- čas přidán 23. 10. 2022
- 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.

Thank you for watching. Please share this video.
Whoever does these animations is a complete master craftsman
I love how he draws sasquatch into the main intro scene :)
Pretty sure there's an app for that. 🥸
@@DavidBryantsTranscendent what is it called? And what “that”’does it do?
Well poop... Now I have to look it up because I didn't have any use for it. 😂
@@wurdofwizdumb1928 there's actually several now apparently. I found a filmora article that lists the top five "white board animation" makers. It's a much more entertaining version of power point.
(Why am I googling things for a stranger. I must stop googling things for strangers.)
Moovly, VideoScribe, Explaindio, Doodley, Vyond.
I'm sure there's more. Googles not gonna put you on a watchlist for looking. 🥸
Thanks for featuring Randall. He's in the top 10 of most important humans alive for me. I hope people get to know his astonishing work.

I know Randall by way of Graham Hancock. He's more than just a pretty face.
Who else is just discovering this gem of a YT channel? I've been trying to think of ways to introduce topics like this into normal conversation, but I always get crazy looks. This is a good way to get people to pay attention to subjects they would otherwise normally think are too far out or are full of too much 'woo-woo'
It's no wonder that Jupiter was godlike to do many...the power to remove deadly comets from orbit - would have been so welcome! Excellent work Randall 💯👏
Has anyone else noticed you never see Santa Clause and Randall Carlson in the same place at the same time? 🤶 🎄
Haha
You mean never seen Odin and Randall Carlson in the same place at the same time.
@payingforfreespeech4994 Who TF is that guy? ^*Claus, not Clause🤡🤦♂️
He's more of a Dumbledore wizard to me.
He doesn’t release many videos in late December either. Something’s going on here!
Randall Carlson is an amazing teacher. He has a way of making even the most complex topics seem like a campfire tale. I've had the great privilege of going on some geology trips with Randall and I learned more in those few weeks than in all my years of school. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join Randall on these trips and in his classes. Check out his site for dates.
The vast majority of the human story is a complete mystery. As Graham Hancock would say, "We are a species with Amnesia." We have forgotten where we came from, & therefore we have lost sight of why we're here and where we are going.

I greatly appreciate your collaborations with Randall! Your illustrations coupled with his story telling abilities and infinite knowledge and wisdom always make for the best of content. Thank you! Keep up the great work
Great video guys! Randall and After Skool. You guys are awesome! I bought some of your artwork for my wall. Keep it up friends!
THANK YOU After Skool for hosting this presentation from Mr. Carlson. You/After Skool have such a TOP notch platform, it helped spread the message here. Was thrilled to see the notification for the live stream and quickly became speechless at the weight and scope of his presentation.
What an unforgettable collaboration of effort. I love you so much for this. You AND Mr Carlson.
Outstanding....! Thank you
Also check out his youtube channel Kosmographia
Speechless. This not only a highlight of Randall's works on astronomy but probably the most amazing overviews of global history I have EVER seen. WOW! Thank you wow wow wow.
It is also a bit terrifying, so I WISH you all a happy safe Halloween and hope we survive the incoming debris.
Thank you After Skool for hosting this epic moment and thank you Mr Carlson for the presentation.
I will never look at Halloween, or art, or history, religion or myth, or meteor showers, the same ever again.
Trust me now everytime I hear about dragons or destruction/anything from the heavens (which is in many stories ) I just picture meteors
This is definitely my new found interest, the more I learn , the more I believe the taurid meteor stream was an earth changing event many times over.
i suggest you watch hidden mathematics also by randall carlson and after school. Its very educational and interesting
Randall's voice is so perfect for reading stories
That's what I thought
perculililliliy
Certainly will never look at Halloween the same way after watching this; the implications being far reaching. Absolutely fascinating astronomical history and delineation. The combination of Afterskool art and Randall Carlson commentary was a treat for the eyes and ears.
i suggest you watch hidden mathematics also by randall carlson and after school. Its very educational and interesting
@@fritzeckstein95 Thanks. I’ve already seen it. Fascinating!
I'm 1 minute into the video and am already utterly captivated. Bravo.
Had you been utterly captivated you would have not been the slightest bit interested in commenting. Even if you had to pause it because life was happening. 😊
What took you so long?
@@justintothetruth 😮💨
The first minutes gotta be the most boring part of this that’s cap
BIG CAP lmao ...one minute in and we’ve got one broad quote 😂
I was born Nov. 2 of 1987. Was conceived around the time supernovae 1987a was detected. I am also a practicing pagan of more than 2 decades, and a big believer in the mythos of my birthing day.
This is my favorite of all your works in this vein, by far.
I will be passing this along to everyone I know, starting with my kids and parents. They will love it, I am sure.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate the art that went into this. I'm not even 10 minutes in and the art is so beautiful!
After school is unique but very effective at transmitting information. Mr. Carlson is always a treat.
This is so awesome! Thanks to you guys and Randall for making this. Mr. Carlson is basically the wise uncle we all need, and when he speaks I listen.
Update: The Sacred Geometry video he did with After Skool changed my life in a significant way, I highly recommend it.
Yes that old uncle.. the one you still have a bath with, even tho you're 31 yrs old.
easy bud, yes hes great but also... its a repetition of information. the only thing I give young man respect for is his knowledge of mushrooms ...
This is just absolutely phenomenal. So much knowledge and information about the human story in what most people just see as odd and unusual ancient artwork. Imagine, with all the info we know now, how much we've lost.
the more i learn the less i know, same 4all. as to what i know, its just the beginning, humanity will proxy all knowledge and we are bound for the stars.... its gona be awesome
Wow! So, a couple things pop out at me. 1) The “broom-star” as an ill omen must be where the tradition of witches riding brooms came from, and 2) the quintessential ghost costume of a white sheet over the head with eyeholes cut out looks exactly like what Randall showed of a comet shooting through the sky. Fascinating stuff!! I love Randall’s lectures!
The flying of brooms motif came from testimonials at witch trials to "flying" to ritual after taking entheogens, primarily using plants of the genus Solanaceae that are hallucinogens such as Bella Donna, Datura and Mandragora (mandrake). This has been well documented. I suggest the book 'The Witches Ointment' by Thomas Hatsis. Cauldrons were used to cook up the drugs/medicines/poisons, brooms were used to clean up, and all these things were employed in rituals which used entheogens.
Thinking about it in the way you are saying it is interesting that one of the possible meanings of the name Ekate (Hekate), the Anatolian/Greek goddess of witchcraft is 'The far shooter'
The original images of witches riding brooms showed the broom inserted top first as this was the two ways to take a drug. Over the centuries the image was badtardised into what is shown today
@Alexis Paterson What do you mean by the broom was the two ways to take a drug?
Nice observation with the sheet costume.
@@LifeisGood762 Pretty sure he meant to say "one of the two ways..."
And he's talking about anal or vaginal absorption.
Believe it or not, this is one of the most effective ways to absorb a drug!
There are a lot of blood vessels in there, and the level of absorption is almost on par with IV injections.
So basically the idea is that these old school "witches" were preparing a "flying ointment" (recipes for which often contained drugs like datura, henbane, etc) and then using the end of a wooden broom as an "applicator" to get the drugs into a place where it will absorb quickly.
This is one of the theories for why witches are classically associated with "flying on broomsticks"
I love how computer animation can make it seem so real and simple. Its one thing to hear what went on, but to virtually see it brings it alive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Randall speaks to ancient and beautiful maths and magic and mystery. Thanks to him, and After Skool, for this! Warm winds and following seas. 🧡
This is a great Halloween treat 🎃
Thank you for hosting RCarlson. I've thought about Celtic year & realize it makes more sense then current understanding of when seasons begin. The Midway points between solstices and equinoxes mark beginnings of seasons with the solstices and equinoxes marking MIDseason. Samhain marks the midway between Autumn equinox and Winter Solstice, which marks the Beginning of Winter, the darkest QUARTER of the year. Imbolc is midway between Winter Sol & Spring equinox marking the beginning of Spring; Beltane, the beginning of Summer & Lughnasadh, the beginning of Autumn. Each season has 13 weeks, with midseason being solstices & equinoxes. Currently, we are told the seasons BEGIN with the midpoints... we've lost so much understanding of marking the seasons.
This was absolutely fascinating! You finally made brooms associated with Halloween make actual sense. Thank you!!!
Randall, you are the best! Keep doing what you are doing! I'm an English teacher, and I often refer to your videos and topics. My students are fascinated!
You are a teacher?!?!?!!
I am. I teach ESL. Is that so surprising? LOL@@ElsadelValleGaster
As he points out, it really takes only a cursory search to learn there's religious and cultural significance to Halloween. It's sad that people will only ever learn anything if it's featured on social media, they just sit and wait for things to be delivered to be consumed without the curiosity to seek it out. I hope that changes. That being said I'm grateful this was produced and posted.
to be old and wise you first survive young and stupid
This is an absolute blessing. One of the coolest videos I've seen on CZcams.
Can we get After Skool in dark mode? I’m trying to snooze over here.
Love you Randall!
This is genuine reason to be scared of Halloween. Also incredibly fascinating…
don't turn my stomach like that.
what? scared? don’t live in fear man
says the human adult amusement park smh
@@nivlezemog8379 fear can be your friend if you know how to use it correctly! Dont let fear cripple you but understand its a part of daily life
@@charged710 tell that to the original post not me brother
A common area with truth seekers can gather, meet and talk about their experiences. Thank the host for the hard work, well done 👍
You guys HAVE to do a video with Randall about Atlantis!
Wow just amazing Randall. I cannot communicate how powerful this was and how I thought, naively, that 1+hr about Halloween was misplaced. Thank you for this and may all that watch it pass it on.
You the man Randall been following your work for a couple of years now. It's very scary, the implications are incredible. Thank you for your work can't wait to see what else you find. 🙏
Just realized how haunting Randall voice can be. Happy Halloween.
This is truly breathe taking when you consider the expanse of the earth and the distance between civilizations and yet there knowledge of history is so similar as to the vast destructive events of the earth.
I knew there was a tie in with this celebration with our path in the galaxy but I didn't even think about the connection to the last ice age, the meteor that fell and caused it, coinciding with a celebration of that time of year. Very cool, I very much appreciate this content and all your work. I love sharing these videos and this info with others.
I absolutely love this, and I have to say that I’m really impressed by the ancient’s ability to communicate the amount of information they do with their symbols. It would be easy to overlook a lot of critical information in cave paintings and ancient such by just assuming it’s artwork, or that the detailed Pleiades depiction is just any ol’ random star cluster with no real meaning
this is the beauty of our modern human intellect.
eons ago, human consciousness was not the way it is today.
our eon’s mission is to propagate human consciousness by developing INTELLECT. The power of thought.
We were BORN rediscover our ancients (that was us) secrets
I like how it started as afterskool but became an hour long randall seminar. I'm very fascinated hiwever i expected more of that great illustration.
When you’re doing The Great Work and having Kabbalism/High Magick/AstroTheurgy change your life… and you hear something like this on the forefront of CZcams Algorithm… all you can do is smile. Thank you Randy. May your journey (as I know you’ve taken it) inspire others to take the same.
I've been trying to research halloween and it's historical relevance for over a year now and not once had I read anything about a world wide synchronized holiday.
I had an art teacher a long time ago who described autumn as a season of death. It's when all our crops are harvested and left to die and all the foliage withers. And it comes directly before what was often the most deadly season of the year for humans. Her explanation has always had a great deal of significance in my life.
Thank you for all the work you put into this, it's been very insightful
12:22 We have been connected for so long through similar traditions. Of course there are some more unique offshoots, but for many of the major holidays there has been a clean wipe of these connections from our education. I think we have been conditioned to be ignorant of our similarities. While we can all say we're human, that shouldnt be the only education given on the subject. I love stuff like this and I thank Mr. Carlson and this wonderful artist for their efforts in making these connections known!
Love Randall Carlson… This one is especially compelling
Awesome stuff as always gentlemen. Thank you once again. Put this on with my boy before bed and he was absolutely glued to the story and engaged in the mystery. had some great questions. He was looking forward to some bugs bunny but had no problem gettig into the first 10 mins of this one. Your videos make connections like no other. Thank you!! 🇨🇦🏴☠️
I'm never disappointed by clicking on a video with Randall Carlson in it.
I really enjoy Randall's videos. Halloween still has a lot of relevance here in Ireland. And I'm delighted to hear Randall pronounce Samhain properly. I think he's been taking Gaelic lessons 😊
Randell is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs
You’ve said this before?
Interesting, this also explains the continuous use of meteor/comet symbolizing a coming of a new age/era in modern shows from the latest LOTR rings of power, Game of thrones symbolizing magic and dragons returning to the world, to the apocalyptic meteor shows in countless movies. Sorcery riding the broom comet in the sky is an interesting metaphor.
I love Randall’s work and am always interested in learning from him.
Amazing the art kept me very focused on the information.... thank you
I watched an older video by Randall last year on the same subject, think it was called "The Cosmic Origins of Halloween" and it blew my mind. I went to look for it again this year to refresh myself on the topic, as it is October and I love to immerse myself in the historical (and pre-historical) origins of my favourite holiday Halloween, and the video was gone- not on CZcams anymore. I am so happy to see that Randall teamed up with AfterSkool to create this vid; what an important treasure is this presentation of Randall's excellent work. Thank you so much to Randall and AfterSkool for this. Also, I would love to see that older video again as well, as it contained much of the same info but it was slightly different as I recall. Anyone know where to find that?
czcams.com/video/zbpElHz6quw/video.html
@@ThatAustrianPrince Thanks so much for sharing. It was that second video Decrypting the Cosmic Origins of Halloween that I saw. Also thanks for directing my attention to how tube; I now have a new platform to check out.
the older videos are on the channel geocosmicrex
You explain things so well, Randall, and the visuals really extrapolate it to fully grasp the ideas.
Randall Carlson is the best presenter. I like how his videos are longer ones..very informative!
An observation on the Clay Star map. The Most advance civilization, at ANY time, doesn't scrape its most valuable knowledge into a piece of clay, as an act of superiority. It scrapes it's most valuable information in a disc of clay as the last act of desperation, to send the info FORWARD!!
Sorry. Thank You Mr. Carlson for your Decades of Work. This video isn't just one subject, it is all subjects. I had come to the conclusions that you have come too prior to my learning of your work. I wish I had the memory that you have. I look forward to a one of your tours.
I wasn't sure when he started out, but soon he began to connect all the dots. It's a fascinating interpretation.
I cant believe I live in a time when I can experience an entire lecture about this fascinating topic, right here in my home, for free. I also cant wait for it all to be washed away.
A brilliant and long-overdue video, flawlessly researched and well-delivered.
Incredible presentation. Thank you . Easily one of the most exciting lectures I’ve ever heard on this subject .
I'm so grateful that this is just over an hour long. No sarcasm.
Absolutely Fantastic Information!! Thank you all that were involved in making this happen!
This might be the most informative thing Ive seen all year. Thank you!
Loved this video!!! So interesting and definitely will be celebrating Halloween with a different perspective from now on
This video definitely turned in ways I didn't expect... Definitely intriguing! Just wish I could get college credits from watching his video... LOL
This is so beautiful. I feel more connected to our past every time I hear Mr. Carlson speak. Thanks for this 🙂
Soooo interesting, thank you for this wonderfull work.
30:31 ancient proof pokemon existed. and trainers battled naked. we need a whole video on this.
great video btw 11/10
Fascinating material for review, thank you so much for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sending love to you from Ontario Canada. ❤️🎶🌹
Hello beautiful
Always enjoy a good Randall Carlson lecture.
BEST YT CHANNEL HANDS DOWN !
Awesome work Mr.Carlson. your knowledge that is shared amongst us is much appreciated
Woo I just found this channel, I love learning the origins of various traditions, I have been watching alot of Halloween origin documentarys, alot are very heavily American based unfortunately. I am looking forward to exploring more of your videos. Thanks
Randall never fails to amaze me. If he doesn't know already, he'll endeavor to find out. More than just a pretty face.
Can't wait to receive the wisdom 🕉️
Awesome. That was the best video I've watched in a long time. Thank you.
I found it interesting that the meteors pass right by Jupiter before being seen in the sky. Jupiter was the Roman equivalent to Zeus, the god of sky and thunder, usually depicted with an eagle, which is referenced in many depictions with this event. Interesting to think how things can overlap. Very intriguing
Holy. Freaking. Crap. Watching Randall Carlson stuff is almost always mind blowing, but this was extra. We have spent decades dismissing folklore and oral traditions very much at our peril!
been following Randall for awhile, did not expect him on this!
He has a previous one too on after skool
This commentary connected so many dots for me!! Thank you!
The quintessential professor to listen to lecture.Super thanks to this channel’s work and Mr Randall Carlson.
As always, Brilliant information . Thank you so much for all the research and dedication to our real history 💞🌻☀
In Welsh who follow a similar Celtic story to the Irish & Scottish , November is called "Tachwedd" meaning "slaughter" as it was the ritual slaughter & feasting of the livestock to fuel you for "the dark half" of the year - Sowain / Samhain as the Scottish / Irish refer to it. In Welsh, Halloween is "Noson calan Gaeaf" - "the winter night of the new year". This was the counter part to May's "Beltane" where again fire's were used to purify & bring in life to celebrate the emergence summer & nature's life-power. Bonfires were lit & kept to purify the air & bring light into the darkness ahead. The name Bonfire comes from "bone fires" which were stacked after the slaughter of the livestock.
This is just straight up amazing work. Thank you Randall!
Pretty much the most amazing video I've seen on CZcams
This is dope!!! Thank you SO much for sharing this!!!?
I've learned more from these two channels, Graham's books, and "The Immortality Key" than my entire time through school. I feel like so much that is going on today is just useless fodder in the face of this information.
Fun side note: My birthday is June 13th, and my brother's is November 17th. 👀
EXCELLENT explanation, thank you to you and your team!
I could listen to Randall Carlson talk about anything he wants for hours. He's a great treasure 🥰💎💕
so awesome!! thanks for sharing this info.
Randall!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a look at the Himalayan mountains and apply your theory there. From my perspective, it looks like a glacier used to sit just north of the mountains, and the flood waters went all the way across North Africa and to Western Australia carving out the east and west Asian landscapes and burying cities across North Africa.
Interesting perspective I hope to see if it pans out
This is one of the most epic videos I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic.
Randall is our modern-day genius, and he makes me very grateful for the internet because without it, this would be hidden knowledge
Thank you, Mr Carlson
I did NOT expect this to be so in depth and tied to Astological calendars but then again..... they probably did not have too many paper mills to print calendars lol
What day is it daddy?
Wait til dark son and we will go look at the calendar in the sky.
The Japanese name for the Plieades is Subaru. The constellation is their logo.
@@KAT-dg6elAnd somehow Subaru does *NOT* mean Plieades in Japanese ?
🤯
Always love rewatching this one. It's fascinating the origins
Thank you for posting this. It was really fascinating and thought provoking.
Thank you to the great Randall and the revolutionary and necessary after skool 🙏 giving me hope of a conscious future
Love the information and subject. God Bless.
After School, thank you for giving Randall this space to bring us all the beautiful understandings of things unknown to many. Very grateful 🙏🏻
Yes, Randall is a living library. It's a blessing to work with him. Thank you for the kind words.
The best hour I’ve ever spent on CZcams 🙏🎃
Great research as usual! 👍
I had read in the past that the festival of the hallows was celebrated by the ancient celtic cultures, and many of the current traditions started by them (and it was mostly focused in honoring dead people and scaring off evil spirits), but I had no idea that the 3 days were interconnected across many civilizations (many of which didn't know about each other by the time they started celebrating), might be the fact that spring can be seen as a symbol of life alongside summer, and fall as a symbol of death (i.e. dry grass, caduceus leaves falling, drying trees, etc.), or maybe there is really some sort of mysticism behind these particular 3 days... It's a similar concept about God and many civilizations through history sharing common ideas about God(s) and sometimes even common practices.
Southern Hemisphere it would be going into summer in November, aboriginals in Australia celebrate this date, Fijians are at the equator region, San people of Southern Africa also throw burning sticks at shooting stars.
It’s a very important time for many harvests across the world.
Especially Marijuana
This was great. I love the tying together of all the possibilities, and with the Art too!
I came into this expecting the alteration and preservation of ancient traditions and I left pleasantly surprised. Very intriguing video!
Does anyone else wonder if Spanish bullfighting stems from depictions of stabbing a bull/Taurus in the shoulder?
100% why
so good! so helpful in explaining many symbols and traditions! i think it’s curious that there is a comet named after a guy named Encke who surely is derives his name from the Sumerian author (athor hathor etc…) of humanity, Enki!!!
