OCTOBER 31

October 31 is referred to as Samhain, Ancestor’s Eve, All Hallows Eve, and the list goes on. 

Samhaim or Samhuinn is translated to Summer’s end.  It is a time to harvest and to dry our herbs.  The available daylight is rapidly decreasing and winter approaches.

For some, it is the celebration of the Wiccan New Year.   For others, it is a time to celebrate and honour our ancestors.  Yet for others, it is a time to reflect on that and who we have lost but to then celebrate all that we have gained including our harvest.

This is one of the most sacred Pagan holidays of the year and is considered a holy day.

In honour of our ancestors and those that have passed over, obsidian or onyx would be a wonderful choice for grounding and to help us deal with our grief.

In honour of the celebration, clear quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, smokey quartz, etc. are perfect stones to raise our vibration or energies. 

It is a time to celebrate….a time to celebrate the past, present and future.  You may want to incorporate:

-Carnelian for courage and to enhance your creativity,

-Citrine, Amber or Sunstone to include the sun in your celebration (for we now notice its loss),

-Moonstone to include the moon which reflects our emotions,

-Amethyst to raise our intuition and awareness

-Clear crystal quartz as an amplifier for all.  

These crystals would be perfect to use in the creation of a celebratory mandala (a reminder of the Divine and that life is eternal).
