From Samhain Bonfires to LED Moths: Tracing Halloween’s Origins and Modern Twist
In this episode we unpack the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain—the harvest bonfire that marked winter’s approach—and follow its journey through Christian syncretism, immigrant adaptation in America, and finally into the LED‑lit costumes that light up our modern celebrations. We see how each layer—from pastoral economics to digital culture—shapes what Halloween looks like today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
