Description
For the Celtic people, Samhain marked the beginning of the cold season. This used to be the time when cattle were slaughtered, and the final harvest harvested before the inevitable plunge into the depths of winter darkness. Fires were lit to assist wandering spirits on their way, and offerings were made in the name of the gods and ancestors. On Samhain–Halloween’s arcane origin–the veil between the world of the dead and the world of the living is thinner than ever. It’s time to honor our ancestors, wind down, and get ready for the months of introspection that lie ahead. A comprehensive introduction to Samhain, this engaging book includes rituals, recipes, traditions, and incantations. During its pages you’re going to find spells, divination exercises, crafts, invocations, prayers and a lot more! Valuable practical information for the brand new celebration of the last festivity of the Wheel of the Year. The books that make up the Sabbats collection provide instructions and inspiration for celebrating each and every of the major milestones of the neopagan calendar: the Wheel of the Year. Made up of eight volumes, this collection invites us to the yearly journey of nature through the seasons, allows us to tune into the energy cycles of the earth, and lets us listen to what it whispers to us.
