Halloween's traditions - The origins
Why are witches' hats pointed?
Their shape definitely isn’t random! The pointed hat is believed to channel energies, both good and bad, to help witches focus on themselves and concentrate their powers. In essence, it acts like a lightning rod for magical energies.
Where does the tradition of the broom come from?
Over the years, witches have been imagined riding broomsticks, but originally, the broom had a spiritual significance. The act of sweeping was used to chase away evil spirits, symbolizing a cleansing of negative energies. To drive evil out of your home, try sweeping from east to west.
What about Pumpkins? Where does this tradition come from?

Carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns is a tradition that originated from the idea of using them to divert evil spirits and prevent them from entering homes. The light inside the pumpkin was thought to ward off unwanted spirits.
Why do we see apples cut in half in movies or series?

When an apple is cut in half, the seeds form a pentagram, a symbol often associated with protection and magic. Placing a laurel leaf on the pentagram is said to block evil influences.
