Welcome back, Witches! In this episode, we dive into the Samhain traditions of The Dumb Supper and Ancestral Veneration, exploring how these ancient practices connect us with our ancestors and honor the thinning veil between worlds. So get in, loser, we're summoning spirits and setting the table for the other side!
