Samhain, translated to "summer's end", is a Gaelic festival on November 1st, marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year. Celebrations begin on the evening of 31 October, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset.
 
Ancient Celts marked Samhain as the most significant of the four quarterly fire festivals, taking place at the midpoint between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. During this time of year, hearth fires in family homes were left to burn out while the harvest was gathered.
 
This also marks the end of the Celtic year.
 
This is a time when the veil between us and the spirit world is the thinnest, and there are many traditions and superstitions surrounding this day.
 
Celebrated with bonfires and feasts, you would wear masks and costumes so the spirits wouldn't be able to find you and do you harm or steal you away!
 
You would put out an extra plate of food at meal time to honour ancestors who are no longer with us.
 
Howlite gemstone for decoration only. Remove before use.
