It’s probably appropriate to say a word or two concerning the eve of 31st of October. An old expression of the evening was Allhallows Eve, it was an evening spent in prayer and meditation, an evening of entering into the Silence, to evoke the Saints of the past, to abide with us, to bring us cheer and good will and blessings from the Spirit above. To show respect and appreciation of the unbeknown Mercy bestowed upon us because of their sacrifices, their becoming whole and complete before the eyes of God. Through their sacrifice we benefit. We are just not aware of this.
With the passing of the Hallowed Eve we enter midnight All Saints Day. Between midnight and the coming dawn much spiritual enlightenment can fall upon us, should your ritual be conducted with holiness in the mind. Let the motto of that night be “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to thy sight here tonight.”
When the completion of All Saints Day has passed away we enter into All Souls Day, the 2nd of November. On this day all those who live should make a pilgrimage to our local cemetery and pray for those who have passed and who may be in assistance of our prayer, and the power within that prayer, which, hopefully, should have been fully spiritualized during the devotion of All Saints Day. This prayer is Light and will descend into Darkness and gravitate toward the soul that is lost.
But this has all changed. Allhallows Eve is no longer a holy night but one filled with darkness. There is no more Silence and entering into the mystery of Midnight. The pumpkin symbolizes wholeness and completeness, it symbolizes what the Hallowed have become. But we pay them sacrilege by cutting out the wholeness within, so that that is no longer complete, and we mock the holiness by cutting ugly demonic faces upon the now empty shell.
Yes, sure, it’s only for fun that we do these things.
But, not known by the masses, there are others who are active during Halloween. And their rituals are not holy and clean, not to saints but demons, and we, in our ignorant silly blindness, the mad activities of the night, subliminally condone their rituals – and they still adhere to blood sacrifices.
