Samhain Sabbat Correspondences | The Witches’ New Year
It’s finally coming! If you’re reading this, chances are: Samhain is almost here! Witches everywhere couldn’t be more excited!
Whether you’re celebrating this Wheel of the Year holiday on October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere or May 1 in the Southern Hemisphere, many Wiccans consider this day to be the Witches’ New Year! Others regard it as the best time of year to connect with the other side!
Samhain is the Pagan holiday that comes after Mabon or the Autumn Equinox. It’s the beautiful time when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest, allowing us to easily communicate with and visit the land of the dead.
Wondering how the veil can be the thinnest during two separate times of the year for the different hemispheres? As our local plants die away during fall, this mass exit of life energy creates an energetic opening between the physical realm and the spiritual realm. Due to that, the thinning of the veil happens on a local basis.
So, Samhain is a great time to pay respects to your ancestors, honor the cycle of life and death, and enjoy the new lives of children on this awesome day of the year!
How do you plan to celebrate the Festival of Samhain? What are your Halloween traditions? Will you honor the Celtic festivals of time past, practice modern Halloween traditions for your culture, or will you create your own Samhain celebrations? Let us know below!
