Halloween's traditions - The origins

Discover Susan's explanations below;

Why are witches' hats pointed?

Their shape definitely isn’t random! Their hat is pointed because it channels energies, both good and bad, in order to better focus on oneself and concentrate. In short, it acts a bit like a lightning rod.

Where does the tradition of the broom come from?

Over the years, witches have been imagined riding broomsticks, but at the beginning, the broom had a spiritual meaning. The expression "to sweep" is used literally as well as figuratively, and in the case of our witches, it was used to chase away evil spirits. So, to drive evil out of your house, sweep from east to west.

What about pumpkins? Where does this funny tradition come from that consists in transforming them into monsters?

In addition to being funny to look at, the idea of putting a pumpkin in front of your house was used to divert evil spirits and prevent them from entering your house.

We often see an apple cut in half in movies or series, what is it used for?

When it comes to an apple cut in two, the inside of the apple represents the pentagram, on which a laurel leaf is placed to block the evil.
