Episode 07 – Halloween vs the Holy Spirit

Halloween Scrooges: people who hate Halloween. Whether they want to outright ban the celebration, or co-opt and water down the holiday for their own purposes, some mainstream religions don’t want to trick OR treat. Your hosts Simone, Daniel, Tabitha, and Bridgit discuss why some people believe that Halloween is a night of evil, what they’re doing to counteract it, and the origins of some of Satanist-centric urban legends. Plus news on a fight over a cross statue on public land in Albany, California. Praise, condemnation, questions, and your favorite Halloween costume ideas can be sent to blackmassappealpod@gmail.com.
