Other Names: All Hallows eve, All Souls, Halloween
Date: October 31
most important festival in the Witches’ calendar, beginning and end of the Witches’ year, time when the Goddess takes on her robes of Crone and the God rides out of the Wild Hunt to collect the souls of the dead
Marks the start of the resting season for the land.
It is a time when the veil between the worlds of life and death is at its thinnest, a time for remembering the dead, and a time for scrying.
three main themes:
Goddess takes on the role of Wise One - practise divination and scrying to seek wisdom.
God leads out the Wild Hunt - face challenge and make a personal sacrifice if we fail
end of the old year, the beginning of the new and a time when the veil between the worlds is thin, so we light a candle and set a place at the feast to welcome those we have loved who have gone before.
