"Evil" is the act of physically violating the Consent of an innocent Being.

The degree of how "evil" that act is rests upon the effect it has on the victim.

People who vilify and criminalize others for how they dress and celebrate life

need sympathy (at a safe distance) for their afflictions.

Halloween has pagan origins! I believe that people back in ancient times payed attention and watched the cycles of nature! The time that we call "Halloween" today was the time or cycle of nature telling ancient people to harvest their crops from the fields and store their crops for food for the year!

Ancient people saw that at this time of the year the days started getting shorter with less sunlight and they learned that the time for growing crops for the year was over and darkness was setting in with shorter days! Ancient people worshipped mother earth and nature spirits in ancient times or its better known as Goddess worship! Ancient people had to depend on nature or mother nature for food production and for survival!

What we call paganism or pagan worship today is actually just paying attention to and watching the life cycles of nature! People had to survive! Ancient people realized the power of nature and had different names for it! Native Americans called it "The Great Spirit" because it controlled everything! Ancient people started worshipping the sun because the sun gives life and makes crops grow! They realized that if the sun disappeared then crops wouldn't grow, they would be in darkness and would starve with no crops!

Europe and Asia is basically where paganism started with the Celts, druids and ancient Europeans and Asians because America wasn't created yet and still unknown! Indigenous Native Americans had Shamans and medicine people who worked with herbal remedies and nature spirits! Which some still do today and it's called ayahuasca or "plant medicines" for healing ailments and healing spiritual ailments, which I don't recommend doing! Stay away from that plant medicine! Ancient people all over the planet looked to nature and the sun for survival, producing crops and natural herbs for herbal remedies!

Somewhere back in history looking to nature for healing, looking to the sun for its life giving properties and power with people asking to be blessed by nature and the nature spirits to bless them became heresy and considered bad to do! The rise of Christianity? Because many ancient people lived in small villages and had women who would tend to growing herbs, looking after herb gardens and create herbal remedies for all kinds of ailments, men did some of this too! These were the medicine people and women especially were known as "wise women" or "mid wives" and they took care of people in the village, dealt with all kinds of ailments from boils to child birth and would also give spiritual advice and wisdom to the people! Somewhere all of these practices became "demonized" and the Goddess worship and looking to mother earth for nurture and life became a bad thing with the these women and "mid wives, especially, getting demonized and called "mistresses of the devil" and witches practicing witchcraft which is the devils arts! This is when Christianity took over and the Emperor Constantine decided that Christianity was going to be the world's religion forcing Goddess worship, people depending on nature and mother nature for sustenance all went underground and was completely "demonized!"

All of this was done to gain control over the people, and it worked, it's still in place today through the Vatican! We went through "the burning times" the Salem witch trials all to scare people into submission! Because in ancient times people were self sufficient and independent depending on nature and living and working alongside the cycles of nature!

Halloween came from the ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" which marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter! The ancient Celts believed that the veil between the living and the dead becomes blurred at this time of year and so the tradition of lightning bonfires, wearing masks and costumes was to fool and ward off the evil spirits and the people left the spirits offerings of food and drink in hopes that nature and the nature spirits would continue bless the people with good fortune for the dark colder winter season! The ancient name of Halloween was called "All Hallows' Eve" before it was known as Halloween!

I don't think that Halloween was ever meant to be evil! People have misunderstood and misinterpreted the true meaning of Halloween and I blame the churches for that! Many innocent people over the centuries have died because of this misunderstanding that's been pushed by the churches! So to me, I think that the churches are more evil for their practices over people's lives and trying to control people like this!

I don't do religion or follow any religion! But I do believe in the teachings of Jesus and His message! I actually believe that all religions or religion, Inc. has been hijacked, all of them by evil for control purposes! I believe that this is why new age came back and is mainstream today! I've been down this road myself, I was into Wicca and witchcraft back in the 1990s! I've read many books on Wicca and witchcraft and the history of it! These ancient nature practices that ancient people practiced for growing crops and for survival has been hijacked by the evils controlling this planet and the teachings and information has been occulted(which means hidden) from humanity for control purposes! Because ancient people were self sufficient and independent! The evils have occulted this knowledge and twisted it up and they are using it for evil control purposes! They have kept the knowledge and workings of the natural world and universe from humanity! That library that was burned down in Alexandria, Egypt was no accident! I just wonder how many of those ancient texts with all of this knowledge is hidden away in the Vatican's library away from the public! I would say all of it! That Vatican library probably has the original Bible written by the original authors too, every single book of the Bible! But humanity is told that the original Bible doesn't exist, only copies, yeah right! 😆
