NOTE

Nourish Spirits with Water and Kindness

Water serves as an essential source of energy for spirits, which explains the haunting nature of areas near water bodies, such as New Orleans. Acknowledging the need for spirits to be 'paid' during their journeys, it's customary to leave coins as an offering, particularly during Halloween, to facilitate their visit. This practice ties back to myths where spirits must pay for their passage. Moreover, donating the coins left as offerings to Hecate, the goddess who watches over those on society's fringes, enhances the ritual. Hecate's association extends beyond witchcraft to encompass the marginalized, such as the homeless. By appealing to Hecate through acts of charity, individuals not only honor the spirits but also contribute positively to those in need, thereby inviting Hecate's attention and protection over their spiritual connections.
