Samhain, celebrated by many under the name Halloween, represents a climax in the Wheel of the Year, symbolizing both an ending and a renewal in the cycle of the seasons. This festival not only marks the end of the harvest, a time of gratitude and abundance, but it is also known for the thinning of the veil between the world of the living and that of the spirits. It is a time for reflection, remembrance, and celebration of the continuity of life and the beyond.
