Explore the mystical world of Halloween, Samhain, and All Souls Day from a unique perspective with me, Jill Jardine, and my guest, Sarah Adams, a gifted psychic and intuitive consultant. Together, we uncover the roots of these age-old celebrations, tracing their transformation from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain into the Halloween we know today.
The glow of Halloween hides a far older story—one that begins at summer’s end, when communities gathered by firelight to honor ancestors and prepare for winter. We sit down with intuitive consultant and psychic astrologer Sarah Adams to reconnect Halloween with its Celtic roots in Samhain, then trace how the church reframed a beloved fire festival into All Saints and All Souls. Along the way, we talk jack-o’-lanterns as spirit-warding tools, why costumes originally protected the living, and how daylight’s retreat invites deep inner work.
The heart of the conversation is power—who holds it, who defines it, and how archetypes shape culture. Sarah unpacks the “season of the witch,” showing how a vague label became a weapon against midwives, herbalists, and outspoken women. We revisit the story of Hypatia of Alexandria as a turning point that signaled the suppression of the feminine divine, and we connect those historic patterns to modern fears, cultural memory, and a growing reclamation of earth-based wisdom. With Scorpio season intensifying themes of death and rebirth, we explore what happens when the veil feels thin and how to meet it with intention rather than anxiety.
Sarah also shares striking experiences of past life healing that unlocked unexpected skills in the present—illustrating soul memory in action and the practical value of regression, ritual, and mantra. Together we offer grounded practices for this time of year: honoring ancestors, identifying your “final harvest,” setting new moon intentions, and choosing the traditions that genuinely nourish you. If you’ve ever sensed there’s more to Halloween than costumes and candy, this conversation gives you the history, symbolism, and tools to make the season meaningful.
