Samhain, or also more recently known as Halloween, actually marks the Celtic New Year. We believe that we have to go into the darkness in order to come out into the light. When you look at the Celtic wheel, Samhain is that final spoke and then we move into the new year, like a fresh beginning. During this time of year, the veil between worlds is very thin and this facilitates connecting with our ancestors and healing our lineage to truly start fresh in the new year.
