Samhain

Samhain (sow-ween) or All Hallow’s Eve is celebrated on October 31st and it literally means summer ending. This ancient holiday occurs between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice and celebrates the harvest. One of the many aspects that comprise Samhain is that of the Celtic New Year. At this point, one can glance back at the past year to gain insight from their experiences. This is also a time of honoring ancestors and deceased loved ones.

To All Of Our Readers That Celebrate, Happy Samhain, and Happy Halloween!
