About this listen

Hello beautiful people, every time this year we are inspired to have this conversation, to question why do we hook line and sinker take on the festival of Halloween in October without questioning why?

In this conversation, we explore the cultural significance and historical origins of Halloween, particularly in the context of the Southern Hemisphere where it coincides with Beltane.

We discuss the transition from ancient Celtic traditions to modern celebrations, the commercialisation of Halloween, and the disconnect between seasonal changes and cultural practices.

Our dialogue emphasises the importance of being conscious of traditions and encourages embracing local celebrations that align with nature's cycles.

We hope you enjoy our contemplations and we'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
