Ex Satanist David Arias warns: 

"This is a special day for darkness, and it shouldn't be treated as a game, like I did. It is a demonic celebration used as a tool to gain souls for hell....

People make their homes look like haunted cemeteries.... This invites evil spirits inside. It's really simple: If you want to attract evil, you put up depictions of evil. If you want to attract good, you put up depictions of good.

Arias urges that Christians, instead of celebrating the satanic pagan high day of Halloween, "read the Bible; teach your children about the Church; donate something to the poor."

19 reasons not to do Halloween, a Satanic 'holy' day

By Dr. Eowyn

(abridged by henrymakow.com) 

I find Halloween repugnant.

End of the American Dream blogger Michael Snyder writes that he no longer celebrates Halloween because --

"it is a wretched, horrible holiday that celebrates the darkest side of humanity, and it is deeply rooted in ancient pagan traditions that would get people thrown in prison if they attempted to duplicate them today. With each passing year, the sexually suggestive costumes being marketed to our young girls become even skankier, the horror movies become darker and even more demonic, and the number of Americans that participate in occult ceremonies just continues to grow. In fact, it has been estimated that the number of self-identified witches in the United States is doubling every 30 months. Those that are deeply into the occult take this holiday very seriously, and the dark forces that they are dealing with are very real. So no, I don't want anything to do with this festival of death."

Below are Snyder's 18 reasons why he doesn't celebrate Halloween, followed by reason #19, an account by a former Satanist:

1. Halloween celebrates death, witchcraft and the occult, all of which can open up a door for demonic activity.

2. In 2015, the average American spent $74.34 on Halloween, money that many don't have to waste.

3. Millions of women use Halloween as an excuse to dress like streetwalkers, and millions of men use Halloween as an excuse to act like sexual predators.

4. Little girls as young as three years old are being dressed up in sexually provocative costumes, grooming them for what?

5. Dressing up little children as ghosts, demons and vampires is not innocent fun. In recent years, there has been a trend to make costumes for children as hellish as possible.

6. Did you know that the original purpose to dress up in costumes on October 31 was "to change the personality of the wearer to allow for communication with the spirit world"? For 11 years in a row, dressing up as a witch has been the number one costume choice for adults in the United States.

Note: No wonder the number of self-identified witches has skyrocketed in recent years, from 8,000 in 1990 to 340,000 in 2008, a year that also found roughly 340,000 self-described Pagans. Currently, nearly one million Americans identify themselves as Wiccans or Pagans. (See "Thousands of witches to put a hex on Justice Kavanaugh, Oct. 20")

7. In ancient Britain, the festival known as Samhain was celebrated on October 31 -- a day when dead souls are believed to revisit their old homes. Personally, I don't want anything to do with contacting the souls of the dead.

8. According to the History Channel, Samhain was also the day when the Druids "gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities," which should be anathema to Christians.

9. Samhain/Halloween is a high day for wiccans. Did you know that Wicca is the fastest growing religion in America? According to the American Religious Identification Survey, the number of self-identified Wiccans in the United States grew from 8,000 in 1990 to 134,000 in 2001 to 342,000 in 2008. According to The New York Post, some experts have estimated that the number of witches in the U.S. is doubling every 30 months, and that there may now be "8 million undeclared practitioners" of "the craft" in this country. At this rate, Wicca will soon become the third largest "religion" in America after Christianity and Islam.

10. Wiccans believe Halloween is the time when the veil between the living and the dead is the thinnest, and that on this day their god "dies" and is reborn every year on the Winter Solstice, which will be December 22 this year.

11. For the ancient Druids, the purpose of Samhain or Halloween was to ensure the return of the sun god, with human and animal sacrifices. According to occult expert Bill Schnoebelen:
