Episode description
Episode Synopsis:
Is Halloween an innocent day to meet your neighbors and eat candy, or have we been spellbound into participating in occult rituals?
We talk about this and much more, including:
- Is Halloween one of the eight Wiccan high-holy days, or sabbaths?
- Has interest in paganism and the occult increased in recent times?
- As Christians, are we free to celebrate any “holy” day we choose, or is there spiritual costs for participating in pagan customs and traditions?
- Do our modern Halloween traditions (trick-or-treat, bobbing for apples, bonfires, jack-o-lanterns, mask/costumes) come from innocent practices, or are they rooted in the dark the Druid festival known as Samhain?
- What are some of the most popular costumes people wear on Halloween? (Hint: It's not Jesus that people are dressing up as).
- Is Halloween intentionally pitched to us as children so as to create positively reinforcing memories that would make it more difficult to stop celebrating Halloween as adults?
