Traditionally, Samhain is the ending of the Pagan and Wiccan year. During this time the final harvests have been brought in and preparations for winter have been made. It is the day when the veils between the realms are the thinnest. Communication between dead loved ones or earth spirits are easiest this time of year. It is the time for honoring your ancestors and making amends with those who have crossed over. Many Wiccans and Pagans believe it is the most important day of the year as it is not only a time of honoring our ancestors, but is an accounting of our actions.

With the veils between realms thinned, the dead and earth spirits are able to walk freely among the living. Ritually, spirits are invited to attend festivals in their honor. Banquets are prepared with the choicest meats and vegetables being set aside for those who have crossed over. Frequently these meals are silent as each participant remembers their loved one and looks for signs of their presence. The food on the spirits’ plates remains uneaten – instead, after the dinner the ritual continues as the food is offered up outside and left behind. Deities, earth spirits and elementals are also petitioned for protection and for boons. Calls are more easily heard and answered during this time.

Many of the Halloween traditions come from the fear of spirits. The masks were designed to disguise identities and to scare away evil spirits. Trick or Treating represents the offerings left out to honor the ancestors and tithes to the deities. Christians created All Saints Day on November 1 as a way to counter act the popularity of the Samhain festival. This is a great time of year to communicate with the after life – if you need help, ask your favorite psychic at www.PowerfulPsychics.com.
