Halloween is seen in our modern age as a day lacking in any historical meaning. It has become known for scary movies, candy, costumes and mischief. But there is a deep, universal tradition behind Halloween, also known as the Festival of the Dead, All Souls Day or Feast of the Ancestors. This festival is observed around the world, in the northern and southern hemispheres at the SAME time of year. In this video, we take a dive down the rabbit hole with Randall Carlson to uncover the mysterious origin of Halloween.
Randall Carlson is a master builder and designer, a geologist, anthropologist and historian. He specializes in sacred geometry, ancient civilizations, climate and environmental change, myths, legends, cosmic cycles and catastrophes. He is a proponent of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, and has theorized about the extinction of historical advanced human civilizations.
I thought Halloween originated in Celtic traditions; that’s why it’s mainly celebrated in former British colonies.
I see no harm in eother one...
In the ruins of every civilization that observed Halloween youโll find traces of candy corn..
This probably isn’t equally noticeable all over the nation but for decades Halloween has been morphing into an adult event, in a few more progressive areas taking on a slightly darker and more intense, participation.
One thing we can bet on is that while Christmas and Easter are erased and replaced by “the holidays” and become days about Santa and the bunny rabbit, Halloween will remain Halloween.
Thanks Tom Tetroxide.

Oh I thought is was just candy/costume companies wanted to sell more product ,LOL
It goes back way further than that.

It goes back further than that.
0:41
so without further Ado let's take a dive down this primordial rabbit hole
0:50
the ancient knowledge will again abound and overflow as water upon the Earth
0:55
the remains of this knowledge are everywhere about us in everyday use and perfect
1:01
this is a quote from a book one of The Early books I ever read on the subject of Kabbalah ...
Exactly right, like a 911 in reverse:
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters [ืืื] cover the sea:
A meme not only gets around because that's its nature, a meme
plays off of the letter mem and the water because the word "meme" in Hebrew [ืื] is spelled the same as the letter, and the Hebrew side of the "Meme" wiki page also includes the pronunciation in English with a spelling in Hebrew [ืึดืื]. Same spelling as "mayim" [ืึทืึดื], water, just with different vowel points.
Yesterday I received this email from Chabad:
"Here is your Hebrew letter of the week - Mem"
It's the info from this page.
Mem (ื) is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet
Numerical value: 40
Sound: "M"
Meaning: 1. Water 2. Moshiach
***
I mentioned that for the timing aspect.
Memes move fast, too, or they wouldn't be memes. Speaking of rabbits having holes, the best ones are like Bugs Bunny saying "What's Up, Doc?"
Older versions of the wiki page "A Wild Hare" will tell ya that
when this short was screened in theaters, the scene of Bugs calmly chewing a carrot, followed by the nonchalant "What's Up, Doc?", went against any 1940s audience's expectation of how a rabbit might react to a hunter and caused complete pandemonium in the audience, bringing down the house in every theater.
Always loved Halloween. Here is a great video of Bobby Pickett singing the Monster Mash (it was a graveyard smash) on Dick Clark show:
