” is mostly speculation and utter nonsense. The primary source of what is known comes from the books of the Ulster Cycle. By most historical accounts, Samhain proper was preceded by three days, and followed by three days. In some accounts it’s only a three-day celebration (not a seven day). Samhain seems to have been a time to prepare for winter, to welcome in the dark half of the year, cull the herds and celebrate the final harvest of the year. One particular activity that these old Gaelic texts seem to suggest was very popular at Samhain was…. horse racing. In addition, there were many ‘warrior-type’ athletic competitions and well….a lot of drinking. That sounds a lot like many European holidays today from October-January. The texts also speak of it as a time to pay tithings, gather taxes, and the holding of a judicial assembly (much like the Manx ‘Tynwald Day’). There is zero evidence that it was a religious observance, that it entailed any ritual, that it was a celebration of the dead, or that it opened the Celtic year. Anything else asserted to be associated with Samhain is either pure wishful thinking or absolute nonsense. The epitome of this nonsense is the idea that Samhain was the “Celtic God /Lord of Death” - The Celts (and to be specific, the Gaels (from whose language the word Samhain is derived)) had no such deity. That utter nonsense comes from a volume of books published in the late 1700’s and was quickly picked up on by some Christian groups, some of whom have perpetuated this nonsense to the present time. To be completely fair, the Celts, like other cultures, practiced divination and the change of seasons (amongst other things) was seen as a liminal time in which the boundaries between the spirit world and the material world were seen as overlapping, however, this was part of the broader Celtic religious framework and not something specific to any one specific holiday. Indeed, Samhain’s polar opposite celebration, Beltane, was seen as just as powerful, if not a more powerful, time of year. Masks, costumes, trick or treating, Halloween games etc. all either have known traditional Christian origins or simply cannot be linked to anything definitely pre-Christian. Let’s take a closer look at the assertion that Christian All Saints Day/All Souls Day replaced Gaelic Samhain. To state it briefly, the date of 1. November for All Saint's Day was practiced in continental Europe _long_ before the date was formerly fixed by the Church to November 1st, and _long_ before said change got to what is now the UK & Ireland; which was _centuries_ after the time of Druids and Samhain proper. In addition, most people are not aware that Samhain itself is a _movable_ feast day; the exact date varies from year to year depending on when the autumnal equinox and winter solstice fall. To assert that the establishment of All Saint’s Day (and All Souls Day on 2.NOV) was the early church’s attempt to “Christianize Samhain” just does not stand to reason. Think about this logically for a moment, why would the church change a major feast day affecting _all_ of Western Christendom just to accommodate a small group of Christians who lived on, what would be considered at that time, some remote group of islands in the middle of nowhere, centuries after Druids and the observance of Samhain? One scholar has even suggested that November 1st may have been chosen simply so that the many pilgrims who traveled to Rome to commemorate the saints “could be fed more easily after the harvest than in the spring (when it was originally celebrated).” That certainly does not seem out of the realm of possibility. Though this may not have been the predominant reason, I’d be willing to bet it was taken into consideration and was a contributing factor in the change. All three holidays, Halloween, All Saint’s Day, and Samhain share a common date and perhaps a “feeling”, but that’s really about it. Indeed, so much of Halloween “feels” Pagan that attempts to connect those things to ancient Samhain simply “feels right”.

    PART 2 Ah, but what about all those Satanists out there?? After all, as some people will be quick to remind, the author of the Satanic Bible himself even said "I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year.” Hard to argue about that! Halloween's association with Satanic worship and practices though real, is a very *modern* phenomena (1960's to present), and, of course, has zero connection to the pre-Christian Celtic holiday Samhain. Most people do not realize that the connection here is no more than 50-60 years old. For those who observe Samhain, Satanists are regarded with just as much disgust and disdain, indeed, if not more so, than Christians regard them - Satanists are responsible for appropriating this day to not only promulgate their beliefs, but to completely twist the day into something it simply never was. *Not* to defend them in _any way,_ but, again, to be completely fair, it should be noted that most supposed practices of these groups are, again, based upon complete misinformation and supposition: not actual fact. Many of their assumed and supposed practices stem from the so-called “Satanic Panic”, a conspiracy theory that swept across America in the 1980’s and early 90’s. It seems however, that some Christian denominations are doing their darndest to bring it back. Interviews and ‘testimonies’ from ‘Satanic Panic’ holdovers, as well as newcomers such as John Ramirez, and so-called, self-styled, ‘ex-witches/ex-Satanists” are just one of many examples. Others, such as the late Anton LeVey, completely capitalized to the extreme on people’s fear and assumptions about Satanism. LeVey’s brand of Satanism actually had nothing to do with Satan at all. LeVey was an atheist; his brand of Satanism is an atheistic philosophy and is not at all theological. There is little to no evidence that he ever gave the (in)famous quote attributed to him. It appears to be nothing more than an urban legend that originated with certain Christian groups. It’s *only* among some of these certain groups that the quote can be found. If indeed he actually said it, he was probably being sarcastic. He took full advantage of an opportunity to capitalize on some people’s fear and assumptions about Halloween and, more to the point, Satanism. *Not* to defend him in any way, but it should further be noted, that LaVey _explicitly_ condemned, amongst other things, the harming of children and animal sacrifice. Again, that’s just documented fact. With respect to the concept of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) I refer the reader to: www.equip.org/PDF/DO040.pdf For Wiccans, Halloween/Samhain does mark the end of a ‘liturgical’ year consisting of 8 holidays. It is a time to reflect on the past (liturgical) year, institute intentions/resolutions for the coming year, and acknowledge the dark half of the year and its symbolism (recognizing that one cannot know the beauty of life without the wisdom of death, the endless circle of death and rebirth, etc.). In addition, it’s a time to remember and honor ancestors and a time for feasting after the final harvest of the year. Sorry to disappoint, but Samhain for Wiccans is just not any more “nefarious”, “evil” or “demonic” than that. And, of course, there are also without fail, those Christian denominations that seem fixated on associating the holiday with the Devil/Satan. As with the association of Halloween with Samhain, for these individuals, it somehow just “feels right”. As in the secular world, the majority of their conclusions come from material which has clearly not been researched (at times, rather painfully so) and largely based upon misguided fear and assumptions. These assumptions are repeated over and over again, year after year, until they are taken by the faithful and accepted as ‘gospel truth’. This rhetoric is often accompanied by various Bible passages (Ephesians, Deuteronomy and Corinthians seem to be favorites) which have been taken completely out of historical and cultural context, to evidence and confirm their misinformed suppositions. One of the things that one inevitably sees are videos that ask, “Can a Christian celebrate Halloween?” and open that with “What does the Bible say?” Let’s be honest here, the Bible says absolutely zero about Halloween - accept that. Don’t cherry pick verses taken completely out of cultural and historical context and try to make them fit. Further, as mentioned, the verses used typically refer not to the historical facts concerning the origins of the holiday, but rather the legend, lore, assumptions, myths, misinformation, outright lies and religious paranoia that surround it. To take a few of these quickly, Ephesians 5:11 is construed as prohibiting celebrating Halloween due to its perceived pagan origins and association with darkness, this interpretation is does not take into account the context of the verse, which is primarily focused on actively participating in evil deeds, not simply engaging in activities with a preconceived historical connection to paganism (which is not at all correct) that are now widely considered harmless fun by many Christians. Deuteronomy is a prohibition about cultural and religious assimilation as the Hebrew people enter Canaan. The bigger question here may be more along the lines of, why do some Christian denominations seem to have a genuine fear of Halloween. A few noted historians have explored this question…. To paraphrase from an article written in 2018 by B. A. Barr on the Patheos website on why Evangelical Christians seem to fear Halloween, she notes that in the aftermath of the Reformation, some fervent protestant groups (like the Puritans) regarded holy days with strong Catholic roots (such as All Saints Day and All Souls Day) with a great deal of suspicion and condemned them as “Popish inventions “. A holy day like Halloween (All Hallow’s Eve), which had no direct association with the life of Jesus, didn’t have a chance with radical reformers. It was just too Catholic. This is precisely what historian Ronald Hutton argues when he wrote: “To describe [Halloween] as fundamentally un-Christian is therefore either ill-informed or disingenuous. Such an attitude could be most sympathetically portrayed as a logical development of radical Protestant hostility to the holy days of All Saints and All Souls.” Ironically, Hutton continues, “it is because of the agenda of evangelical Protestants to “eradicate” papal traditions that holidays like Halloween now appear divorced from Christianity.” Hutton goes on to say that by eliminating the doctrine of Purgatory and the cult of the saints,” the Protestants “left nothing but a vague sense of Halloween as a time with creepy associations.” In other words, it was Protestant fear of Catholicism that made Halloween appear less Christian and, in their eyes, more evil. Moving on, many will be quick to argue that Halloween is a day which “glorifies evil” or does “not glorify God”. When one participates in Halloween, one is not participating in ‘evil’ or ‘death’ per se; rather one of the points of the modern holiday is to mock these things. I think that’s a major point many people seem to completely miss or not quite understand. On another philosophical/psychological level, it allows people to explore their “darker side/psyche”, if you will. A time to explore a side of themselves they would not normally expose or perhaps even consider. It’s a part of being human. I somehow don’t think God would object to humans being human. It is a time to play on a few of the basic/core fears of man - fear of what lurks in the dark, and fear of death - the aspects of these fears that people just don’t like to think about, are now exposed for all to ‘see’ and ‘experience’. A sort of annual self-check to make sure that part of our humanity is still there, so to speak. In the end, most people realize it for what it is. As one commenter puts it - “This smear campaign against Halloween, in which it has been scapegoated among Christians as the ultimate manifestation of secularism and satanism in contemporary culture, only goes back to fairly recent modern times when certain Christian groups resorted to any fanciful tale to counter the emerging counterculture of the 60's and 70's that they perceived as corrupting youth. Christian leaders since then have clutched us in a guilt trip ever since about a holiday which, prior to this extreme reaction, was indeed harmless for the most part like any other holiday and had no connection with satanic rituals. It was a cultural festival which, though mischievous at times, really posed no threat to society until we were forced to believe that it did.” Samhain/Halloween is to some people a very spiritual and magickal time of the year; for some it’s a time of fun and candy, perhaps a way to celebrate Fall in general. Still for others, perhaps a time to contemplate their own mortality, since the modern holiday mocks death. With the beginning of the dark half of the year, it is also a time to play on a few of the basic/core fears of humankind - fear of what lurks in the dark, and fear of death. Some perhaps are not quite sure what to make of it and prefer to steer clear of it; in the end however, we are forced to conclude that, like it or not, Halloween is only ‘evil’ for those who choose to make it so. When we celebrate Halloween, we are definitely participating in a tradition with deep historical roots. But those roots are firmly situated in the medieval Christian past, not an ancient pagan one.
