Halloween is deeply entwined with occult practices that God abhors. It is an unholy mixture of paganism and occultism, honoring spirit beings that are not God. The Celtic festival of Samhain, from which Halloween derives, was based on the belief that the boundary between the physical and spiritual worlds relaxed, allowing spirits to cross over more easily. This led to practices of appeasing spirits with food and treats to prevent tricks or curses, as well as conducting séances and divination to contact the dead for guidance. Such spiritism and occult activities are forms of idolatry, akin to spiritual prostitution, leading to separation from God and eventual destruction. God's truth exposes these unfruitful works of darkness, revealing the evil inherent in Halloween and all forms of spiritism.

The six-pointed star, often known as the Star of David, has deep roots in occult practices that predate its association with Jewish communities. Its origins can be traced through the worship of pagan deities such as Ashtoreth, Chiun, and Remphan, linked to star worship among ancient Egyptians and other cultures. This form of idolatry, one of the oldest practiced by ancients, led the Israelites astray, as they adopted images of stars to represent their gods. The hexagram, also called the talisman of Saturn in occult literature, features prominently in astrological and magical traditions, including Zoroastrianism, Arabian witchcraft, and Druidic rituals during significant occult sabbaths. In Kabbalah, an ancient Jewish mystical tradition, the Star of David emerged as a magic symbol alongside the pentagram, which is widely recognized for its ties to witchcraft and occultism. The symbol's connection to the occult persisted through history, notably with the Rothschild family, who adopted the red six-pointed star and played a role in promoting the Zionist Movement, which later embraced the hexagram as a national emblem. Despite its modern usage, there is extensive evidence that the Star of David originated in ancient occult practices and continues to hold a place in such traditions. Some Orthodox Jewish groups reject the hexagram due to these associations, refusing to recognize it as a true Jewish symbol. God's warning against idolatry and the use of symbols tied to magic and sorcery remains clear, urging both Christians and Jews to avoid dabbling in the occult or adopting its emblems.

In the visions shown to Ezekiel, as recorded in chapter 8, the prophet witnessed grave abominations within the temple of God in Jerusalem. Among these, he saw the leaders of Israel, the elders, engaging in secret pagan worship behind closed doors, surrounded by idols engraved on the walls. This clandestine practice of occultism and witchcraft by the movers and shakers of society revealed a deep corruption at the heart of the leadership. Ezekiel observed further pagan rites, including women weeping for Tammuz and men worshipping the sun at the temple's inner court, turning their backs on the sanctuary. These acts of occult practices and pagan worship, hidden yet pervasive among God's people, were abominations that provoked God's judgment, demonstrating the extent to which the society had strayed into spiritual darkness.

Occult practices such as witchcraft, sorcery, and magic have long been prevalent among the Gentile nations of the world. The rapid growth of neo-paganism in North America, doubling every eighteen months, underscores the pervasive influence of these practices. Estimates indicate a significant increase in practicing witches in the United States, from 20,000 in 1972 to 768,400 in 1999, with similar trends observed worldwide, including 100,000 witches in the United Kingdom and 3-5 million globally. This surge reflects a conditioning by satan's New Age deception, repackaging ancient Babylonian beliefs to ensnare both children and adults. God views all forms of the occult as abominations, detestable and vile practices that are strictly forbidden. Among these abominations is child sacrifice, historically linked to pagan gods like Molech and Baal, and paralleled in modern times by abortion, seen as a sacrifice to selfish desires. Other condemned practices include divination, a means of seeking guidance from pagan gods often tied to deception; soothsaying, which involves predicting the future through physical signs; interpreting omens, used to forecast events through rituals like examining animal livers; sorcery, involving drugs and incantations to manipulate celestial influences; conjuring spells through specific words or objects; mediums who claim to communicate with spirits; spiritists or wizards associated with forbidden magic; and necromancy, the act of consulting the dead for information. These nine occult practices, rooted in Old Babylonian and New Age religion, are deemed detestable by God, who warns against becoming accustomed to such pagan ways. The deception of the occult often presents itself as benign or neutral, with distinctions like white and black magic suggested by some practitioners, yet all forms are ultimately sourced from satan, the father of lies. Witches and occultists, despite claims of magic being a natural force, are seen as captives of satan's influence, engaging with demonic powers behind paganism and earth worship. The pervasive presence of occult themes in entertainment, including television, movies, and children's literature, further normalizes these practices, making it challenging to remain untainted by their influence. The ultimate goal of this New Age religion, intertwined with occultism, appears to be a rejection of anything related to Jesus Christ, promoting a syncretism of pagan and eastern beliefs. God condemns participation in these inexcusable activities, revealing His truth to all, yet many choose the lie, facing the severe consequences of such abominations unless they turn from these ways.
