Samhain (pronounced "sow-in") is a Celtic Pagan festival celebrating the end of the harvest and moving into the dark half of the year with Winter. Samhain is one of eight sacred days on the Pagan Wheel of the Year. All of these days hold spiritual significance with the seasons and the Sun.
Samhain carries themes of:
- honoring ancestors and the beloved dead
- celebrating the harvest
- understanding the cosmic death-cycles
- using community to forge connections and ensure survival through the harshest months
- merging between the spirit world and the world of the living
In this episode, I discuss the history of Samhain, give a deeper look into the themes, and discuss ways you can celebrate Samhain today. May your Samhain be safe and sacred. Blessed be.
