Description Samhain

Samhain is the name of a Celtic holiday, celebrated on the night of October 31 to November 1. Foggy mornings occur and the arrival of winter cannot be achieved. Nature goes to hibernation. A time to resolve your relationship with the dead. It is necessary to remember, to mock, but to let them go back. Samhain therefore became the feast of the realm of the dead - or the feast of spirits.
The last day of October ends the period of abundance. The time of frosts and a kind of inconvenience is coming. Nature seems to be dying. It is also difficult to tell what is alive and what is dead. The curtain of secrets rises and the living and the living unite. The goddess Hekate, a wise grandmother who rules the underworld, rises to the surface of the earth to reveal her secrets to us. In line, she is followed by those who have long mourned and are bringing us their messages. The time of death took over. However, he is not sad or scary. It brings wisdom, comfort, faith and strength for the rest of life, because it is infinite. The wheel of the year begins to spin again ... During the period of samhain (Christian souls), we visit cemeteries, light candles on the graves of our loved ones or even at home (on a window or when photographing a loved one). At this time, candles have a different function than just aesthetics. They serve as a symbol of gratitude and a show of respect for death, as "street lamps" on the way to you and back again, their flame can be mediated by gentle communication with the "other side". '
