    Kamala Harris campaign spent a billion dollars and wound up 20 million in debt. America dodged a bullet by not electing her as our president. A great woman will be president one day sooner than everyone thinks. The overwhelming majority will vote for her too because she will allow us to come full circle on this issue. Kamala Harris just wasn’t the right candidate for this election because of her inescapable ties to Joe Biden’s presidency. Keep your heads up because this isn’t the end of anything. It’s just a new beginning and a fresh opportunity to work together and make this country indivisible.

    I wrote this as light-hearted fare to accompany my full civics and self improvement video "What's Your Voting Plan? " and I can't tell if this song is just a meme or political satire, parody, a subversive comedy, or just a plea for more civility, human rights and civic virtue in our modern era, or a little bit of all of it. Either way, it's fun or funny, or both? I hope you appreciate some of the pop culture easter eggs and the double-speak as well as the fumbling making the Electoral College and Congress' role a cogent argument. Please let me know what you think, and may we have a happy and safe election season! Don't forget to vote on Tuesday, November 5th!

    The Romans conquered the Celts around 40 AD and remained in Britain and Ireland for almost 400 years. Because of this, many people assert that these Roman holidays were assimilated with Samhain celebrations. However, this contradicts the typical Roman strategy of letting the natives/conquered people practice their own customs with as little interference as possible from Rome. Ferālia was an ancient Roman public festival celebrating the Manes (Roman spirits of the dead, particularly the souls of deceased individuals) which fell on 21 February. This day marked the end of Parentalia, a nine-day festival (13-21 February) honoring deceased ancestors. Note the dates here. To suggest that this was somehow incorporated into Gaelic Samhain doesn’t stand to reason. Not only is the date completely off, but as mentioned, there is no historical evidence that Samhain had anything to do with the dead and/or honoring ancestors. It’s a complete mismatch of dates based on a false assumption about Samhain. Pomona is attributed to the apple activities of Halloween, most notably, bobbing/ducking for apples. Most historians are doubtful however that the Romans ever had such a celebration called Pomona. There is a goddess of fruit trees called Pomona, but she does not appear to have had a day set aside for her observance. There was one for her consort, Vertumnus, celebrated in August, and some historians believe Pomona may have also been celebrated, but there is no historical proof of this. The Pomona celebration error can be traced to a misreading of a passage in Marcus Terentius Varro’s De Lingua Latina, which specifies August as the month of the Vertumnalia (celebration of Vertumnus, the god of seasons, change, plant growth, gardens and fruit trees.). It first describes certain festivals in August, and then in a separate sentence says that the Vertumnalia is observed “at that time” without further specifying a date. The sentence after that goes on to describe a festival in October, the Meditrinalia (celebrating the new vintage of wine). Thus, Vertumnalia came to be erroneously associated with early October and with it the alleged celebration of Pomona. Bobbing for apples is a fall activity not specifically connected to Halloween and comes from a British woman’s courting custom historically attested to about the 1300’s and the activity is even illustrated in the Luttrell Psalter, an illuminated manuscript written in the 14th century. To say Halloween’s connections to ancient Samhain, or anything “ancient” for that matter, are, at best, extremely tenuous, would be grossly overstating the facts. Virtually all of the customs associated with the modern secular celebration of Halloween developed only in the past 500 years and have no connections to ancient pagan religious practices. In short, Halloween just does not have the “pagan precedent” so many people seem to desperately want it to. Even the concept of ‘Trick or Treat’ is a relatively new phenomenon, originating from right here in the USA from about the 1920’s or so, and represents a mix of cultures, capitalism, and accommodation. To be completely fair, a few customs associated with Halloween do have a very old past; most notably, the carving of root vegetables and bobbing for apples. Without going into all the lengthy details, the carving of root vegetables (pumpkins in America) dates to around the 1700’s - it’s just not historically attested any earlier than that. Bobbing for apples is a fall activity not specifically connected to Halloween, and comes from a British woman’s courting custom historically attested to about the 1300’s. Neither custom is associated with, nor can they be historically attested back to, Samhain, or anything ‘pagan’ or ‘demonic’ for that matter. Further, there is zero evidence the Celts ever donned costumes of animal pelts to ward off evil spirits. Costuming for trick-or-treat comes from about 1930's America. The concept of trick-or-treat dates to about then as well. It has no ties to mumming, guising or souling. Historical similarity does not equate to historical sameness. Simply put, there is no continued ancient tradition. But misconceptions abound regarding the nature and origin of Samhain, to the point where virtually everything that people today believe about it is a complete fabrication. What is definitively known about Samhain would fit on about a page and a half of paper. What gets passed around the Internet as “history” and “fact” is mostly speculation and utter nonsense. The primary source of what is known comes from the books of the Ulster Cycle. By most historical accounts, Samhain proper was preceded by three days, and followed by three days. In some accounts it’s only a three-day celebration (not a seven day). Samhain seems to have been a time to prepare for winter, to welcome in the dark half of the year, cull the herds and celebrate the final harvest of the year. One particular activity that these old Gaelic texts seem to suggest was very popular at Samhain was…. horse racing. In addition, there were many ‘warrior-type’ athletic competitions and well….a lot of drinking. That sounds a lot like many European holidays today from October-January. The texts also speak of it as a time to pay tithings, gather taxes, and the holding of a judicial assembly (much like the Manx ‘Tynwald Day’). There is zero evidence that it was a religious observance, that the Celts ever donned costumes of animal pelts to ward off evil spirits, that it entailed any ritual, that it was a celebration of the dead, or that it opened the Celtic year. Anything else asserted to be associated with Samhain is either pure wishful thinking or absolute nonsense. To be completely fair, the Celts, like other cultures, practiced divination and the change of seasons (amongst other things) was seen as a liminal time in which the boundaries between the spirit world and the material world were seen as overlapping (this includes the change of one day to the next, the change of high tide to low, the crossroads on a path/road, etc., etc.), however, this was part of the broader Celtic religious framework and not something specific to any one specific holiday. Indeed, Samhain’s polar opposite celebration, Bealteine, was seen as just as powerful, if not a more powerful, time of year with respect to this overlapping. Let’s take a closer look at the assertion that Christian All Saints Day/All Souls Day replaced Gaelic Samhain. To state it briefly, the date of 1. November for All Saint's Day was practiced in continental Europe long before the date was formerly fixed by the Church to November 1st, and long before said change got to what is now the UK & Ireland; which was centuries after the time of Druids and Samhain proper. In addition, most people are not aware that Samhain itself is a movable feast day; the exact date varies from year to year depending on when the autumnal equinox and winter solstice fall. In short, it’s not always 31. October. In the modern Gaelic languages, Samhain is the name for the entire month of November. To assert that the establishment of All Saint’s Day (and All Souls Day on 2.NOV) was the early church’s attempt to “Christianize Samhain” just does not stand to reason. Think about this logically for a moment, why would the church change a major feast day affecting all of Western Christendom just to accommodate a small group of Christians who lived on, what would be considered at that time, some remote group of islands in the middle of nowhere, centuries after Druids and the observance of Samhain? One scholar has even suggested that November 1st may have been chosen simply so that the many pilgrims who traveled to Rome to commemorate the saints “could be fed more easily after the harvest than in the spring (when it was originally celebrated).” All three holidays, Halloween, All Saint’s Day, and Samhain share a common date and perhaps a “feeling”, but that’s really about it. Indeed, so much of Halloween “feels” Pagan that attempts to connect those things to ancient Samhain simply “feels right”.

    Are you ready for election season to be over? I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and I can tell you, we here in the swing states feel completely overwhelmed by all the ads and election news, I wish today was Tuesday, November 5, 2024 already, and who knows what that's going to bring. This is one of the most tense elections in American history. And everyone knows or should know how and why elections are important and few more so than this year with so much hanging in the balance. The economy, jobs, the environment, world-wide peace, democracy. And yeah, I know many of you feel bewildered, stressed, and divided, and in some people, this can cause issues like resentment, lack of respect, lack of civility, and lack of restraint, things that many of us have left behind in our modern society. And more people feel alone more than ever before. And some people in this country chose violence over our shared humanity. We're all one race, our DNA is 99.9% the same. We need to start seeing ourselves as family and not the enemy. And our choices as citizens in this election are crucial. Will we heed the call and stand up for Truth, Justice, and the American Way? Or will we let America founder and us with it. We have much to learn from each other and our shared individual and shared history. And I know that many of us would love a hero to fix all of the problems, some super hero or daddy or professor or scientist or news commentator or angel, or big brother, or parent, or lover who knows (or pretends) to have all the answers. Someone to protect us when times are tough. Others just want a strong, reliable advocate and ally, be it in a politician or a new friend. At any rate, know this. In a democracy or democratic republic, voters are the heroes. It's our superpower. And with great power comes great responsibility, and our channel, The Renaissance Spirit, was created as a guide on that great journey to becoming our own superheroes and to find and live a life of purpose, reason, compassion, and civic virtue, a life worthy of history and legacy. I have a series of videos on all of these topics and I invite you to peruse the channel's rich library to find more intriguing and thought-provoking content. And if you are thus illuminated by the videos, please subscribe, like, and share, but even more importantly, please leave your thoughts in the comments. I truly want to know if I'm alone in these thoughts. We all need to listen to each other more. So, I'm all ears. Please let me know what you think. How are you feeling, who will you be supporting in the election and why, and do you feel like a superhero and part of the solution to the problems we face today, or part of the problem. And if you liked this short, please check out the full video "Citizen Superpowers: Your Vote," next: ruclips.net/video/zPJyIjaWyo8/видео.html. Everything from belonging, science, history, especially comparison and contrasts of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, even fun cultural stuff on Halloween and how those things fit into our shared history and cultural heritage, as well as videos that embody what the Renaissance was, why we should appreciate and understand history and how these things all fit together from a philosophical point of view. Please check out some of my other videos, and let me know what you think. I think we live in an age where we should expect more from ourselves individually, as well as from others. And we need to expect more from our fellow citizens and responsible, reasoned, and compassionate voting is a considerably big step and one of many superpowers we all should exercise more. And being an open, authentic, charitable, kind, respectful, articulate, reasoned, learned, compassionate, empathetic individual truly is a hero in a world want of them. Happy Election, and may the odds be ever in your favor. Peace!

    Liberation theology comes from the marxists. It teaches that the Catholic church is nothing more than a giant social welfare organization. The fruit of this evil is very apparent in our collapsing civilization.

    NO. How much did you get paid for this video or your time working on it? I really don't care what you have to say, I'm going to judge Kamala's last 4 years against the 4 years Trump was US President. I will choose the one who kept America safe, created a stronger country, a growing economy and secured the border while working to prevent illegal immigrants out. I will choose the leader who rushed to disasters to help Americans and gave them resources to help them, not the one who gave the resources to illegal immigrants and to foreign countries to wage war. I will choose for myself and will not be influenced by MSM or things like this.

    You lost me as soon as you mispronounced "Samhain." It is pronounced as Sow-wen; NOT Sam-hane. Every real, practicing Witch, or Wiccan, has a good chuckle when they hear it said improperly. Being able to say it right is sort of a measuring stick of realness for us. Just saying. 😊
