Santa, "The Shaman"

Santa is often looked upon favorably as a jolly old man giving gifts to little children and keeping the "magic" of Christmas alive.

Millions of parents will spend the first 6 to 8 years of their children’s lives telling them this lie, going to great lengths to prove it, and inevitably crushing them with the truth. But the height of this hypocrisy is that they will then ask this same child to help them continue this lie to pamper the younger siblings in the household. Alas, we lie and teach our children to lie. How then can one expect honesty.

Santa is nothing more than a myth perpetrated by a demonic force that has been around for thousands of years deceiving men in various forms, although one author (not Christian) is amazed at the similarities of this shamanic spirit."It has never ceased to amaze me that Herne/Pan existed almost unchanged for some 10,000 years. We first saw him in prehistoric cave drawings in the Dordogne, and when we saw him again in the seventeenth-century illustration, he had not changed one bit. He was still standing, with his musical instrument, in his animal skins, masked and horned; dancing the Dance of Life while aggressively displaying his manhood. He was truly the Spirit of Nature, the raw Spirit of Life [obvious blasphemy] letting his light shine brightly in that short interval between birth and death. He survived the next three centuries, but was gradually silenced, sanitized, castrated, dehorned and finally - as his Dance of Life was slowed to a crawl - was presented to us in shopping malls: boozy, old, overweight, grey, and even worse (thanks to Big Business), ‘cute’ [but nonetheless, the same spirit]"(When Santa was a Shaman, Renterghem).

A shaman is nothing more than a wizard practicing witchcraft, and Santa Claus is quite the master shaman. Not only does he fly (a boasted practice of many a witch), but he goes down the chimney just as the shamanic spirit of old. In the book , The Story of Santa Klaus, we read: "From the earliest days of Christianity, the policy of missionaries had always been to adapt and incorporate pagan customs by giving them Christian interpretation and meaning. And the Arctic was no exception, Nikolai [St.Nicholas], became a super Shaman, a spiritual time-traveller, a mystic go-between for the people and their new Christian God. On his visits to the reindeer people, like the Shaman - and indeed everyone else - he came and went through the chimney - literally - in a cloud of smoke! Nikolai Chudovorits is now little more than a folk memory. But in the dark, midwinter of 200 years ago he was flying high on magic mushrooms, carrying gifts for the Gods on his supernatural reindeer sledge and returning to the mortal world down the chimney"(p.35).

Offerings were made to the god Odin (who also came down from the north bearing gifts), to ensure prosperity in human and animal reproduction as well as crop growth for the coming year.

Santa also receives offerings of cookies and milk, but in our "enlightened" society, a toast with eggnog or alcohol and words of prosperity such as "Happy New Yea" and "Best Wishes" are offered instead. (read James 5:13- 17)

Santa’s predecessor, Sinterklaas often received a glass of gin as an offering for the "good saint", and his horse received offerings of hay or carrots(some children are taught to leave treats for the reindeers) .

It is obvious that the age-old spirit of Herne/Pan, the shaman, the trickster, has deceived millions of people into honoring him with all his blasphemous titles.

Witchcraft is strictly forbidden in God’s word. Manassah did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord:"And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used ENCHANTMENTS, and used WITCHCRAFT, and dealt with a FAMILIAR SPIRIT, and with WIZARDS: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."(2 Chron.33:6) (Emphasis mine)

Let’s not sacrifice our children’s innocence to Satanic lies perpetrated by the devious "Holy" Roman empire who has so cleverly deceived mankind with her witchcrafts. She is an adulterous woman and the blood of saints is on her hands. Depart from this pagan feast day and most of all, this blasphemous image of Christmas, Santa (Satan-the deceiver)!
