Several major heresies formally began on witch sabats.  Of particular interest to our discussion on the Priestly corruption of the Old Testament and its resulting inclusion of the unscientific Genesis 1 creation myth, Ezra officially read the Old Testament Law to the congregation on the witch sabat of Samhain 445 BCE.[1]  Thus, the patchwork Bible that Ezra spun together from forgeries, dirty bedtime stories, and genuine prophecies was officially sanctified as scripture on a day important to the dark arts of witchcraft.  Such is the secret seal of Satan upon the Old Testament, and upon the creationist heresy he established.  What's more, this wasn't the only time Ezra read the Law.  He also read it on the first day of the seventh month.[2]  Why did he read it twice?  Were their two Laws?  And if so, this gives further evidence for the scholarly opinion that the Priestly text was originally separate from the real Bible of the legitimate Prophets. 

     On the very same witch sabat, Samhain, October 31, 1517, nearly 2,000 years later, Martin Luther started the Protestant Reformation.  Then, on April 19, 1529, the Diet of Speyer officially made reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants impossible. 

     Luther taught that the extra-Biblical traditions of the ancient Christians should be discarded because they are not in the Bible, something which his own favorite apostle, Paul, and even the Bible itself, specifically rejects, stating, "Cling fast to whatever was told to you by letter or by word."[3]  In stating this, Paul indicated that some necessary teachings were never stated in the New Testament letters, but were only handed down by word of mouth.  Therefore, we ought to embrace the oral apostolic traditions of the ancients, which were written down in the early years of the faith by a multitude of authorities whom I have frequently quoted throughout this work.  Luther's creed of "scripture alone" is therefore a false teaching.

     The Protestant Bible consists of 66 books, one 6 less than 666, and thus it is almost antichrist.  Its Old Testament is the same as that used by the ancient Pharisees, which is not the same as that used by the early Christians.  The apostolic church used the Septuagint.  We know this because the New Testament quotes from the Septuagint – not from the Pharisee Bible.  Also, Jesus was familiar with the Dead Sea Scrolls, which represents still a third Bible.  Hence, the Protestant doctrine that only the Bible constitutes legitimate authority is not only erroneous, but also superfluous, because they don’t have the right Bible anyway. 

     Luther's ghost haunts the evolution-creation debate.  Most creationists are Protestant.  The Protestant Reformation was largely responsible for the idea that the Bible should at all times be literally interpreted – something which has prolonged creationist thinking among many Protestant groups.  Hence, Protestant Biblicism unwittingly does the devil's work by promoting literal interpretations of Genesis 1.  They accuse me of heresy because I rip Genesis 1 from the Bible, but they should examine the plank in their own eye; they venerate Luther as if he were Moses, yet Luther himself ripped apart the Bible too.  He ripped James away.  He had no scientific or scholarly reason for doing so.  He merely disliked the statement, "Faith without good deeds is dead,"[4] so he ripped it out.  Luther was not thinking rationally when he did this, but was reacting emotionally to his own guilt complex.  Thankfully, the Paraclete has led the Protestants to restore James to the Bible.

     The Roman Church, for its part, elected its current pope 13 days before Beltane, on April 19.[5]  Pope Benedict XVI has wasted no time reopening old wounds with Orthodox Christians.  Eastern Orthodoxy and Gnosticism are equally ancient with Rome.  All three can trace their teachings to apostolic sources.  Catholic means universal, and Rome is in no way universal when it excludes the opinions of churches equally ancient with itself, and so the Pope is head of the Roman Church, not the Catholic Church.  When Polycarp, the disciple of the Apostle John, came from the East to argue with the Pope, he and the Pope still took bread and wine together, despite the argument.[6]  Yet today, they exclude each other, and thus by their intolerance they break the Law, because they violate a precedent set by apostolic authorities greater than themselves.  Their schism is illegal. 

     The Mormon Church, according to its own publication, admits that the Book of Mormon was revealed to Joseph Smith on September 21, 1823,[7] which happens to be the witch sabat of Mabon.  Smith himself was an occultist, and was forced out of the Methodist church under suspicion of practicing necromancy.

     William Miller, the founder of the Adventists, predicted that Jesus Christ would return on March 21, 1844, i.e. – the witch sabat of Ostara.  Not easily deterred, his followers have been looking forward to the end of the world ever since, and have successfully perpetuated the notion of an imminent apocalypse for over 150 years. 

     Although these comments seem intolerant, I actually do not intend to condemn the various denominations.  Rather, we see through a glass darkly, and the devil deceives even the elect.[8]  I ain’t damnin’ nobody to hell.  Just sayin’ the Devil confuses even the best of us.  That’s all.

     Outside Christianity, the worship of Reason officially began on Mabon 1792, when the French Revolution outlawed the monarchy.  The Revolution produced Napoleon, who instituted his code of law in Europe on Ostara 1804.  This legal code became the primary foundation for law throughout continental Europe, and remains influential even today.

     The Baha'i Faith keeps its New Year on the witch sabat of Ostara, and keeps its "Feast of Protection" on Lughnasadh.

          To top it all off, the Mayan calendar predicts that the end of the world will happen on the witch sabat of Yule, December 21, 2012.  Merry Christmas.
