Halloween - Lunch Time with Demons

Season one (Ep17) This week's episode delves into Halloween's historical, occult, and societal origins rooted in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. We explore how the modern, commercialized holiday began as a sacred time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds was believed to be at its thinnest. From this belief enduring traditions emerged: wearing costumes to hide from wandering spirits, leaving food offerings to protect the home, and lighting bonfires for purification and safety. We trace the evolution of trick-or-treating back to the medieval custom of souling, when the poor would offer prayers in exchange for food. The conversation then expands into cultural commentary on how traditional symbols—like the witch's pointed hat and cauldron—were demonized through patriarchal and capitalist propaganda that pushed women out of the medieval brewing trade. Drawing connections between souling and today's world, we discuss modern issues of food insecurity, encouraging listeners to support local food banks and community aid programs. The episode closes on a playful note with personal Halloween memories and lighthearted complaints about the ultimate trick-or-treating disappointment: getting toothpaste instead of candy.   The word is "Longevity" we pronounce the letter g twice in it   Abella's Link Tree Ryan's Link Tree   The occult store in this week episode Ritualcravt Instgram
