SAMHAIN(pronunciation: saw-win) October 31 - November 1

Samhain marks the renewing of the cycle of the Wheel of the Year, is the most important sabbat. During this time, the veil that separates the worlds is at its thinnest, allowing for lost ancestors and loved ones to pass into our world. On this day, honor those who are no longer in this realm. Samhain marks a new year on the Wheel, take a moment to set intentions and goals for your next year. Also begin to make space in your life for rest, as winter is soon to begin.
