  • Summary

  • Before Halloween became a night of costumes and candy, it was Samhain, the ancient Celtic festival marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter. In this episode, we journey through the rich history of Samhain, exploring its deep spiritual significance, traditions, and how it was believed to blur the boundaries between the living and the dead. Learn how the ancient customs of honouring ancestors and warding off evil spirits transformed over the centuries into the modern Halloween we celebrate today. Join me, Cinzia DuBois, as we uncover the mysteries of Samhain and its lasting impact on both folklore and popular culture.
