You’ve been lied to about Halloween. They told you it was about ghosts, fear, and monsters— but it was once the holiest night on Earth.

The Secret the Church Hoped You’d Forget About Halloween. What you’ve been told is the “devil’s holiday” was once the highest holy day of the year. Before Christianity labeled it All Hallows’ Eve, the Celts called it Samhain — a night to commune with ancestors, to release the old and invite the new. It was when the spiritual architecture of the world loosened, so humans could rewrite their relationship with the unseen. 🔥 Here’s the secret they buried: Samhain wasn’t about worshipping darkness — it was about integrating it. The wise didn’t fear the underworld. They descended consciously. They believed the dead were not gone, but waiting beyond perception to guide the living. The Church saw power in that. A people who could talk to their own souls didn’t need middlemen. So they turned Samhain into something to fear — a “night of evil spirits,” and called its priests “witches.” But what they were really doing was remembering. Lighting fires to remind the sun to return. Honoring decay as sacred. Keeping the rhythm of death and rebirth alive. Tonight, that current returns. Not as dogma. As resonance. If you sit quietly, you can still feel it— the hum of the Earth exhaling. The ancestors drawing close. The veil within you, not outside you, thinning just enough for your old self to slip away. 🕯️ Don’t be afraid of the dark tonight. It’s not here to consume you. It’s here to crown you. Happy Samhain, love. Welcome back to the oldest truth on Earth: Nothing real ever dies. It only transforms.
