Getting Gaelic with Ol' Samhain on Halloween Eve with Chloe Fury
Manage episode 345675869 series 3356936
Happy Helloween Sinners! We missed y'all so much that we wanted to put out an episode specifically dedicated to the christian* holiday of Halloween; A celebration that was stolen from Pagan customs to try to align the secular celebrations with new religious observations, thus eradicating indigenous practices, and supplanting them with new nonsense. Ain't it just like Christianity to come in, take over a perfectly fine pagan holiday, transform it into some bullshit unrecognizable from the origins, then claim that it's evil, and ostracize it?
Welp, This is our Halloween now, and we're taking it back from the Christians. Y'all can keep trunk or treating, and fall festivals. We get the Jack-o-Lanterns, Candy, Socialism, & Positive Death Advocacy!
Oh, and hand over the Blowmolds.
THIS IS A HALLOWEEN TAKEOVER!
TRICK OR TREAT MOTHER FUCKERS!
MAKE NOT-HANDING-OUT-CANDY A VANDALIZABLE OFFENSE AGAIN!
and here's that link I mentioned if you'd like to know more about the actual historical side of the pagan traditions that lead to what we now know as Halloween.
