Samhain Ritual
Samhain is here
As the wheel of the year turns, we approach Samhain, a sacred moment when the veil between worlds is said to thin. This festival, celebrated on October 31st- November 1st, is a time to honor our ancestors, connect with our inner shadows, and invite transformation into our lives. This is the perfect time of year to dive into your personal divination practices (oracle, tarot, ritual and spell work) and with that being said- its time to gather your supplies for our Samhain ritual. In this ritual we are honouring and connecting to our ancestors. We will open up space to receive loving guidance and let go of the past .
Your Ritual Supply List:
Candles (this ritual is to be done after sunset and in the dark, so at least one candle is needed)
Sage smudge (palo Santo, intense or other smudges also great)
Black crystal (obsidian, tormaline etc..)
Small pumpkin
Cinnamon
What is Samhain?
In the ancient Celtic calendar, Samhain marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. It invites us to slow down, reflect, and embrace the wisdom found in both light and darkness. Imagine it as an invitation from the Earth herself, whispering for us to honor what we've released and to make space for what’s waiting to be born within us. Just as nature surrenders, so, too, can we gently release old stories, identities, or emotions that no longer serve us, creating room for the seeds of new dreams and intentions.
At Samhain, we can connect with our lineage—be it through gentle meditation, lighting candles for those who've passed, or simply spending quiet moments in gratitude for their presence in our lives. This is also a beautiful time to journey inward and honor the goddess archetypes, as each one guides us through the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
So, on this sacred Samhain night, may you sit with us during our Samhain Ritual, breathe into the stillness, and let your heart whisper its deepest intentions. Embrace the mystery, for this is a time of magic, release, and profound new beginnings.
