A viewer asks: “According to Celtic mythology, the veil between the Otherworld and our world thins during Samhain (Halloween), making it easier for spirits and the souls of the dead to return. Any truth to this? And if not, where did this notion originate?”

A viewer asks: “The Irish legend of Jack-O-Lanterns is that: One night, a conniving local drunkard named Jack trapped the Prince of Darkness in a tree by hacking a sign of the cross into the bark. In exchange for letting Satan climb down, Jack had him vow to never claim his soul. Jack proceeded to act like a jerk his whole life. When he died, he was not allowed in heaven. So he tried to return to his old pal, the Devil. But Satan upheld his end of the deal, hurling a piece of coal from hell at the dead man, for good measure. Left without anywhere to go, Jack placed the blazing coal in a turnip to use as a lantern. The dead man then set out, doomed to wander until he can find an eternal resting place. Can Creator comment on this legend, how much truth there is to it, and how it really came about?”

A viewer asks: “In medieval England, “soulers” would go around begging rich folk for “soul cakes” on Halloween. Instead of threatening to play tricks, however, they’d pray for the souls of peoples’ departed loved ones in return for the cake. Again we see the act of praying for the dead, in essence performing “Spirit Rescues” made a form of tradition to ensure that at least one time during the year, the dead were “remembered” and prayers said on their behalf. Was the “soul cake” a form of payment, not unlike paying for a practitioner to do a Lightworker Healing Protocol Spirit Rescue today? Clearly the original intent for this practice has been completely and utterly lost. Can Creator comment on that?”

A viewer asks: “Trick-or-treating did not become popular in the United States until the 1920s. From its inception through the 1950s, Halloween was very controversial as many adults viewed it as a form of “extortion” with the practice. What is Creator’s view of this?”
