Samhain lands on October 31 and is often treated as the witchcraft new year, a threshold for ancestor work, endings, protection, and divination.
What Samhain Celebrates
This sabbat invites honest reflection on what has ended, who came before, and what needs stronger boundaries as the dark half of the year deepens.
Simple Ritual Ideas
- Light a candle for remembered loved ones or spiritual ancestors.
- Pull a tarot card for what must be released before winter.
- Refresh home protection with salt, rosemary, or a written charm.
Herbs, Crystals, and Symbols
Use rosemary, mugwort, apples, black salt, obsidian, smoky quartz, candles, keys, veils, and black, purple, or bone-white colors.
Seasonal Recipe Work
Soul cakes, spiced apple cider, roasted squash, or an ancestor plate can become the center of Samhain kitchen craft.
