Known also as Halloween, Samhain is the end of the harvest season and a
festival of endings and transformation. Occuring in late October and early
November, it marks the New Year for most Wiccan practitioners. Samhain
is a time for looking ahead to the new year,by letting go of the old. Since
ancient times, Samhain has been a time where Pagans pay their respects
to love ones, ancestors, and guides who have departed this world and are
now in the Spirit World. It is when the Goddess manifests as the Crone and
the God as the Horned Hunter and Lord of Death.
