Permission to open the class for a moment sir🤭 just to chip in this:Hecate the Greek goddess has association with crossroads, magic, and the night which makes her relevant to Halloween themes. In Greek mythology, Hecate was often depicted as a goddess of liminal spaces, such as crossroads, doorways, and boundaries between the living and the dead.Some modern pagan and Wiccan traditions honor Hecate on Halloween (Samhain), believing her powers are heightened as boundaries between worlds thin.

I also thought about that...🤔

I tell you ....even Halloween has an actual way it is celebrated (not the jiving and hurray type of celebration).

An average person does not know the origin, again I tell you... only the deep traditions of Samhain can show you the real EERIE Halloween.

I won't say more than that 🤐

True. A lot of these celebrations trace back to ancient beliefs like Hecate and the idea of blurred lines between worlds. That is exactly why Halloween feels deeper than just fun to me. When something has spiritual roots tied to the dead, magic, and liminal spaces, I think it deserves more caution than hype. Interesting history for sure, but not everything that fascinates us is meant to be entertained tbh
