Wowee!!! I have sat down to write this message about Samhain so many times, got up to switch the laundry over, sat down to write, got up to clean the dog bed, sat down to write, got up to replace the dog bed, and sat down again to write. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say in fact it’s quite the opposite - I have too much to say. Is there such a thing? Yes, yes there is. I don’t want us to get lost in the woods around all the folklore surrounding Samhain, I want us to all be able to do our own deep dives into this Celtic Holiday.
But here is a little about it from me -
What is Samhain?
Samhain pronounced Sow-wen (it is very important to Scottish and Irish people to pronounce it correctly) is a Celtic holiday practiced in Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man going way back like 2,000 years back. It is the last harvest! Everything that you could do to make it through winter you’ve done: brought in the harvest, killed the animals that won’t make it, gathered wood, made your house ready, and ate all the perishables. Time to hunker down.
This holiday is a big deal on the Wheel.
