There is a lot of pressure from the media and from schools for children to participate in Halloween, dress up with symbols related to death and go out asking for candy saying trick-or-treat.

What’s more, many Catholic schools and even priests see nothing wrong with it.

And many Christian parents mistakenly say, What’s wrong with that? It’s just a game, kids are having fun.

But exorcist Father Javier Luzón says what is considered a simple game has a lethal effect in the long term.

Because it opens doors to demons.

And if they are not closed properly, they can cause serious consequences for children and adults.

Here we will talk about the great hidden danger of participating in the current Halloween celebrations.

And how to handle the situation in cases where a person has already participated in them, so that he closes the doors he opened.

Halloween is a holiday based on a pagan and animist mentality, fear of the dead.

It comes from the Celts, who believed that at that time of year, the barrier between the world of the living and the dead was thinner.

And that the spirits returned to take revenge or settle scores with the living. 

And to defend themselves from these attacks, the living disguised themselves as terrifying beings to blend in with the dead and avoid being attacked.

That is why people dress up for Halloween these days, even though most people don’t know the origin of this tradition.

October 31st is a very important sacred day in ancient Celtic paganism.

And it is celebrated by Wiccans, witches and Satanists to connect with the dead, and ask for their intercession through spiritualism and other occult means.

It is the most important of the eight sabbats celebrated by witches.

The current Halloween holiday was actually marginal, until the Church Christianized it.

And he replaced the fear of the dead, of the terrifying, with respect and love.

And he gave it the name Halloween, which is an abbreviation of the English words, All Saints’ Eve, alluding to the fact that the following day is the feast of All Saints’ Day. 

So at one time Halloween was a Catholic holiday, with Catholic symbols, and children dressed up as angels and saints.

And from there it became important.

To the point that in the United States it is the holiday that generates the most income after Christmas.

It is also promoted by the New Age.

As is known, it emerged at the end of the 19th century, from a Theosophical Society that wanted to promote an alternative that would replace Christian values. [scroll for more:]

But Halloween is also a Satanist holiday, on that night the most serious Satanic rituals and the greatest sacrifices are celebrated; there are many testimonies of this. 

Anton LaVey, who wrote the Satanic Bible and founded the Church of Satan, considered it the greatest holiday on his calendar.

The Church of Satan promotes it this way: “Halloween is traditionally a time when the dark portal to the realms of darkness, death, and the supernatural is flung open.

Demons and spirits have free rein for one night, frolicking, inciting us to their revelry and revealing glimpses of the future.

It gives even the most worldly people a chance to taste evil for a night .”

Terrible, isn’t it?

Some will say that if one does not get into dark things and takes Halloween as a fun thing, it is harmless.

And that’s the big mistake.

Although most people are not aware of it, the simple act of participating in Halloween can open a door to evil.

And demons will take this opportunity to intervene in the lives of those people, even if they are not aware of what they did.

People who participate in Halloween are spiritually marked.

Even if it is not done consciously, they are opening a door to evil.

Nothing may happen immediately, but that door that was opened can have consequences years later, says exorcist Father Javier Luzón.

Dressing up as demons, dead people or monsters is, in a way, taking their side.

Pumpkins, for example, come from an ancient legend of Jack, a wandering soul who tricked demons but could not go to either heaven or hell, and wanders around with a lit pumpkin. 

The use of these pumpkins on Halloween is a spiritualist act, a way of invoking the dead.

And trick-or-treating also has a dark origin.

The Celts went from house to house asking for food.

If people agreed, they were left alone, but if they did not, they were cursed, and said that someone in the family would die that year. 

Participating in trick-or-treating, without understanding its origin, is participating in an ancient pagan cursing tradition.

When a person has opened a door to evil, whether consciously or unconsciously, he must close it with prayer.

Because, for example, if later someone casts a curse on you, it will be more effective because that door is already open.

Father Luzón says that there have been cases of people who, many years after participating in these practices, were victims of spells carried out by third parties.

And the damage they suffered was possible because they already had an open door.

Esotericism works objectively, it does not matter whether people believe in its power or not.

For example, when a person does a Ouija session, even if he does not know that he is invoking spirits, he has already opened a door.

In the same way, getting children to participate in Halloween, even without knowledge of its meaning, can open that same door in their lives.

If a sin was committed by knowingly participating, it is essential to confess to ask God for forgiveness. 

And even if they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong, they have still opened a door to evil.

And it must be closed with prayer, renouncing those esoteric acts, even if they were implicit.

More specifically.

Adults and children who have been drawn into participating in Halloween are marked in some way, without knowing it. 

And even if they are not guilty, the demons take advantage of the opportunity.

The only way to protect yourself is to follow God’s commandments.

Father Luzón tells the story of a person who went to a witch doctor to order a death spell.

Before proceeding, the witch made his inquiries and came back saying: “Look, madam, I am not going to do this job for you. It is not a question of money, but that this person is protected. If I do the job, you and I could die.”

This shows that a person who lives in God’s Grace, and who closes the doors to evil, is protected.

Because demons cannot act on someone who does not have open doors.

It is important to be in God’s Grace and frequent the sacraments.

Pray for yourself and for others.

Ask for the protection of the saints, especially Saint Michael the Archangel, who is the protector par excellence against the forces of evil. 

Pray the Holy Rosary, because the Virgin Mary has a special role in this battle.

And explicitly renounce any act of esotericism, even if it was done out of ignorance.

So, what should we do in the case of Halloween?

Do not participate or allow your children to participate in these celebrations, and explain why, in order to catechize.

And offer a positive alternative, celebrating the All Saints’ Day. 

And honor our deceased, especially on the Day of the Dead.

Well, that’s all we wanted to tell you about the great hidden danger of Halloween, which many people don’t see.

And I’d like to ask you what you think the Catholics you know think about Halloween.
