EP 12 | Don't Be Stingy Jack
Kimmy Hammons • Aloreing Podcast Episode • 10/23/2021
Halloween is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than learning about the lore of Jack-o-lanterns while carving your very own! Both Kimmy and Ryan will be discussing the legend of Stingy Jack and why people carve pumpkins for Halloween. And remember, always carry a belt with a minimum of 10 crosses on you and some silver coin to trick the devil. We hope you enjoy this episode of Aloreing and can’t wait to see what you create.
