Hollywood's Halloween vs. Irish Samhain

University of Edinburgh, Oct. 31, 2016

Samhain (SOW-in) or Sauin is a Gaelic festival in Ireland that falls on the Mexican Day of the Dead, Nov. 1st, marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year [1].

It is also the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name for November. Celebrations begin on Halloween, the evening of October 31st, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset [1].

This is about halfway between the autumnal equinox and winter solstice. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals along with Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasa.

Historically it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. Its Brittonic Celtic equivalent is Calan Gaeaf in Wales. More

There were more giants back then (B. Foerster).

At such a festive time in Asia with Kathina (end of the Rains Retreat celebration, Buddhism's Carnivale/Easter) and Diwali (Festival of Lights), the Occident settles in for the foggy time of mystery, the cooling months of irritated monsters (who seem to dwell in the massive cave U.S. systems that correspond to many unsolved missing persons cases) and hungry ghouls (yakkhas, rakshasas, ogres, some Sasquatches, jinn, giants, nagas, petas, shapeshifters), the strengthening and fattening time before the frost kills off the weak.

A Christian awakens: Love Covered Life

They never even have bothered to learn my real name, yet they claim they love me.

"Hear me out: Christianity [as practiced by most people in the USA and Europe, particularly in Rome] is just another Satanic cult." This is not a joke. Here's why. By the end of the video, what the correct path of Christianity, the steps Jesus (Yeshua, Issa, Kristos, the Annointed One, Christ) actually followed and advocated are covered. Hearing is believing, even though facing up to having been deceived for so long and to be so wrong will likely be impossible for most "Christians." For as it is said, a comforting lie is far more attractive than any bitter truth.

Ghost Month continues: Shadow Realm

Get outta my way! Hungry ghosts are after me!

"Ghost Month" (the Seventh Month of the Chinese Lunisolar Calendar, corresponding to Sept. 6 to Oct. 6, 2025) is the time of the Ghost Festival (Yulanpen). It is observed among the Chinese diaspora population of the world, particularly in Chinatowns, Malaysia, Singapore, and anywhere Mahayana Buddhism dominates. Hungry ghosts or petas (Sanskrit pretas) are miserable being who have been reborn deprived due to unskillful karma (deeds).

• Wisdom Quarterly coverage: Hungry Ghost Festival

Guanyin feeding (Stephen Asma)

If hungry ghosts, demons, and malignant spirits are living beings, and Buddhists cherish all sentient beings, how do we exorcise them when they create obstacles in our lives? Why did Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) convert angry subhuman beings into "protectors of the Dharma" (Dharmapalas)? Why did the great Tibetan sage Milarepa have long conversations with ghosts and demons? How do can humans protect against curses and black magic? What are Buddhism’s Protective Verses (Parittas), and how do we chant them? These questions are answered in this “Buddhist Guide to Exorcism: A Spirit Handler’s Guide” and demonstrate some of the methods. More: Buddha Weekly

The Hungry Ghost Realm: A Buddhist Teaching of Hope in Addiction

Maha Moggallāna (Ven. Mulian)

(Mythos & Logos) Complete Archives: Mythos & Logos. The Realm of Hungry Ghosts (peta-loka) is a plane of existence in Buddhist cosmology, an unfortunate destination, an afterlife marked by deprivation, suffering, and dependency.

The journey of one of the Buddha's chief disciples, Maha Moggallāna (Sanskrit Maudgalyayana, Chinese Mulian), to this realm provides a first step for how to break the vicious cycle of addiction borne of trauma.

Many of us have a "hungry ghost" (peta, preta) lurking inside of us. If anyone is struggling, please reach out to a professional as there are many great organizations, including ‪@TWLOHA‬, filled with people trained and willing to help.*

Literal underworld crime, Los Angeles

Underground crime ring: Stolen cars in secret tunnels in LA County | FOX 11 LA

(FOX 11 Los Angeles) Whittier Narrows, Los Angeles County, near Montebello - Sept. 4, 2025: FOX 11's Matthew Seedorff received a tip suggesting that criminals are storing stolen cars inside remote runnels in Los Angeles County. Where do stolen cars disappear to with LoJack and all of the new built-in GPS tracking devices? So this is where stolen cars go before they hit the "chop shops" and are sold for parts or shipped out of the country at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro to be sold on the world market by crime syndicates. Meanwhile, the LAPD and LASD and CHP all have their fingers up their nose not knowing anything and being too afraid to enter the tunnels to chase after the car thieves and criminals.

The Ethiopian Bible has not 66, not 73, but 81+ books, retaining much info

And what does any of this have to do with E.T. contact in the deep past and today? The Eden Enigma takes readers on a mind-altering journey in Türkiye and Armenia, back to the silent spring which followed the most recent ice age, back to a lost civilization to unearth vital information concerning the emergence of humanity. More

Soviets arrive to conquer Afghans. Fail.

Steve Quayle and L.A. Marzulli revealed the existence of the "Giant of Kandahar" living in the caves of Afghanistan, hunted down by American invaders occupying, oppressing, and trying to conquer the region. One of the giants killed a soldier and a team was sent in to murder the Nephilim and recover its body (for transhumanism purposes and the creation of biological "super soldiers," according to Quayle).
