Samhain Book: The Samhain Companion
Today, Samhain is recognized as a spiritual forerunner of Halloween, but it retains a deep sacred meaning for many who follow earth-based traditions. It is often honored as the Celtic New Year, a time to release what no longer serves, set intentions for the coming season, and pay respect to ancestors. The thinning of the veil makes this festival especially associated with divination, ancestral communion, and honoring those who have passed on. Fires, feasts, and rituals remind us of the warmth and light we carry through the darkest season. In this way, Samhain is not only about endings, but also about the seeds of new beginnings planted in the fertile darkness.
Introduction to Samhain
At its core, Samhain is a festival of transition—where the warm, abundant days of autumn give way to the cold, dark stillness of winter. Historically, it was a time for communities to gather and celebrate the last of the year’s harvest, storing food and preparing for the months ahead. Alongside feasting and merriment, Samhain also carries a solemn tone, honoring those who have passed on and acknowledging the mysteries of death.
