Thanksgiving is a holiday that is widely celebrated in the United States, but it has its roots in pagan traditions that date back centuries. These pagan influences can be seen in the symbolism, customs, and rituals associated with Thanksgiving. One of the most prominent pagan influences on Thanksgiving is the harvest festival. In ancient pagan cultures, harvest festivals were held to give thanks for a successful harvest. These festivals often included feasting, music, dancing, and other forms of celebration. Similarly, Thanksgiving is a time when people come together to give thanks for the blessings of the past year, often through sharing a meal with family and friends.

yankee candle large jar witches brew
It was often depicted overflowing with fruits, vegetables, and other bountiful harvests. Today, the cornucopia is a common symbol of Thanksgiving, representing the abundance and generosity of the harvest season. In addition to the harvest festival and the cornucopia, Thanksgiving also incorporates elements of ancient pagan rituals and beliefs. For example, the act of saying grace before the Thanksgiving meal can be traced back to pagan rituals of giving thanks to the gods for the bounty of the harvest. Similarly, the tradition of making a wish and breaking the wishbone from the turkey can be seen as a pagan belief in the power of rituals to bring good luck and fortune. While Thanksgiving may have its origins in pagan traditions, it has evolved over time to become a holiday that is celebrated by people of all faiths and backgrounds. Today, Thanksgiving is seen as a time to express gratitude, spend time with loved ones, and reflect on the blessings of the past year. Despite its pagan influences, the true meaning of Thanksgiving is universal – a time to give thanks and appreciate the abundance in one's life..
Reviews for "From Samhain to Thanksgiving: Tracing the Seasonal Shifts"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with "Pagan influences on thanksgiving". I was hoping to learn about the history of Thanksgiving, but instead, the author focused solely on the supposed pagan origins. While acknowledging the influence of other cultures is important, I felt that the author completely undermined the true significance of Thanksgiving as a holiday of gratitude and unity. The book seemed more focused on debunking traditional beliefs rather than providing a comprehensive view of the holiday's origins. I do not recommend this book to anyone looking for an informative and balanced perspective on Thanksgiving.
2. Mark - 2 stars
"Pagan influences on thanksgiving" fell far below my expectations. The author seemed to have a clear agenda against the celebration of Thanksgiving, repeatedly highlighting its alleged pagan connections while neglecting the positive aspects of the holiday. While I appreciate a diverse understanding of history, this book seemed more interested in discrediting Thanksgiving altogether. I was hoping for a nuanced examination of the topic, but instead, I was left feeling dissatisfied and disheartened. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an objective exploration of Thanksgiving's origins.
3. Sarah - 1 star
I found "Pagan influences on thanksgiving" to be a frustrating read. The author seemed to cherry-pick historical facts and exaggerate the pagan influences, while dismissing the significance of Thanksgiving as a cultural and national tradition. As someone who values the importance of gratitude and coming together, I was disappointed by the negative tone throughout the book. I was hoping for a more balanced and informative exploration of Thanksgiving's origins, but this book only left me frustrated and unconvinced by the author's arguments. I would not recommend this book to anyone expecting a fair and comprehensive analysis of Thanksgiving.
4. Jake - 2 stars
"Pagan influences on thanksgiving" lacked depth and a well-rounded perspective. While I understand the importance of acknowledging different cultural influences, this book seemed more focused on discrediting and delegitimizing Thanksgiving as a holiday. The author failed to provide a balanced view of the origins and development of Thanksgiving, instead fixating solely on the alleged pagan elements. I was hoping for a more nuanced analysis, but was left unsatisfied and disappointed. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-researched and fair account of Thanksgiving's historical background.
5. Melissa - 1 star
I regret purchasing "Pagan influences on thanksgiving". I was drawn to the topic, hoping to gain insights into the diverse origins of Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, the author seemed solely fixated on discrediting the holiday by highlighting pagan influences. While I appreciate exploring different cultural perspectives, I was left feeling that the author had a personal vendetta against the celebration of Thanksgiving altogether. The book lacked objectivity and failed to provide a comprehensive and fair exploration of the topic. I do not recommend this book to anyone seeking a well-rounded understanding of Thanksgiving's history.
