The Illusion of Innocence: The Hidden Story of Halloween ...

What this episode covers

Every October, the world dresses up in costumes, lights candles inside pumpkins, and celebrates a night few truly understand. In this episode of Project Alētheia, we peel back the mask and explore the real history of Halloween — from its ancient Celtic origins to its modern reinvention.What began as a festival marking the boundary between the living and the dead has evolved into a night of fun, fear, and fascination. But beneath the costumes and candy lies a story that reveals far more about humanity’s search for meaning — and our relationship with darkness and light.Join us as we uncover the truth, reflect on what it means today, and ask the question: Is Halloween as innocent as it seems?Podcast⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social Media⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X/Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠contact me⁠[email protected]
