Nights

b. September 21 -22 -- Autumnal Equinox

c. October 31 -- Samhain, also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve.
This date is the Illuminati's highest day of human sacrifice

Isn't it interesting how the "profane" -- you and me -- are led like a
flock of sheep to observe the important festival days of the
Mysteries' Religion? You may not understand that you are ordering your
year after pagan holidays, but you are! The annual calendar for the
entire Western world is ordered by these Satanic festival times and
days.

Now that we have seen the entire occult calendar, let us go back to
the significant holidays to see how the Western world has slipped into
a worship of the same pagan holidays and are using many of the same
pagan symbols that are so important to the pagan worshipper. The human
sacrifice required during many of these occult dates needs to contain
the following elements, each one of which is exaggerated to the
highest possible degree:

1. Trauma, stress, and mental anguish, sheer terror

2. The final act in the drama should be destruction by a fire;
preferably a conflagration.

3. People must die as human sacrifices, especially children, since
Lord Satan looks upon a younger human sacrifice as his most desirable

SPECIFIC DATES WITHIN THE OCCULT CALENDAR


1. Winter Solstice -- 13 weeks

a. December 21- 22 -- Yule -- When the sun begins its northward trek
in the sky, and days began to grow longer again, pagans celebrated the
Winter Solstice by burning the Yule log. Since the sun had reversed
itself and was now rising in the sky, pagans believed this was a sign
that the human sacrifices carried out in Samhain (Halloween) had been
accepted by the gods.

We continue to sing: "Deck the halls with boughs of holly ... troll
the ancient Yuletide carol ... See the blazing Yule before us. Fa la
la la la la la la." ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", David
Ingraham, p. 71]

The Roman Catholic Church later changed the day of celebration to
December 25, calling it Christmas.

Consider the pagan roots of our popular symbols of Christmas:

(1) Christmas Tree -- The sacred tree of the winter-god; Druids
believed the spirit of their gods resided in the tree. Most ancient
pagans knew the tree represented Nimrod reincarnated into Tammuz!
Pagans also looked upon the tree as a phallic symbol.

(2) Star -- Pentalpha, the five-pointed star. The pentalpha is a
powerful symbol of Satan, second only to the hexagram. The star is the
sacred symbol of Nimrod, and has nothing whatsoever to do with
Christianity.

(3) Candles represent the sun-gods' newly-born fire. Pagans the world
over love and use candles in their rituals and ceremonies. Certain
colors are also thought to represent specific powers. The extensive
use of candles is usually a very good indication that the service is
pagan, no matter what the outward trappings might be.

(4) Mistletoe is the sacred plant of the Druids, symbolizing pagan
blessings of fertility; thus, kissing under the mistletoe is the first
step in the reproductive cycle! Witches also use the white berries in
potions.

(5) Wreaths are circular, and so they represent the female sexual
organs. Wreaths are associated with fertility and the "circle of
life".

(6) Santa Claus -- Former Satanists have told me that "Santa" is an
anagram for "Satan". In the New Age, the god, "Sanat Kamura", is most
definitely an anagram for "Satan". The mythical attributes and powers
ascribed to Santa are eerily close to those possessed by Jesus Christ.
We have written a perennial favorite article describing these
similarities, NEWS1132. We encourage to read this article, for you
will see that our popular tradition of Santa Clause has spiritually
replaced Jesus Christ!

(7) Reindeer are horned animals representing the "horned-god" or the
"stag-god" of pagan religion! Santa's traditional number of reindeer
in his team is eight (8); in Satanic gematria, eight is the number of
"new beginnings", or the cycle of reincarnation. The Illuminati views
the number "eight" as a symbol of their New World Order.

(8) Elves are imp-like creatures who are Santa's (Satan's) little
helpers. They are also demons.

(9) Green and Red are the traditional colors of the season, as they
are the traditional pagan colors of winter. Green is Satan's favorite
color, so it is appropriate it should be one of the traditional colors
for Christmas; red is the color of human blood, Satan's highest form
of sacrifice -- for this reason, Communism adopted red as it main
color!

(10) December 25 is known as the "nativity" of the sun. This date is
the birthday of Tammuz, the son, the reincarnation of the sun god.
Traditionally, December 21 is known as Yule. The Roman Catholic Church
moved the celebration of Yule to December 25.

(11) December 25 is also known to the Romans as "Saturnalia", a time
of deliberate debauchery. Drinking through repeated toasting -- known
as 'wassail' -- was a key to the debauchery of this celebration.
Fornication was symbolized by the mistletoe, and the entire event was
finished with a Great Feast, the Christmas Dinner.

(12) Even the name, "Christmas" is pagan! "Christi" meant "Christ",
while "Mas" meant Mass. Since all pagan Masses are commemorating
"death", the name, "Christmas" literally means the "death of Christ".
A deeper meaning lies in the mention of "Christ" without specifying
Jesus. Thus, Antichrist is in view here; the pagans celebrate
"Christmas" as a celebration of their coming Antichrist, who will deal
a death blow to the Jesus Christ of Christianity.

Early American Christian Pilgrims refused to celebrate this day.

b. February 1 and 2 -- Candlemas and Imbolg, popularly called
Groundhog's Day. The popular "Punxsutawney Phil" groundhog comes out
of his burrow to divine the next few weeks of weather. If he sees his
shadow, we will have 6 more weeks of bad weather until Spring finally
arrives; if he does not see his shadow, the next 7 weeks before Spring
will be good weather. Notice this pagan tradition features both the
number '6' and '7', which when added, equals '13'.

What most people do not realize is that the pagan view of Groundhog's
Day (Imbolg) represents the Earth Mother. Consider these uncanny
parallels between the Groundhog and the Earth Mother:

1. As the Earth goddess sleeps inside the earth during the winter
season, so does the Groundhog

2. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog bridge the two time
periods: Winter and Spring

3. Both the goddess and the Groundhog are "earth" creatures

4. Both the goddess and the Groundhog "awaken" in Springtime

5. Both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog complete the "cycle of
reincarnation"

6. Annually, both the Earth goddess and the Groundhog represent the
cycle of "rebirth" and "renewal"

The name, "Groundhog" was substituted for the Satanic name of the
holiday, Imbolg, a night requiring human sacrifice.

c. February 14 -- Valentine's Day -- is a pagan festival that
encourages love and physical lust. It is celebrated precisely 13 days
after Imbolg, thus imprinting upon it the number '13', Satan's number
of extreme rebellion. While most people view this day as the day to
honor your wife or your lover, this celebration is steeped in paganism

Consider the camouflaged occult gods in Valentine's Day:

1. Cupid, the son of Venus, is really Tammuz, son of Semiramis

2. Venus, daughter of Jupiter, is really Semiramis herself. Jupiter is
the head deity, a sun god -- Nimrod, Semiramis' husband, is considered
a sun god in the Babylonian Mysteries.

Listen to a pagan author describe February, the month in which
Valentine's Day falls. "The name of this month comes from the Roman
goddess Februa and St. Febronia (from Febris, the fever of love). She
is the patroness of the passion of love ... Her orgiastic rites are
celebrated on 14 February -- still observed as St. Valentine's Day --
when, in Roman times, young men would draw billets naming their female
partners ... This is a time of clear vision into other worlds,
expressed by festivals of purification. On 1 February is the
celebration of the cross-quarter day, or fire festival (Imbolc) a
purificatory festival. It is followed on the 2nd by its Christian
counterpart, Candlemas, the purification of the Virgin Mary." ["The
Pagan Book of Days", Nigel Pennick, p. 37]

Valentine's Day is a day of "orgiastic rites" in which the pagans
encouraged the flow of lustful passion.

2. Spring Equinox -- 13 weeks -- Minor Sabbath but does require human
sacrifice

a. March 21-22 -- Goddess Ostara (Ishtar, also spelled, "Eostre"), for
whom "Easter" is named -- March 21 is one of the Illuminati's Human
Sacrifice Nights

Easter is a shifting date using the common practice of Astrology; it
is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first new moon after
Ostara.

This date also has nothing to do with the resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ! Rather, this day in the pagan tradition celebrates the
return of Semiramis into her reincarnated form of the Spring Goddess.
The pagans even have an equivalent to our Good Friday! It is "Easter
Friday", and has historically been timed to be the third full moon
from the start of the year. Since the marrying of pagan Easter to
Jesus' resurrection, Good Friday is permanently fixed on the Friday
prior to Easter.

Easter is steeped in the Babylonian Mysteries, the single most evil
idolatrous system ever invented by Satan! All throughout the prophetic
Scriptures, we see God declaring His final judgment upon wicked
Babylon! Yet, every year, Christian pastors intone "Easter" as though
it were Christian. Many Independent Baptist preachers have begun
referring to this day celebrating Jesus' resurrection as "Resurrection
Sunday", in order to separate the day from the pagan celebration.

The Babylonian goddess, Ishtar, is the one for whom Easter is named;
["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p. 9] in reality, she was Semiramis,
wife of Nimrod, and the real founder of the Satanic Babylonian
Mysteries. After Nimrod died, Semiramis created the legend that he was
really her Divine Son born to her in a Virgin Birth. She is considered
to be the co-founder of all occult religions, along with Nimrod.

Easter -- the day of Ishtar -- is celebrated widely among various
cultures and religions on earth.

1. Babylon - Ishtar (Easter) also called the Moon Goddess
2. Catholics -- Virgin Mary (Queen of Heaven)
3. Chinese -- Shingmoo
4. Druids -- Virgo Paritura
5. Egypt -- Isis
6. The Pagan Ephesians -- Dianna
7. Etruscans -- Nutria
8. Germans (Ancient) -- Hertha
9. Greeks -- Aphrodite/Ceres
10. India -- Isi/Indrani
11. Ancient Jews -- Ashtaroth (Queen of Heaven)
12. Krishna -- Devaki
13. Rome -- Venus/Fortuna
14. Scandinavians -- Disa
15. Sumerians -- Nana ["America's Occult Holidays", Doc Marquis and
Sam Pollard. p. 13]


The Babylonians celebrated the day as the return of Ishtar (Easter),
the goddess of Spring. This day celebrated the rebirth, or
reincarnation, of Nature and the goddess of Nature. According to
Babylonian legend, a huge egg fell from heaven, landing in the
Euphrates River. The goddess, Ishtar (Easter) broke out of this egg.
Later, the feature of an egg nesting was introduced, a nest where the
egg could incubate until hatched. A "wicker" or reed basket was
conceived in which to place the Ishtar egg.

The Easter Egg Hunt was conceived because, if anyone found her egg
while she was being "reborn", she would bestow a blessing upon that
lucky person! Because this was a joyous Spring festival, eggs were
colored with bright Spring colors. [Ibid.]

The Easter Bunny

"The Goddess' totem, the Moon-hare, would lay eggs for good children
to eat ... Eostre's hare was the shape that Celts imagined on the
surface of the full moon ...." ["Pagan Traditions of Holidays", p.
10.] Do not bother to tell me that bunnies do not lay eggs, for I know
that; we are dealing with a legend here, and an occult legend at that.
These types of legends traditionally play loose and fast with facts.

Thus, "Easter" -- Eostre, or Ishtar -- was a goddess of fertility.
Since the bunny is a creature that procreates quickly, it symbolized
the sexual act; the egg symbolized "birth" and "renewal". Together,
the Easter Bunny and Easter Egg symbolizes the sex act and its
offspring, Semiramis and Tammuz.

Thus, it is a very serious spiritual matter, indeed, when christian
churches incorporate "Resurrection Eggs" as part of their Easter
celebration. At the very least, these churches are confusing the minds
of their precious young children, by blurring the dividing line
between pagan symbols and their meanings and Christian meanings of
Resurrection Day. Young children who participated in "Resurrection
Eggs" in church will be conditioned later in their life to accept the
fullness of the pagan tradition revolving around the same symbols.

At worst, a church participating in the pagan Easter tradition by
promoting "Resurrection Eggs" and perhaps an Easter Egg Hunt, is
guilty of combining Christianity with paganism, the very lethal
cocktail the Lord Jesus will always reject! Remember our key verse:

"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing"

If your church has "Resurrection Eggs", that is a church you should
consider leaving immediately; if the Senior Pastor is Liberal enough
to use "Resurrection Eggs" in his Resurrection Day celebrations, he is
probably Liberal in Doctrine and Theology, but may not be far enough
along for you to see it yet.

Other Pagan Ingredients

Easter Offerings are derived from the tradition where the priests and
priestesses would bring offerings to the pagan temples for Easter.
They brought freshly-cut Spring flowers and candies to place on the
altar of the idol they worshipped. They would also bake Hot Cross
Buns, decorating them with crosses symbolizing the cross of Wotan, or
some other pagan god; these crosses were not originally the cross of
Jesus Christ. This is another instance where Satan counterfeited a
pagan tradition that could later be passed off as "Christian" in a
church seriously compromised by Syncretization.

In fact, the first instance of Hot Cross Buns can be traced back to
about 1,500 BC, to Cecrops, the Founder of Athens [Marquis, p. 18] In
Old Testament celebrations in apostate Israel, we see women angering
God because they baked these type of cakes to offer them in worship to
the Queen of Heaven [Jeremiah 17:17-18]. The footnote for this title,
"Queen of Heaven" in the Amplified Bible Commentary says, "A goddess
of fertility, probably the Babylonian title for Ishtar. She is
identified with the planet, Venus. Offerings to this goddess included
cakes made in the shape of a star." Later pagans used not just the
shape of a Pentalpha star, but also the Hot Cross Bun.

Another popular Easter offering were freshly made or purchased
clothes! The priests would wear their best clothes, while the Vestal
Virgins would wear newly-made white dresses. They would also wear
headgear, like bonnets, while many would adorn themselves in garlands
of Spring flowers. They would carry wicker baskets filled with foods
and candies to offer to the pagan gods and goddesses.

Easter Sunrise Services were originated by the priest serving the
Babylonian Ishtar to symbolically hasten the reincarnation of
Ishtar/Easter. Once again, we see how Satan knew that Jesus' rising
from the grave would be discovered in the early sunrise hours, and
that the Christian Church would want to hold Sunrise Services to
celebrate. Satan and his demons know and believe God's Word and its
prophecies literally, and they are allowed a certain amount of
foreknowledge. Just as Satan counterfeited the Divine birth of a male
child to a Virgin Mother fully 1,000 years before Jesus was actually
born, so he counterfeited this Sunrise Service.

Lent is purely pagan, and yet has been accepted by the Roman Catholic
Church and apostate christian churches as "christian". If the church
you are attending celebrates Lent, you need to inform the Senior
Pastor of the pagan roots of this tradition; if he will not listen you
should leave that church, for if they will accept Lent as "Christian",
you can bet they are very Liberal in critical Biblical areas as well.

Lent is a commemoration of Tammuz' death; the legend of his death says
that he was killed by a wild boar when he was 40 years old. Therefore,
Lent celebrates 1 day for each year of Tammuz' life. [Marquis,
"America's Occult Holidays"] Participants are to express their sorrow
over Tammuz' untimely death by weeping, fasting, and
self-chastisement.

Lent was commemorated for exactly 40 days prior to the celebration of
Ishtar/Esotre and other goddesses by the following cultures:
Babylonians, Roman Catholics, Koordistan, Mexicans, Ancient Israel,
and today, Liberal, apostate Protestant churches.

We can see God's anger over this commemoration of Lent in Ezekiel
8:14-18; God's judgment for this commemoration is described in Ezekiel
9, a chapter we suggest you read carefully, for God has stated that He
will similarly punish any nation who does not "hear and obey" His
commands (Jeremiah 12:17).

b. April 1 -- All Fool's Day, precisely 13 weeks since New Year's Day!

c. April 19 - May 1 -- Blood Sacrifice To The Beast, a most critical
13-day period. Fire sacrifice is required on April 19.

April 19 is the first day of the 13-day Satanic ritual day relating to
fire -- the fire god, Baal, or Molech/Nimrod (the Sun God), also known
as the Roman god, Saturn (Satan/Devil). This day is a major human
sacrifice day, demanding fire sacrifice with an emphasis on children.
This day is one of the most important human sacrifice days, and as
such, has had some very important historic events occur on this day.

Remember, the Illuminati considers war to be a most propitious way to
sacrifice, for it kills both children and adults.

Some of the very important historic dates that were staged according
to this blood sacrifice day are:

(1). April 19, 1775 -- Battle of Lexington & Concord, which made the
Masonic-led Revolutionary War inevitable

(2). April 19, 1943 -- After trapping the last Jewish Resistance
Fighters in a storm drain in Warsaw, and holding them for several
days, Nazi Storm Troopers began to pour fire into each end of the
storm drain, using flame-throwers. They continued pouring the fire
into the drain until all fighters were dead. Blood sacrifice brought
about by a fiery conflagration.

(3) April 19, 1993 -- 50 years later, to the day, government troops,
tanks, and other military equipment stormed the compound of David
Koresh and his followers at Waco, Texas. Certainly, this operation
fulfilled the basic requirements for a human sacrifice: trauma, fire,
and young sacrificial victims.

(4) April 19, 1995 -- Oklahoma City bombing -- Once again, many young
children were killed this day

April 19 of any year in the 20th Century is a day of fearful
contemplation, for it seems that, as we head into the final stretch of
time, Satan is becoming more and more bold, and is using April 19 more
often.

d. April 30 - May 1 -- Beltaine Festival, also called "Walpurgis
Night". This is the highest day on the Druidic Witch's Calendar, while
May 1 is the Illuminati's second most sacred holiday. Human sacrifice
is required. Since the celebration officially began the night before
Beltaine, the tradition has developed among occultists to celebrate
Beltaine as a 2-day ceremony. This tradition was strong enough that
Adolf Hitler decided to kill himself on April 30 at 3:30pm, thus
creating a "333" and placing his suicide sacrifice within the Beltaine
time frame.

Great bonfires are lit on the Eve of Beltaine, April 30, in order to
welcome the Earth Goddess. Participants hope to gain favor with this
goddess so she will bless their families with procreative fertility.
We find it interesting that the Royal House of Windsor lights a
Beltaine "Balefire" every year ["America's Occult Holidays", Doc
Marquis, p. 30]

The "Maypole" originated from the celebration of Beltaine. Since
fertility is being asked of the Earth Goddess, the Maypole is the
phallic symbol and the circular dance around the pole forms the circle
that is symbolic of the female sex organ. Four six-foot alternating
red and white ribbons were connected to the pole; the men would dance
counterclockwise, while the ladies danced clockwise. The union of the
intertwining red and white ribbons symbolized the act of copulation --
remember, this is a "fertility" celebration day!

To demonstrate their occult, Illuminist ties, Communists have always
celebrated "May Day". If you have not been taught how the Illuminati
created Communism, and for which purpose, you need to hear our Seminar
2, "America Determines The Flow of History".

3. Summer Solstice -- 13 weeks -- When the sun reaches its
northernmost point in its journey across the sky

a. June 21 - 22 -- Summer Solstice

b. June 21 - Litha is one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

c. July 4, America's Independence Day, is 13 days after Day of Litha
and 66 days from April 30

d. July 19 -- 13 days before Lughnasa

e. July 31 - August 1 -- Lughnasa, Great Sabbat Festival. August --
One of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice Nights

4. Autumnal Equinox -- 13 weeks -- Minor Sabbath but does require
human sacrifice

a. September 21 - Mabon -- one of the Illuminati's Human Sacrifice
Nights

b. September 21 -22 -- Autumnal Equinox -- From this date through
Halloween, occultists believe the veil separating the earthly
dimension from the demonic realm gets progressively thinner, with the
thinnest night being October 31; this thinning of the separating veil
makes it easier for the demonic realm to enter the earthly dimension.
Thus, on Halloween, evil spirits, ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black
cats, fairies, and demons of all sorts were believed to be running
amok across the land. They had to be back in their spiritual dimension
before midnight, Halloween, for the separating veil would then get
thicker.

Once again, I reiterate, this is occult belief, not mine! October is a
most propitious month to the Illuminati.

c. October 31 -- Samhain, also known as Halloween, or All Hallows Eve
as designated by the Catholic Church. This date is the Illuminati's
highest day of human sacrifice

Halloween has been changed over the past 30 years in two important
ways. First, children have been encouraged to participate by donning
such inoffensive costumes as Barbie, Wonder Woman, Batman and
Superman. Secondly, adult costuming and parties have reached a
tremendous apex and has become a most macabre day of celebration.

Historically, Halloween is the deadliest holiday ever celebrated in
human history. This Satanic night is dedicated to the Celtic Lord of
the Dead, also symbolized by the Horned-god and the Stag-god. The
Druids celebrated Samhain as a 3-day fire festival, building huge
bonfires, thought to ward off demons that roamed around; additionally,
the fires provided the means by which the required human sacrifice
would be presented to the sun god. In enormous wicker baskets, the
priests caged both human and animal sacrifices, which they then
lowered into the flames. The priests would carefully watch the manner
in which the victim died in order to predict whether the future held
good or evil. ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays", p. 71]

Origin of Popular Halloween Traditions

Sweets and Trick or Treat

This pagan practice is over 2,000 years old. For the sake of their
safety and well-being, people put outside their home sweets, the best
mutton legs, vegetables, eggs, and poultry, honey and even wine, so
the wandering evil spirits would consume them on their way back to the
netherworld. Failure to "treat" these evil spirits might result in a
curse being put on the home! The people literally believed that, when
these spirits came to your door, they would trick you if you did not
treat them.

"The American version of Halloween came from Ireland ... The potato
famine in 1840 brought thousands of immigrants from the Emerald Isle.
With them came goblins, jack-0-lanterns, bonfires, apples, nuts, and
pranks ... The Irish are also responsible for bringing trick or
treating to great popularity in America. In Ireland on October 31,
peasants went from house to house to receive offerings to their Druid
god, Muck Olla. This procession stopped at each house to tell the
farmer his prosperity was due to the benevolence of Muck Olla ... or
else misfortune might befall the farmer and his crops. Few farmers
risked any such displeasure of the pagan deity, so the procession
returned home with eggs, butter, potatoes, and in some cases, coins
... To the Irish farmers this was no joke; they greatly feared the
Celtic god might destroy their homes and barns ... Trick or treat is
part of this pagan heritage." ["Pagan Traditions of the Holidays". p.
78-79].

Horrifying Costumes

People would also take burning wisps from the bonfire and wave them
around to frighten the many evil spirits roaming the earth; in case
the burning wisp alone would not work, revelers clothed themselves in
the most hideous and terrifying costumes. These people believed that,
if you dressed in a terrifying costume and went trooping around with
the spirits all night, they would think you were one of them and would
leave you alone. ["Halloween and Satanism", Phil Philips, p. 26-27]

Huge Bonfires

Satan's obsession with fire has produced human obsession with building
huge bonfires. As we stated earlier, these bonfires were practical, in
that they provided the means by which the priests sacrificed the human
and animal sacrifices so crucial to Halloween. When the last fires
died out, people would race each other down the hills shouting, "The
Devil gets the last one down". [Philips, p. 27-28]

Divinations

Samhain (Halloween) was also the time to engage the Devil's assistance
in divining the future. Questions concerning marriage, luck, health,
and the time of one's death were most popular subjects of divination.
In Scotland, young people assembled for games and pulled shoots out of
the ground to ascertain which of them would marry during the coming
year, and in what order the marriages should occur.

Snap Apple Night

Apples have long been a token of love and fertility. At Halloween
parties, people bobbed for apples in tubs of water. If a boy came up
with an apple between his teeth, he was assured of the love of his
girl. The Snap Apple game was one in which the boys delighted. Each
boy, in his turn, would spring up to attempt to bite an apple that was
being twirled on the end of a stick; the first boy to succeed would be
the first to marry.

Apple seeds were also used to tell fortunes. Peeling an apple in one
long piece was supposed to tell a young girl about her future. The
girl would swing the apple peal three times around her head, then
throw it over her left shoulder. If the peeling fell unbroken, the
girl would examine the shape into which it fell to see if she could
ascertain the initials of her future husband!

Witch's Familiar Spirits

Owls, bats, cats and toads are an essential part of Halloween, and for
a very good reason: they are known as "the witch's familiars". A
divining familiar was the species of animal whose shape Satan would
assume to aid the witch in divining the future. A witch would closely
watch the animal's movements -- whether slow or fast -- and she would
see the direction in which the animal moved and the kinds of sounds it
made, in order to foretell the length of life and/or an impending
illness.

Other "familiar spirit" shapes include hens, geese, small dogs, rats,
butterflies, wasps crickets, and snails. Witches considered these
creatures to be demon-possessed and controlled. If you look closely at
most Halloween decorations, you will see these animals, but now you
know they represent demon possessed creatures! ["Pagan Traditions of
Holidays", p. 75-76]

Jack-O-Lantern and Trick-or-Treat

Various names for Jack-O-Lantern were 'Lantern Men', 'Hob-O-Langer',
and "Will-O-The-Wisp". The 'Lantern Men' got their name from pale
eerie lights that appeared over bogs and marshes in England. These
ghostly lights, which bobbed along like a lantern in someone's hand,
were called 'Corpse Candles'.Candles were said to be signals from the
souls of men lost at sea. ["Halloween and Satanism", Philips, p.
33-34]

Celts often hollowed out a turnip and carved a grotesque face on it to
fool demons. They carried such lanterns to light their way in the dark
and to ward off evil spirits ... While the turnip continues to be
popular in Europe today, the pumpkin has replaced it in America.
'Jack' is a nickname for 'John', which is a common slang word meaning
'man'. Jack-O-Lanterns literally means 'man with a lantern'. [Pagan
Traditions of the Holidays", p. 79-80]

Druid Trick-or-Treat

The Druids originated the practice of hollowing out the
Jack-O-Lanterns and filling them with human fat. Whenever a raiding
party came to a home to demand of the husband that someone inside be
surrendered as a human sacrifice, they would light a Jack-O-Lantern
filled with human fat; if the husband relented and provided one of his
loved ones as a sacrifice, the Druid party would leave Jack-O-Lantern
on the porch. This lantern would be tell the other raiding parties and
the demonic host that this party had surrendered a human for sacrifice
and that the remaining people inside were to be left alone.
Guaranteeing that no one else in the house would be killed that night
was the "Treat".

If the husband refused to surrender one of his loved ones, a "Trick"
would be placed upon the house. The members of the raiding party would
draw a large hexagram using human blood on the front door; they got
the blood for the hexagram from a dead body they dragged around with
them using a cabletow. The demonic host would be attracted to this
hexagram and would invade the house, causing one or more of the
inhabitants to either go insane or die from fright. ["America's Occult
Holidays", p. 20]

This is the true origin of "Trick-or-Treat" and the Jack-O-Lantern. Do
you really want to take your kids "Trick-or-Treating"?

Forbidden Practices Specially Associated With Halloween

God lists Satanic practices that He absolutely forbids, on the pain of
death! Every one of them is uniquely associated with Halloween!

1. Enchantment -- Act of influencing by charms and incantation using
the practice of magical arts. Such practices draw directly upon the
power of Satan! God forbids it in many places, chief among which is
Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

2. Witchcraft -- Dealing with demonic spirits, using their prescribed
methods, commonly called rituals and the "magick arts". The Bible
forbids it, as in Galatians 5:19-20. Today, thanks to "Harry Potter
and The Lord of the Rings, witchcraft is skyrocketing in popularity.
TV shows that depict witches are "Bewitched" and "Buffy The Vampire
Slayer", to just mention a couple. Go to a video store sometime and
walk down the "Horror" aisle, where you will see the popularity of
Witchcraft in America today.

3. Sorcery -- Use of power gained from the prescribed rituals demanded
by the demonic host. Once the witch or wizard performs the particular
ritual correctly, the demonic host is required to provide the power to
accomplish that action desired by the witch.

4. Divination -- Fortune telling and seeing into the future. God wants
us to trust in Him and His power, and not worry about tomorrow. Satan,
on the other hand, loves to get people consumed by the idea that they
can know what lies ahead of them. Forbidden in the Bible, Jeremiah
29:8-9 and Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

5. Wizardry -- The art or practices of a wizard, sorcery. A wizard or
witch is one skilled in the magick arts, a sorcerer. God forbids such
practices in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 and Leviticus 19:31.

6. Necromancy -- Communication with the dead. Specifically, conjuring
up the spirits of the dead for purposes of magically revealing the
future or influencing the course of events. Forbidden in Deuteronomy
18:10-12 and Isaiah 8:19.

7. Charm -- The practice of putting a spell on someone in order to
change or control their mind and/or behavior. Wizards love to get
their enemies "one-on-one" because they can "charm" them through the
use of ritual done before the meeting, and by the demonic host
residing within him. Adolf Hitler followed this practice closely as he
dealt with the leaders of Europe, Britain, and Russia. British Prime
Minister Chamberlain was totally charmed by Hitler as he sought to
appease the German dictator in Munich in 1938; Chamberlain was so
totally "charmed" by Hitler, he enthusiastically proclaimed after
returning from Munich that he had achieved "peace in our time".

When dealing with a powerful member of the Illuminati, do not attempt
to meet with him, nor place any confidence in the testimony of people
who have met with him. A "charm" ritual is easily performed and
results in the leader exuding confidence, character, and sincerity
they most assuredly do not possess. God forbids this activity in
Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

8. Stargazing or Astrology -- Divination of the supposed influence of
the stars and other heavenly bodies upon human lives and the affairs
of nations. Occultists literally order their lives according to
Astrology and numerics. God forbids this activity in Deuteronomy
18:10-12 and Jeremiah 10:2. Also called "Observing the Times".

9. Soothsaying -- foretelling events and prophesying through a spirit
other than the Holy Spirit. Forbidden in Micah 5:12 and implied
strongly in Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

10. Prognostication -- To foretell from signs and symptoms, also
prophesying without the Holy Spirit. Forbidden in Isaiah 47:12-13.

11. Magic -- Tapping into the power of the demonic realm through the
use of prescribed ritual so that the action carried out is
accomplished through demonic power. Forbidden in Deuteronomy 18:10-12,
2 Chronicles 33:6, 1 Samuel 15:23.

All these activities are uniquely associated with the activities and
traditions of Halloween! Christians have no business participating in
Halloween. To do so is to act against a great number of Scriptures in
which God uses the strongest possible language to forbid it. In fact,
in most instances, God decreed that people practicing these activities
be put to death!

Yet, we see many churches having Halloween parties in which many of
these pagan practices are followed! The Apostle Paul gave us strong
warning that should stop us dead in our tracks. Listen:

"Let no one delude and deceive you with empty excuses and groundless
arguments for these sins, for through these things the wrath of God
comes upon the sons of rebellion and disobedience." Ephesians 5:6]

Stop listening to people giving you "empty excuses and groundless
arguments for these sins", for if you go ahead and participate in this
most evil holiday, God shall surely not look away.

One final note on Halloween: if you have been paying attention, you
will know that these practices form the heart and soul of the Harry
Potter novels and movies. Harry Potter is a wizard, and he comes from
a family of witches and wizards [Generational Witchcraft]. His entire
existence within these novels revolves around the Hogwarts School of
Wizardry and Witchcraft, where Harry and his friends learn all of
these 11 forbidden practices.

Author Rowling makes all this Satanic activity seem so cool and so
much fun that tens of millions of young children have been attracted
to the Dark Arts forbidden by God. Yet, Christian parents and some
Christian ministries foolishly swallow the lie that, somehow, these
prohibitions do not apply to them as they read and watch Harry Potter.

Truly, I view this unbelievable phenomenon as a symptom of the
"apostasy" of the Christian Church foretold by the Apostle Paul as a
key sign of the approach of Antichrist.

"Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not
come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great
falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come..."
[2 Thessalonians 2:2; KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary].

Literally, Christians participating in practices like these opens the
door to Antichrist!

CONCLUSION

Since we are obviously living in the End of the Age, what manner of
living ought we to be following? The Apostle Peter, speaking through
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, told us exactly what kind of life
we should be persuing.

"Since all these things are thus in the process of being dissolved,
what kind of person ought each of you to be, in the meanwhile, in
consecrated and holy behavior and devout and godly qualities, While
you wait and earnestly long for (expect and hasten) the coming of the
day of God ... So, beloved, since you are expecting these things, be
eager to be found by Him, at His coming, without spot or blemish and
at peace, in serene confidence, free from fears and agitating passions
and moral conflicts." [2 Peter 3:11, 14; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified
Bible Commentary]

The Apostle Peter urges us who realize the closeness of the hour to
be:

"consecrated, holy behavior, devout and godly"

"without spot or blemish and at peace, in serene confidence, free from
fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts"

Further, Jesus told us that we would find these Holy Spirit qualities
in our life by "separating" from evil. Listen to the sequence in 2 Cor
6:17-18:

Step #1 -- Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate

Step #2 -- Touch not the unclean thing

Step #3 -- and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty

Whether you like it or not, Jesus will not receive those who try to
serve paganism and Christianity. If you are participating in any of
these activities that have been spawned by Satanism, you need to
closely examine your heart, soul, and mind, ruthlessly purging
anything and everything that might hinder you from receiving Jesus'
blessing. Believe me, the infilling of the Holy Spirit will more than
compensate you for any pleasure you have given up by doing these pagan
acts.

Jesus is coming soon, but first Antichrist must come. Are you
spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your
loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to
first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop
strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been
thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open
the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use
it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result.
These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for
Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have
been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to
immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly
forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit.
Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible
Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to
realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to
accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the
privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are
spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were
already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of
Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page
now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate
and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order --
Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact us by mail or email.


God bless you.

Title: OCCULT HOLIDAYS AND HOW AMERICA HAS COPIED MANY OF THEM!


Subtitle: Too many Christians are enthusiastically celebrating pagan
holidays, thinking they are Christian. Once you understand how very
pagan America and the rest of the Western world has become, you can
see how God's judgment cannot be far behind.
"She has become a resort and dwelling place for demons, a dungeon
haunted by every loathsome spirit, an abode for every filthy and
detestable bird ... I then heard another voice from heaven saying,
Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins,
neither participate in her plagues." [Rev 18:2, 4]

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what
this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually
implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily
news!!

Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!

Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the
same way again.

BIBLICAL COMMANDS AGAINST WORSHIPPING AS THE PAGANS

Biblical Call For Complete and Utter Separation From Evil

"Choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods
of the Amorites ..." [Josh 24:15]

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." [Matt 6:24]

"Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after
their works." [Ex 23:24]

"... if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee."
[Ex 23:33]

"And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that
believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and
they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons
and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." [2 Cor 6:15-18]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Throughout Scripture, God has warned His people they were not to serve
foreign false gods, nor copy their "works". Yet, generation after
generation of Jews in the Old Testament found the idolatrous worship
system of the pagan countries surrounding them to be absolutely
irresistible. As you read throughout the Old Testament, you will
discover God warning His people time and again not to follow the
religion, the traditions, or the practices of the Satanic worshipping
nations surrounding Israel.

Yet, time and again, Israel refused to heed God's warnings, and
plunged deeply into the pagan worship of their neighbors. This
paganism even took hold in the inner government circles, led by wicked
kings and queens, and in the Temple, by idolatrous Jewish priests. On
numerous occasions, God raised up a righteous king who would
immediately begin a physical purge of the temples, the priests, and
the Jewish followers of Baal, the favorite demon-god of that era. God
recorded these times of purging for us, so let us examine some of the
passages where God ordered a purging of Baal worship.

"But you shall destroy their altars, dash in pieces their pillars
(obelisks, images), and cut down their Asherim [symbols of the goddess
Asherah]." [Exodus 34:13; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible
Commentary]

"They brought out the pillars or obelisks of the house of Baal and
burned them." [2 Kings 10:26; Ibid.]

"He took away the foreign altars and high places and broke down the
idol pillars or obelisks and cut down the Asherim [symbols of the
goddess Asherah]. [2 Chronicles 14:3; Ibid.]

"NOW WHEN all this was finished, all Israel present there went out to
the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars or obelisks, cut
down the Asherim, and threw down the high places [of idolatry] and the
altars in all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim and Manasseh, until they
had utterly destroyed them all." [2 Chronicles 31:1; Ibid.]

"Nebuchadrezzar shall break also the images and obelisks of Heliopolis
[called On or Beth-shemesh--house of the sun] in the land of Egypt,
and the temples of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire."
[Jeremiah 43:13; Ibid.] NOTE: One of the obelisks in our picture is
the intricately carved obelisk of Heliopolis!

"ISRAEL IS a luxuriant vine that puts forth its [material] fruit.
According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars
[to idols]; according to the goodness and prosperity of their land
they have made goodly pillars or obelisks [to false gods]." [Hosea
10:1; Ibid.]

In this last verse, we see that, when God allowed Israel to become
financially wealthy and its citizens to become well off, Israel
stampeded even further in the direction of pagan worship. It seems
that riches and a high standard of living are a spiritual snare, for
the citizens feel less need for God and are drawn away by their own
physical lusts to the pagan religions that cater to those lusts.
Obviously, a direct parallel could be drawn to America for we are
nearly as pagan as Israel was during the time of God's judgments in
the Old Testament, and we have obelisks strewn throughout this land!

[NOTE: We have devoted an entire seminar to this subject, Seminar 1,
"America's Leadership of the New World Order". You will see for
yourself the many parallels between Ancient Israel at the time of her
physical judgment and America today]

Christianity began to be corrupted through this same type of paganism
during the reign of Constantine. This king began the practice of
combining Christian doctrine, art, and objects with those of paganism.
This process is called "Syncretization". While Constantine began the
practice, the Roman Catholic Church perfected it! As you can see in
this picture, an obelisk is standing in the middle of St. Peter's
Basilica! Catholic popes have falsely believed that they could
"Christianize" a Satanic symbol of worship by praying over it and/or
anointing it with "holy oil", thus making the object suitable for
Christian use.

Look closely at this obelisk and you will note that it is standing in
the middle of an eight-fold path of Satanic Enlightenment [Read
NEWS1134 for full details]! In Satanism, the obelisk is the symbol of
the Male phallus, while the circle represents the Female vulva.
Remember, paganism is defined as worshipping the creature rather than
the Creator [Romans 1:25], and the easiest creation to worship is sex.
Whenever Satanists wanted to represent the Great Sex Act, they merely
placed the phallus of the obelisk into the vulva of the circle. It was
slick and it was easy.

One of the greatest ironies of all time is that the Roman Catholic
Church has had this permanent symbol of the Satanic Great Sex Act
sitting in their St. Peter's Basilica since the 7th Century, where the
Pope faces it daily -- even though the Vatican is the world's greatest
proponent of celibacy!

For the past 1,400 years, the Roman Catholic Church has led Western
Civilization down the horrid road of Syncretization, where matters
Satanic were mixed with matters Christian. The result is a putrid mess
that Jesus Christ will always reject! Too many people will awaken to
find themselves at the White Throne Judgment, realizing too late that
Jesus did not approve one iota of this mingling of paganism and true
Christianity.

It is to this subject we now turn; if we understand the pagan
foundations of many of our holidays, then we shall find it easier to
refuse to participate in the holidays that have their origins in the
world of the Satanic. You will also discover why certain events have
occurred as they have, so you can further your quest to fulfill Jesus'
proclamation that we are to be "wise as serpents and harmless as
doves" [Matthew 10:16]

OCCULT HOLIDAYS AND SABBATS

As we have repeatedly stated, the Satanist believes that numbers
contain inherent power. Thus, they literally order their lives by
occult numerology -- such numerology also is a key component in
astrology, another system of divining that Satanists observe very
closely. The occult calendar is divided into four (4) segments of 13
weeks each. The number, "13" is considered divine by the occultist for
a couple of reasons:

1. The Bible assigns '13' the meaning of "rebellion against
constituted authority", plus the depravity that caused Satan to rebel
against God.

2. The occultist assigns '6' to represent the number of man, and the
number '7' to represent the number of divine perfection. Thus, as a
person climbs that "Jacob's Ladder" toward self-perfection in the
realm of the occult, the number '13' represents the state of divine
perfection, self-achieved perfection, and Illumination (6+7 = 13).

Thus, the occult calendar is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks
each. We list these periods for you, below. Then, after listing them,
we shall come back to talk about each of them in detail.

1. Winter Solstice -- 13 weeks -- Minor sabbath

a. December 21 -- Yule

b. December 21-22 -- Winter Solstice/Yule. One of the Illuminati's
