First attested in the 16th century, the name Halloween comes from a Scottish shortening of All-Hallows Eve and has its roots in the Gaelic festival of Samhain. The barriers between the physical world and the spirit world break down during Samhain. The celebration symbolised the end of the summer months and the oncoming of winter as well as marking the harvest and preparations for the darker months ahead. What is more important in the connection to Halloween is that Samhuinn was believed to be a time when the borders between the Earth and the spirit-world were at their weakest and so those from the other side could cross through. Such spirits needed to be appeased to ensure the winter months would go well and stocks would last until the beginning of more favourable weather. This is a formidable time to communicate with our ancestors, give offerings to them and gather their wisdom. Here we'll discover our own wombcraft, magic that comes directly from our womb-knowledge. Rituals, potions. unguents, moon cycles, divination tools will be shared and discussed.
