Samhain is the ancient Celtic word for summer's end, and is also the third and final harvest holiday in the Witches' Wheel of the Year. You may know this holiday as Halloween. Whatever you call it, this is the time of year when the veils are thin and spirits are said to walk the earth. Find out what this holiday means for contemporary witches and learn about what you can do to celebrate it at home with our special guest, writer and tarot reader, Jessica Jernigan, author of "A Postmodern Witches' Guide to Halloween."

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST JESSICA JERNIGAN

Jessica Jernigan has been working with books for more than twenty years—as a bookseller,  a marketing professional, a copywriter, an editor, and a reviewer. She has also been working with Tarot since she acquired the Aquarian deck in 1984. She find Tarot to be a useful tool for meditation. What she finds, more than anything, is that Tarot cards take us outside the everyday chatter in our heads and encourage us to look at ourselves, our lives, and our worlds in new ways. Tarot has enriched her life, and she truly enjoys sharing Tarot with others. 

Follow her on Instagram:  @postmodernwitch - and visit postmodernwitch.com  to purchase her zine, "A Postmodern Witch’s Guide to Samhain".
