Well that video is full of too many bits of nonsense to properly address. Pity they didn't do some research before they made the video.

But let me help by pointing out a few problems with the information provided.

1) The Druids did not believe in demons (as such), and did not believe they were visited by demons on Samhain.

2) The druids dressed up as demons and sacrificed humans at Samhain? Horseshit.

3) Then they gave the gods treats? WTF?


Ok, I am not going to watch the video again just to point out the stupidity of it. But the fact that they used Heath Ledger's Joker as an image for satan worshippers shows the idiocy of the people who put this together.

Samhain is a pagan holiday celebrating the end of the year. The crops are in, the livestock is slaughtered and preparations for winter are in full swing. There was a belief that the veil between this world and the next was thinnest during this time. Mainly because this is when all the people who died during the year moved on to the next world. There were bonfires to celebrate and to help the spirits of the dead move on. There were also harvest treats left out for the spirits (and the poor).

I always have to laugh when I see claims that pagan rituals are somehow satanic. The druids and other pagans, who celebrated Samhain, did not believe in any purely evil spirit. They have no satan in their beliefs.

This video is absolute sensationlistic nonsense from some puritanical control freak wanting to make sure no one ever has fun or enjoys life.

Halloween is commercial and American. Two good reasons to ban it.

Halloween is not a national holladay.Do what you want with it,but dont critisize others for it.

That video is one of the stupidest I ever watched. Everything they say about Druids isn't true.

[Disillusioned]

First, who cares if it is.

Second, wow we have some pagan stereotypes floating around, most of it is bad hollywood and christian anti-pagan propaganda.

Third: Really? Really Legion?

Adorable! Blue's clues?

Too funny

She is supposed to be a wabbit.

But Blues Clues is a better description.

I'm dialing her mother right now to tell her what you said. :0)

NO. I liked your description better than the wabbit ... and so does her mother. We just had a good laugh about that.
