The season of winter begins at Samhain, the Celtic New Year, on the eve of November. Samhain means “the summer’s end”. Of all the Celtic festivals, this is the one where we deeply experience the overlap of one world with another. It is a time to peacefully assemble, put our affairs in order and align ourselves with blessings and opportunities of this darker half of the year.
