Shadows of Samhain — The Story Behind Halloween
When the veil thins and the fires burn low, Tradition Café celebrates Halloween’s roots and stories — marking the turn of the season, not the end of the journey.
As Samhain marks the turning of the year — the closing of one season and the quiet beginning of another — Tradition Café pauses to close its own circle. In this episode, we explore the origins of Halloween: from ancient Celtic rites and medieval customs to the spirited traditions that still echo today. And as a special treat, we end with “The Tale of Nero,” an adapted Celtic folktale, read by Jordan Torrey.
From bonfires and costumes to the veil between worlds, discover how ancient beliefs shaped the playful and mysterious celebration we know now. Whether you’re lighting a candle, carving a pumpkin, or simply listening, join us as we honor endings, beginnings, and the stories that bind them together.
Thank you for joining us this season. We’ll be back with more episodes on heritage, culture, traditions, and community — but for now, may your Samhain be bright, your Halloween full of wonder, and your circle unbroken.
