What does Halloween mean to you?

$Scream (Dimension Collector\'s Series)$ So it’s that time of year again. The time when goblins, witches, demons, devils, ghosts, vampires, warewolves, grim reapers, warlocks, mummies and all that is the evil side of the supernatural, come out to play.

Halloween can be innocent, and for many people it is. But it can also be evil. It’s a day of sin and lust; celebrating horror, death, the macabre and all that is bad.

Halloween Night

So . . .I pose this question to you. What does Halloween mean to you personally? This is what it means to me:

Evil Reaper

Halloween for me is a time to celebrate what should never be celebrated . . . evil and evil things. It’s the opposite of Christmas, which celebrates Christ and all that is good and happy, Halloween celebrates the anti-Christ and all that is evil, scary and bad.

Pretty witch I think there can be good to be found in Halloween, and it depends on the person as to what they are actually celebrating (for me it’s all about candy and dressing up, which is how it should be), but the truth is many people use it to celebrate in part what it is for, and those people (Satanists, witches, goths, people into the macabre and horror, etc.) revel in the sin and evil of Halloween.

It’s their day. And most people celebrate it in innocence without realizing what goes on behind the scenes and in the shadows. It’s the only time a kid can dress up as a devil or a murderer and get praise, and that’s just wrong.

I will never celebrate Halloween for what it stands for, nor embrace it. But hey, we can always carve crosses into pumpkins and dress up as angels, right.

Get a clue folks. The foundation for Haloween is actually old than christianity, satanism or any other religion. It is in actuality a two fold event. First it is a celebration of a good harvest. That’s why the full moon in the month of October is also called the harvest moon. Secondly, it is also a celebration of life after death. People, spirits, souls or whatever you choose to call them by, that have passed on and left this earth and life as we know it and have moved on to what we hope is a better place.
