Thoughts On Halloween
BY THE ONE WHO COUNTS
Satanists celebrate Halloween as a day to be one’s true self, to present your internal state as external. To take off the mask. I’ve been thinking about this all day. As a transgender person and an autistic person, I think about the mask a lot already. What face do we present to the outside, and when?
But, today, when given the opportunity to be me unapologetically, I had so little to change. I wore my pentagram necklace outside my shirt today. I wore a shirt I usually reserve for weekends. I put horns on to make it a joke.
I am so lucky. I am so blessed. I have such remarkable privilege to exist in a place where I don’t, generally, have to live in fear of being myself anymore. It feels powerful to recognize this. Hail Satan, who gave a fucked up autistic tranny fag like me the confidence to put their innermost self on the outside, not just on Halloween but every day.

I dressed up for Halloween as a version of myself, that’s able to be a devil-worshiper, in public without fear of persecution … and managed to meet another satanist, before I even had my morning coffee. Hello to the security guard who chatted religion with me this morning — you made my day.

Holiday to celebrate indulgence and embrace the darkness and its aesthetic — Halloween is consistently described as evil, demonic, and satanic by those steeped in religious dogma. Costumes, candy, and facing fears are to be embraced.

Halloween’s Demonic Origins Halloween began as a religious festival dedicated to Samhain, the Lord of Death in some ancient European belief systems. Various sources relate that on October 31st Samhain would dispatch spirits to attack and harass humans.
As time passed, in those parts of the world celebrating this festival, this day and its night became increasingly darker, characterized by belief in wandering ghosts, goblins, zombies, vampires, black cats, bats, demons, and other symbols of the occult and underworld.
The day also gradually took on significance for Devil worshipers, some of whom came to believe that October 31st was a day the Devil’s help could be invoked for divinations (seeking knowledge of future events) concerning marriages, health issues, financial decisions, etc.

Why Christians should not celebrate Halloween — Halloween is a devil’s holiday, not a Christian observance.
The founder of the church of Satan said that dressing up, either by wearing a costume or coloring oneself for Halloween, is tantamount to worshiping the devil. Anton LaVey, the founder of the church of Satan, himself declared that dressing up, either by wearing a costume or by coloring oneself in celebration of Halloween, signifies that you allow Satan to own you. He further said that when you adopt pagan practices, you subconsciously dedicate yourself to the devil. He took joy in Christians who take part in the tradition, saying:
“I am glad that Christian parents let their children worship the devil at least one night out of the year. Welcome to Halloween.”
LaVey’s statement is corroborated by a former Satanist, John Ramirez, who said that when you dress up even as an angel or a mermaid for Halloween, “you give the devil the legal rights to change your identity.” Ramirez further warned that there’s a much darker reality in Halloween beyond costumes and candy. The former Satanist turned Christian pastor said in an interview on CBS News (October 20, 2018):
“I was a general to the kingdom of darkness in witchcraft. I would sit with the devil and talk to him like I’m talking to you today. It was that kind of communication. It was that kind of relationship.”

Halloween Is a ‘Trick of the Devil,’ Warns Satanist-Turned-Christian — As the annual debate nears about whether Christians should celebrate Halloween, one man who spent 25 years immersed in Satanism issues a strong warning. John Ramirez, a born-again minister who strives to “make Jesus Christ proud,” tells CBN News he once “sold my soul to the devil.”
He got married on Halloween in a “demonic wedding” and baptized his 11-year-old daughter “to the dark side.” Satanism was his entire life, Ramirez tells Charlene Aaron. He “breathed, ate, and slept witchcraft,” trying to capture people for the devil by astral-projecting and placing curses. “Celebrate Halloween? Don’t cheat on God” — Says a Former Satanist.

“Halloween – Satan’s favorite day of the year.” — Halloween is a demonically-inspired pagan festival dating back many centuries to ancient England. It goes way back to the ancient Celtic tribes of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Britain. On October 31, the tribes would celebrate the festival of Samhain.
During this festival, the Celts believed the souls of the dead – including ghosts, goblins, and witches – returned to mingle with the living. And so, In order to scare away the evil spirits, people would wear masks and light bonfires and so on. How can that ever be Christianized?

Thoughts on Halloween — October is also one of the months that I hate the most. It is one of the most hated months because of Halloween. Everywhere you look there are pictures of ghosts, ghouls, goblins, skeletons, witches, graves, and every other image of death imaginable.
People will stand in line for hours, and pay good money, to walk through a “Haunted house” that they know is not haunted, and yet still get scared when they walk through it. Then, there is the jack-o-lantern, costumes, make-up, and of course trick-or-treating.

Halloween XXXIV A.S. — Halloween is traditionally a time when the obscure portal into the realms of darkness, death, and the supernatural is thrown open. Demons and spirits have free reign for one night, cavorting, enticing us into their revels, and revealing glimpses into the future.
As a child drawn to darker passions from birth, I always delighted in the fear and fantasies of Halloween. It gives even the most mundane people the opportunity to taste wickedness for one night.
They have a chance to dance with the Devil, either stumbling, tittering, and nervous in the arms of the Black Prince or boldly, ravenously sharing in the sensual excesses and fright of others on this magical, unholy night. Now, birth and death have, for me, become inextricably interwoven into this day.

Satan’s Birthday — All Hallows’ Eve may go back as far as the ancient Romans, who honored Pomona, a goddess of apples, pears, etc. For the Celts, it was a time to mark the end of the summer, which died on October 31, a festival known as Samhain. This made November 1 the start of a new year. It was a time of ceremony, sacrificial offering, and a time to put away cattle and store food.
In the 8th century, Western Christianity moved the Springtime Saints’ feast day, known as All Saints’ Day, to November 1, unintentionally creating a sort of competitive religious holiday. Well, that conflict certainly isn’t unique to the 20th century. History shows that there has been a long, rocky relationship between Christianity and Halloween. The Puritans, for example, were known for outlawing the holiday; this banning was also the case for Christmas. Puritans were big on abolishing anything that remotely resembled superstition to them. On the plus side, they enjoyed beer.
