Happy Halloween!

from Spirit Talk · host Brandee Bolton

In this episode we dive into the history of Halloween and it's ties to Samhain, the Celtic pagan tradition the modern day holiday was derived from with the help of the Catholic church.   While Celtic pagans started the traditions based on their end of year celebrations, it wasn't until immigration during the potato famine when pagan practices made their way to North America.  That is what finally birthed the current tradition of the phrase used on Halloween, "trick or treat?" and the modern version of Halloween. Have you heard the term "the veil is thinning"?  The Celts believe the veil was thin during Samhain.  Sharing what I have learned about Halloween traditions inspired me to talk about the veil.  What is it and what does it mean when it's thin?  With help of my spirit guides, I describe what affect a thinning veil can have on us and different circumstances that lead to a thinner veil.   Hope you enjoy!  Thank you for tuning in.  Please like, rate, review, as it helps this podcast spread.

AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
