Samhain is the ancient Gaelic festival of October 31 to November 1 marking the close of harvest and the start of winter, when the veil between the living and the departed is said to grow thin.
Why It Matters
Samhain is honored as the doorway between the light and dark halves of the year, a time to remember ancestors, release what has ended and listen for guidance from beyond. Many seekers build an ancestor altar, light candles and sit in quiet reflection. At Next Level Soul, we teach Samhain as a season of remembrance, release and renewal.
