Happy October boos & ghouls! 👻
Light the jack-o'-lantern and put on your costume because it’s the most frightful time of the year - Halloween! 🎃 And that means it’s also time for Lauren & Felicia’s annual Halloween history lesson. This week, they dig into why black cats and spiders are associated with All Hallows’ Eve. We see them everywhere from decorations to party favors (remember those little plastic spider rings?!) to haunted houses and of course treats. But are their origins more tricks? Naturally, it all started with witches for these creepy crawlies and frightening felines. Listen to hear more about why these animals and insects as iconography are so foundational in our favorite holiday. 🕷️🐈‍⬛
