| | Halloween - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Still other Christians hold the view that the holiday is not Satanic in origin or practice and that it holds no threat to the spiritual lives of children: being taught about death and mortality actually being a valuable life lesson. | | | In the old Norse religion an event believed to occur around the same time of the year as Halloween was the álfablót (elven blót), which involved sacrifices to the elves and the blessing of food. | | | The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European pagan traditions, until it was appropriated by Christian missionaries and given a Christian interpretation. |

| | Halloween falls on the eve of All Saints’ Day, also known as Allhallows or Hallowmas, a holy day in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. | | | Halloween traditions thought to be incompatible with Christianity often became linked with Christian folk beliefs about evil spirits. | | | Most Halloween festivities are based on folk beliefs concerning supernatural forces and spirits of the dead. |

| | The Watchman Expositor: Halloween Profile |
| | Other Christians attempt to minimize the glorification of Halloween's Occult roots by refusing to directly participate in costuming or activities where witchcraft, Satan, or demonic themes are prevalent. | | | The Bible is replete with warnings and examples of involvement with the Occult. | | | There is not total agreement among believers and churches concerning appropriate Christian responses to this pagan holiday. |

| | Halloween History: the Real Origins |
| | Halloween is a time to deepen our connection to the cycles of the seasons, to the generations that have come before us and those that will follow, and to the Gods and Goddesses we worship. | | | Halloween is a time to lift the veil between the many material and spiritual worlds in divination, so as to gain spiritual insight about our pasts and futures. | | | The dead are honoured and feasted, not as the dead, but as the living spirits of loved ones and of guardians who hold the root-wisdom of the tribe. |

| | Halloween |
| | In the early centuries of the first millennium A.D., before missionaries such as St. Patrick and St. Columcille converted them to Christianity, the Celts practiced an elaborate religion through their priestly caste, the Druids, who were priests, poets, scientists and scholars all at once. | | | In so doing, they are reaffirming death and its place as a part of life in an exhilarating celebration of a holy and magic evening. | | | On that day all manner of beings were abroad: ghosts, fairies, and demons--all part of the dark and dread. |

| | Halloween -- The History and Customs of Halloween |
| | The word itself, "Halloween," actually has its origins in the Catholic Church. | | | As belief in spirit possession waned, the practice of dressing up like hobgoblins, ghosts, and witches took on a more ceremonial role. | | | Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? |

| | Halloween By Marvelicious |
| | Originally, Halloween was thought of as a religious holiday celebrated to scare away evil spirits. | | | Rejected by both the sacred and profane, he wandered the world endlessly looking for a place to rest, his only warmth a glittering candle in a rotten potato. | | | Much later the Roman Catholic Church set aside the first day of November to honor all the saints who had no special days of their own. |

| | The Halloween Encyclopedia by Lisa Morton |
| | The Halloween Encyclopedia should have been a feast for the mind, imagination, and senses, but is unlikely to inspire enthusiasm in either those new to the study of the subject or those with considerable interest in it. | | | In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the equivalent remembrances for the souls of the dead occur on the 'psychosavvata' or 'soul Saturday'; yet these take place in spring (like the ancient Greek 'Antheseria', the entry for which is to be found on p.13). | | | Anthropomorphic vegetable figures were a prominent Halloween symbol during the early twentieth century, when most Americans were still living agrarian lives, and yet there is no entry considering them, which may leave readers with the impression that the numinous aspects of many powerful Halloween symbols are simply beyond Morton's range of understanding or expression. |
