Samhain, celebrated on 31st October โ 1st November, is an ancient Celtic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Itโs a time when the veil between the living and the spirit world is at its thinnest, making it a sacred period for reflection, honoring ancestors, and connecting with unseen energies.
๐ฎ ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ & ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ:
Originating from Celtic paganism, Samhain was a festival of both harvest celebration and spiritual awareness.
Bonfires were lit to guide spirits, protect communities, and honor those who had passed.
Ancestor veneration and divination were common, using methods like scrying or tarot.
Modern celebrations blend with Halloween traditions, but the spiritual roots remain a time of introspection and honoring cycles.
