Samhain Rituals and Candle Craft

Details

Samhain, also known as Halloween or the Witches' New Year, is a sacred and powerful time in the wheel of the year. Falling on October 31st, it marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. Samhain is a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is believed to be at its thinnest, allowing for easier communication with ancestors, spirits, and the other. It is a time of remembrance, honouring those who have passed on, and seeking guidance from the wisdom of the otherworld.
   Samhain is a time for introspection, shadow work, and embracing the cycles of life and death. It is a time to release, to let go of old patterns and to make space for new beginnings.
   Traditionally, bonfires were lit to ward off negative energies and to provide warmth and protection during the dark winter months but in modern times not all of us have access to outside fire settings so a beautiful hand crafted candle shall do! Today, Samhain is celebrated with rituals, divination, feasts and connecting with the dead .
   It is a time to honour the mysteries of life and death, to connect with our ancestors, and to embrace the transformative power of the season.
