Samhain

Samhain blessings

The moon will be transiting scorpio from about midday on Thursday through Saturday eve. It will be “void of course” in the middle of Saturday night for a short time. The moon will be dark and then new early Friday.

Coinciding with the dark moon this Friday Nov 1, the next few days are an especially potent time for a home ritual. Samhain (aka Halloween or All Hallows) is the halfway point between fall equinox and winter solstice.

Lunar Samhain is traditionally the dark moon closest to the halfway point between fall equinox and winter solstice.

The dark moon spans 3 days when the moon is not visible, so you could celebrate this Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

Samhain ushers in the dark time of the year, when like the plants, you’re naturally pulled down to your roots—to draw inward and rest.

Many cultures consider this to be the time of the year when the veils between the worlds are thin. So it’s a powerful time to connect with your beloved dead and ancestors.

It can also be a time of letting go—perhaps an old way of being, or your experiences over the past year.In whatever way you choose honor Samhain this year, this seasonal marker is a powerful opportunity for healing.
