Shalom, family! This year marked a significant milestone for some of you, as you chose not to celebrate Halloween for the first time, and you made it through with relative ease. Some of you however, faced more of a challenge, feeling tempted by the allure of Thanksgiving & Friendsgiving gatherings, often baited by loved ones. Nevertheless, you stayed strong. Now, as we move forward, the most formidable test of the “Season of The Witch” is approaching – Christmas, also known as Saturnalia or Yuletide.
Christmas is a time of immense temptation, with its enchanting music, movies, food, lights, and customs. These traditions and rituals will be ubiquitous from now until the holiday season concludes. So, it’s essential to heighten your awareness and defense, as we’re all aware that Christmas possesses a far greater allure than Thanksgiving. Again, the allure of Christmas, with its sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings which come from Christmas music, movies, decorations, foods & treats, programs, gifts, etc… make Christmas a powerful trap that captivates the world into pagan practices. It’s no wonder that many struggle during their first year separating from pagan Christmas traditions. We should all understand that the “Christmas spirit” has an exponentially stronger pull than Thanksgiving, and we must understand for certain that spiritual attacks intensify as the “Season of the Witch” reaches its climax.
In light of this, let us pray for and encourage one another to remain steadfast on our path. As followers of The Way, living according to The Most High YAH’s way, we must recognize that this journey is not for the weak—thankfully family, we are not weak.
“You are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 4:4 TS2009
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not fight according to the flesh. For the weapons we fight with are not fleshly but mighty in Elohim for overthrowing strongholds, overthrowing reasonings and every high matter that exalts itself against the knowledge of Elohim, taking captive every thought to make it obedient to The Messiah, and being ready to punish all disobedience, when your obedience is complete.”
Qorintiyim Bĕt (2 Corinthians) 10:3-6 TS2009
So… Let the heathen heathe… let the pagans do their pagan things, let the spirits of darkness do what they do, while we keep it moving—it is all beneath us because of the might & power of Almighty YAH our Elohim—HalleluYAH! The world will continue to celebrate the Season of the Witch, and we will continue to seek The Kingdom of YAH! Their season will come and go, but YAH’s Kingdom will come and reign forever—HalleluYAH!
Also, give this modern classic video a watch for some right-on-time encouragement!:
For those who may be unaware or still uncertain about the underlying themes and trappings of the Season of the Witch, I highly recommend watching this informative series. I encourage you to set aside some time, away from social media and television, and watch the entire series from start to finish. The investment of your time and attention will be well worth it.
And don’t just take our word for it as Israelites when we say “Christmas ain’t our culture and it’s better left to pagans.” Instead, listen to a self-identified pagan who is working to reclaim her cultural heritage and festivals with a smile and full seriousness:
We are coming out of the daze of these pagan helladays/helladaze, and to that, all I can say is—HalleluYAH! I’ll also post this holiday playlist (one more time), which shines light on the major so-called holidays:
Family, I urge you to remain encouraged and committed to resisting the temptations and traps of this year’s Season of the Witch. Remember, you are not alone, even when it feels that way. I especially empathize with those of you who may be the only ones in your social circle or family who are choosing not to celebrate these pagan holidays, while keeping YAH’s holy and set-apart days.
Let me reassure you again: You are NOT alone! Many of us are navigating similar challenges: isolation, ridicule, pressure, and questioning. As scattered remnants amongst the nations and within our families, we face numerous difficulties. However, we must never forget that WE are in this journey together! More importantly, we stand on YAH’s side, and He sees, cares for, and supports us. Let us draw strength and inspiration from the following passages:
“Let the words of my (our) mouth and the meditation of my (our) heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה (YAH), my (our) rock and my redeemer.”
Tehillim (Psalms) 19:14 TS2009
“Cast your burden on יהוה (YAH), And let Him sustain you; He NEVER allows the righteous to be shaken.”
Tehillim (Psalms) 55:22 TS2009
“For the rest, my brothers (and y’all too sistas), BE STRONG in the Master and in the mightiness of His strength. Put on the complete armor of Elohim, for you to have power to stand against the schemes of the devil. Because we do NOT wrestle against flesh and blood, BUT against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the DARKNESS of this age, against SPIRITUAL matters of wickedness in the heavenlies. Because of this, take up the complete armor of Elohim, so that you have POWER TO WITHSTAND in the WICKED day, and having done all, to stand. STAND, then, having girded your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace (shalom); above all, having taken up the shield of belief (faith/emunah in YAH) with which you shall have power to quench all the burning arrows of the wicked one. Take also the helmet of deliverance, and the sword of The Spirit (of YAH), which is the Word of Elohim, praying at ALL times, with ALL prayer and supplication in THE SPIRIT (of YAH), watching in ALL perseverance and supplication for all the set-apart (holy) ones; also for me, that a word might be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to be bold in making known the secret of the Good News, for which I am an envoy in chains, that in it I might speak boldly, as I should speak. Peace (Shalom) to the brothers (and sistas), and love, with belief, from Elohim the Father and the Master יהושע (Yahoshua) Messiah. Favor be with all those who love our Master יהושע Messiah, undecayingly! Amĕn.”
Eph`siyim (Ephesians) 6:10-20, 23-24 TS2009
And don’t forget, we do have Biblical holidays during this time which we can celebrate:
Until next time, shalom ✌🏾
