1:01Now PlayingHalloween traces back to far older traditions...moments in the year when the barrier between worlds was believed to thin. Across cultures, the early days of November signaled a return of spirits, omens, and otherworldly forces.
Even in Mithraic symbolism, torchbearers stand on either side of the god: one flame raised to the heavens, the other pointed toward the Earth, marking the cycle of renewal and destruction.
The fear of a world-ending event...a deluge, a cosmic turning...sits at the core of these traditions. Halloween remembers that ancient moment when the gates between realms briefly opened.
