Samhain
October 31st is when we celebrate Samhain (pronounced Sow-in). Samhain is the final harvest time of the year. It was the time that the fall crops were stored for the winter and the herds and flocks were culled so that fewer animals had to be fed through the winter. Meat was preserved to feed the family throughout the harsh months of the year.

Samhain marks the end of one year on the wheel of life and the beginning of another, a time for putting away the old and taking on the new. It is a time when the veil between this world and the spirit world is very thin and, therefore, a time to honor our ancestors and a time to be involved in divining or other higher pursuits.
