      Samhain Traditions - Penniless Pagan

      Dear Readers,

      When the night begins to stalk the day, stealing away sunlight for the solace of darkness, and the warmth of the summer disappears beneath the chilled exhale of fall, witchcraft comes calling, beckoning its practitioners to turn inward, to reflect, to conjure. As our energy heightens, drawing upon the thinned veil and the spirits that await, magick all but demands to be cast, a proverbial feast for the Pagans.

      If I’m being totally honest, the excitement of writing a spell book for the most honored and revered Sabbat was often met with trepidation during the creative process. And I *occasionally* spent my afternoon typing, deleting, and typing some more, all the while chewing on pen caps and my fingernails.

      I’m very ladylike that way.

      Honoring the most beloved and celebrated Sabbat was a touch daunting! I wanted to provide you with meaningful ritual while maintaining the fun, lighthearted aspects of the Halloween we’ve come to embrace as modern-day witches. After all, life is about balance, and I deeply believe the best way to celebrate our departed loved ones is to rejoice, frolic, and make merry. In other words, to embrace life!

      I hope you’ll enjoy the blend of spells and rituals you’ll find in the following pages. It was with a lot of heart, a touch of apprehension, and several gallons of tea that I crafted these spells and rituals specifically for you, the readers! I hope they meet—nay, exceed!—your expectations. It is with great gratitude and humility that I thank you— for your e-mails, your comments, your enthusiasm, and especially for your purchase, which helps keep PennilessPagan.com alive and brimming with free content. Without you, my writing would merely be an amassing collection of Word documents hidden away on a hard drive. So, thank you for your support!

      Now sit back, dig into that Halloween candy you stashed in the back of the closet which has very little chance of making it to October 31st, and let’s make some magick!

      Happy Casting,

      Michaela

      Grab a Pumpkin, It’s Samhain!

      Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is easily the most cherished Sabbat among Pagans, and for good reason! It’s a wonderful multi-dimensional Sabbat that encompasses tradition and celebration, fanciful modern-day festivities and ancient lore. It’s a time when Pagans can both honor their spirituality and embrace the lighthearted splendor of a macabre, enjoyably-frightening holiday.

      Beliefs and Customs

      Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain is the proverbial death of the God (represented by the sun), who will be reborn on Yule, the Winter Solstice. This Sabbat serves as a reminder that death is part of life, a promise given upon birth, and teaches us that death is not a permanent ending but rather a transformation of the soul to a plane beyond our own physical reality. Just as the God will be reborn on Yule, a spirit’s journey does not cease after physical death. Samhain is also the Sabbat to honor those who have transcended before us, to remember the time we shared together in this physical realm.

      The veil between our world and the spiritual plane beyond is at its thinnest during Samhain and the days leading up to Samhain. As the two worlds begin to nearly overlap, energy is heightened and communication with departed spirits becomes easier. You may notice signs from your loved ones. Honor these gifts of love! You are not imagining these symbols, which can be as simple as a feather, a special rock, seeing a sacred animal, or even a rarely-played song popping up on the radio. Divination will also be easier on Samhain, so tarot cards, runes, and scrying are often practiced around this time to take a peek into the coming year.

      Because Samhain is honored as the death of the God and thus the end of a cycle, Samhain is often referred to as the Witches’ New Year. Unlike the traditional New Year of modern era, now is not a time to set new goals but to instead reflect on the year past, to address our often uncomfortable feelings regarding death, and to honor the lives of deceased loved ones.

      As autumn deepens and nature wans into winter, we see the Goddess herself taking on the role of the Crone—aging, no longer in her fruitful peak, yet rich with wisdom, insight, and reflection. Despite societal views on aging, the Crone is a cycle worthy of deep respect, as those in this stage of life have a wealth of experience and insight to share with younger generations.

      The Colors of Samhain

      Nature has a way of revealing itself, and this remains true among the colors of Samhain. Simply look outside for the appropriate hues of this beloved Sabbat. Orange, crimson, and deep yellow are abundant in the autumnal trees, painting the landscape with rich fall beauty. Black and brown, symbolizing death and the return to the earth, are also colors of the season. Use this palette to decorate your home and altar. And as always, feel free to walk among nature and let her dictate your altar reapings. Leaves, twigs, acorns, and nuts are all welcomed offerings on a harvest altar!

      Foods for Feasting

      Celebrated in the season of harvest, Samhain is a delicious Sabbat! Autumnal vegetables such as pumpkins, squash, and corn are recommended for your feast or altar, as are root vegetables, like potatoes and parsnips. Apples, pears, and even pomegranates are welcomed incorporations into your Sabbat meal.

      Magick can be easily
