The
Gate Of Hell Is Never Closed
The Seven Gates
To Hell!
The Gates of Hell, Musée
Rodin.
La
Porte de l'Enfer
La Porte de l'Enfer (translated
The Gates of Hell) is a monumental
sculptural group work by French
artist Auguste Rodin that
depicts a scene from "The
Inferno", the first section
of The Divine Comedy by Dante
Alighieri. It stands at 6
m high, 4 m wide and 1 m deep
(19.69'H × 13.12'W ×
3.29'D) and contains 180 figures.
The figures range from 15
cm high up to more than one
metre. Several of the figures
were also cast independently
by Rodin.
The sculptural ensemble was
commissioned by the Directorate
of Fine Arts in 1880 and was
meant to be delivered in 1885.
Rodin would continue to work
on and off on this project
for 37 years, until his death
in 1917.
The Directorate asked for
an inviting entrance to a
planned Decorative Arts Museum
with the theme being left
to Rodin's selection. Even
before this commission, Rodin
had developed sketches of
some of Dante's characters
based on his admiration of
Dante's Inferno.
The Decoratives Arts Museum
was never built. Rodin worked
on this project on the ground
floor of the Hôtel Biron.
Near the end of his life,
Rodin donated sculptures,
drawings and reproduction
rights to the French government.
In 1919, two years after his
death, The Hôtel Biron
became the Musée Rodin
housing a cast of The Gates
of Hell and related works.

Over the many centuries
as sure as their are many stories of the
great pearly gates to heaven their
has always been the infernal counter
part The Gate To Hell. The first gate is said to be the only one visible during the day, but it is very hard to find as it is buried within deep woods. The other six gates are only visible during the night, and the legend says that if you pass through all of them, you will land in hell. The stories of the Seven Gates to Hell or all mostly legandary haunted locations known to specific areas around the world. And all agree that they are truly just that, urban legands.
There is even
many urban legend of the Seven Gates to Hell,
which are said to be located all around
the world . Whether the stories are true or a great fiction many still search for them to this day.
From these open doors or haunted portals
1,000's of demons, devil's and the great Satan
himself are said to come and go as
they please. For you see these gates
will allow anyone to enter. But getting
out is the hard part, and Alive. Also

To Hell "
The annual long Ghost Festival Month
celebrations are from August 1st to
30st each year. The Ghost Festival
is always organized by the living
to appease the long ghostly dead.
However, its purpose is not to scare
people. Rather, it is aimed at keeping
alive the Chinese tradition of paying
respects to the dead, especially the
family ancestors. Also known as the
Hungry Ghost Month, Chungyuan Festival
by Taoists or the Yuelan Festival
by the Buddhists, the story of the
festival's origins has several versions.
ABANDON
ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE
One version describes the seventh
lunar month as the hottest month in
China, and so the black waters of
hell boil with an intensity that the
mystical seven gates of hell pop open
like a cork on a champaign bottle.
The steam that escapes is filled with
the ghost of the damned who come to
seek refuge in our world. It is so
believed that when most people, especially
the young ones, fell sick the Ghost
were at work spreading the evil demon
diseases of Hell.
The Seven Gates to hell have been
a source of many over the years great
search. For what ever their reason
many travel the world in search of
them. Either to make a pact with the
many demons and devils that guard
it;s locations or to actually see
the real Devil himself to bargain
for some secret power for the sale
of their soul.
One of these unholy seven gates is
claimed to be located in the Stull
Cemetery and "opens up"
only on Halloween at midnight. It
is fabled that you can see blood on
gravestones, hear and see strange
sights and even throw a glass bottle
at a wall surrounding the cemetery
as hard as you want and it won't break!
These stories have been linked to
Stull for more than 100 years.
In November 1974, an article appeared
in the University of Kansas student
newspaper that spoke of a number of
strange occurrences in the Stull churchyard.
According to the article, Stull was
“haunted by diabolical, supernatural
happenings” and they asserted
that the cemetery was one of the two
places on earth where the devil appears
in person two times each year. Some
call The Gate to Hell at Stull, just
a back or side door to the land of
Hades. Only because the only known
person or entity to use it is Satan
himself. Some call it the Devil's
Trap Door or Satan's escape hatch.
Where
To Find The Real Seven Gates Of Hell
Voodoo Cemetery Gates

Secret Portal To The Afterworld Voodoo
Hoodoo Hell
New Orleans Voodoosant celebrate
Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Carnival
or Mardi Gras, All Saints' Day, and
All Souls' Day on the days that are
traditionally celebrated in other
parts of the world. Flag and University
Day is the most celebrated national
holiday and is held on May 18. Other
important holidays are Ancestors Day
(January 2), Twelfth Night Day (January
6), St. Johns Eve (June 23) the Anniversary
of Dessalines' (1) Death (October
17), and Discovery of Haiti Day (December
5). And the entire Month Of August!
All these are important times when
it is said the Seven Voodoo gates
to hell are wide open and should not
be sought out.
Some locals in New Orleans say there is
only one gate others say seven and
still others say nine.
The exact location of the haunted
cemetery gates isn't really ever told
to outsiders of the Secret Societies.
New Orleans Tour Guides and Haunted
Cemetery or ghost tours will skirt
around the issue, or just look at
you like they don't know what your
talking about, so never mention it
(seriously). They say just to talk
about the accursed cemetery gates
spells doom to those that ask or search
for it or speak of it openly to anyone.
Those who know feel it is inviting
them , "The Ghede" to take
you away. Only someone pure of heart
with only one burning question to
be answered by the dead is ever told
the whole truth. A unnamed New Orleans
Voodoo priestess says quite bluntly,
search and you shall find them rusted
shut, or worse they will certainly
find you and be wide and opened. Its
primary goal is to both enlighten
and bridge the worlds of the dead
and the living, considered the most
sacred and the profane.
Some local voodoos' believe that the X crossed tomb
of Marie Laveau is this hidden legendary
portal. And truly believe it is not
wise to visit her tomb all alone.
They will warn you that you may be
pulled into the after world with no
hope of escape. A person can instantly
die and be taken back to the afterworld.
Still worse you or taken there alive!
Those who practice Voodoo in Texas
believe in a pantheon of gods who
control and represent the laws and
forces of the universe. And the Evil
Door To Hell.
In this pantheon, there is the Supreme
Deity, the master of all gods, the
loa who are a large group of lesser
deities, and the twins known as Marassas
rule over Galveston, Texas (And the
Supposed Location Of the Lost Gate
Of Hell). Twins are believed to have
special powers and once a year special
services are held for them in this
Texas town. It is said that the Lost
gate of Hell can appear anywhere in
the city in the month of August and
on All Souls day November 1st.
The Lost Gate To Hell is a Gate that
was cast out by the Gods and one hidden
in the new world so that if the Devil
ever made his way to the new world.
That he could not find a way to get
back to hell. Meaning when the original
Gate disappears for a time the lost
gate takes it's place. And only God
knows where they are located not a
demon or devil.
Eventually the devil, if he found
it and made The Marassas guard it
and make it stay in the spot where
the great voodoo hoodoo gods and lwa's
placed it.
As to the real Voodoo - Hoodoo Gate
to Hell in New Orleans. The old voodoo
tale tells that Satan himself put
it there because he wanted Marie Laveau
to enter it alive. And her many followers
too! Because Voodoo Has never died
in the new world the gate has found
a permanent home. And because of the
shear Southern Decadence that exist
in the Crescent city it draws all those
that the Devil wants to take to hell
"Alive".
