Samhain Blessings To All - Nos Galan Gaeaf

"Now let us welcome the new year, full of things that have never been…"- Rilke

moving fragrant light to fertile dark
transitioning from outside to inner worlds
ancestors bless the turning of the year

The information below is from an article by Selena Fox entitled Celebrating the Season on the website Circle Sanctuary:

Samhain, popularly known as Halloween, occurs in late October and early November. For most Wiccan practitioners, this is the New Year, and a time for letting go of the old and looking ahead to the new. It marks the end of the harvest season. Since ancient times, Pagans have paid their respects to departed loved ones, ancestors, and guides in the Spirit World at Samhain. The Goddess manifests as the Crone and the God as the Horned Hunter and Lord of Death. Sacred colors are Black and Orange. It is the festival of endings and transformation.




"The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." - G. K. Chesterton

May you enjoy the depths of your soul
