While there are many ways to celebrate this holiday, I want to share four of the ways I like to celebrate Samhain. I hope this video inspires you to bring a little extra magic into your own Samhain celebration.

1. Make a Seasonal Meal

  • Samhain is typically celebrated by preparing a dinner to recognize the harvest.

  • The holiday is meant to be shared with those who have passed on as well as those still with us. So, I like to set a place at the table for those in the spiritual plane.

2. Take a Samhain Nature Walk

  • For me Paganism is all about staying connected to nature and the cycle of the seasons. Talking a nature walk during Samhain allows you to observe and contemplate the colors, aromas, sounds, and other sensations of the season.

3. Set up a Samhain Altar

  • On my altar I like to include various objects such as harvest foods, Memento Mori, representations of Deities associated with the afterlife, and an offering for those that have passed on.

4. Visit a Cemetery & Leave an Offering

  • To me the most important part of Samhain is talking the time to honor and remember those that have passed on. I like to take a walk to my local cemetery and leave a few flowers on gravestones that might need a little extra love and attention.

These are just 4 ways that I like to celebrate Samhain and Iā€™d love to hear from you how you like to celebrate this holiday. Comment below what your plans are for Samhain this year. šŸŽƒ
