    In this special chapter, we're donning our spookiest costumes and lighting our jack-o'-lanterns as we explore the enchanting world of Halloween. From its ancient roots to the hidden symbolism, and the rich tapestry of folklore, join us on a journey through the history and mysteries of this beloved, but often misunderstood holiday.

    With a deep dive into the origins of Halloween, you'll discover how it evolved from ancient Celtic traditions and why it's celebrated on the ominous night of October 31st. We'll unveil why we carve pumpkins, why we dress up, why we trick or treat, and what the point of the night is truly meant to be.
