The Wiccan feast of Samhain, also known as the Witches’ New Year’s Eve, takes place on October 31st is. Lord Samhain, the Celtic prince of darkness, ushers in the start of the new year. Samhain (pronounced sow-in) means “end of summer” in Gaelic. Wiccans believe that, on this day, the boundaries between the spirit world and the physical world are at their thinnest, which allows contact with the departed. Many cultures celebrate this day as Halloween. Samhain is a traditional time for remembrance and release. We also plan for a more prosperous future by releasing any negative energy that prevents us from finding happiness and prosperity.
