There are four festivals, each with its opposite. Sowing and reaping, life and death; Imbolg and Lughnasadh, Bealtaine and Samhain.

Samhain eases us into the year's end, its slow death before the renewal of Imbolg. Both celebratory and solemn. Balance in all things.

Bealtaine is the other side of Samhain's coin. On both days, the veil is thin. But while Samhain is a celebration for the spirits, Bealtaine is a celebration for the living.

So, wherever you are, I hope you are celebrating and living to the fullest.

Erstmal gegoogelt 🤣
Samhain, altirisch: Samuin oder Samain, ist neben Imbolc, Beltane und Lughnasadh eines der vier großen irisch-keltischen Feste. Samhain wird am Vorabend des 1. November als Übergang von der Sonnenzeit zur Dunkelzeit, also als Übergang von der Sommer- zur Winterzeit, gefeiert.

What was ancient Samhain actually about? We don't know, but we can take a few guesses from a few early texts:
What is Samhain? What this holiday is and what it means to you depends on which time per- iod we’re talking about. What Samhain was versus what Samhain is now is a difficult question to answer, so let’s begin looking at the word Samhain itself. What this word means is up for much discussion, because while it is now synonymous with the end of the old Gaelic summer, it isn’t exactly clear why, especially when Lughnasadh is heralded as the beginning of autumn. Linguistically speaking, whilst some believe the Old Irish prefix sam- refers to summer, Samhain is the traditional beginning of winter, though the Old Irish word for “winter,” gamain according to Sanas Cormaic, was used to describe the month of November. According to Sir James Frazer, Samhain might have been referring to the end of the pastoral year, the time when herds come in and down from the mountainous pastures. Whilst some believe that the word Samhain is linked to the Gaulish holiday Samonios, there is no indication of what time of the year the Gaulish word is referring to. The most likely meaning of Samhain is some kind of assembly, from the proto-Celtic samoni, meaning “reunion,” but what kind of assembly is anybody’s guess. The Mound of the Hostages at the Hill of Tara is aligned with the Samhain sunrise, but there is no indication whether anyone gathered there at this time of the year. The Echtra Cormaic, or Cormaic’s Adventure, claims that a great feast was held on Samhain at Tara but only every seven years. One of my favourite stories about events that happened on Samhain is the medieval tale of Fionn and Aillen, in which Aillen, a giant otherworldly fire being, comes to attack Tara every Samhain. According to the legend, Aillen only stops burning Tara down with his blazing lasers when Fionn appears on Samhain to stop him

Here's why people have argued this to be true. Samhainwas one of the four early medieval (and likely ancient) Irish feasts of the year, alongside Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasadh. One of the quarter days, so called because each marked out 1/4th of the year.

Samhain – wenn die Grenzen der Zeit verschwimmen.

Wenn die #Kelten zu #Samhain glaubten, dass die Grenzen zwischen Welten durchlässig werden, sollten wir uns dann nicht fragen, ob unsere heutige Fixierung auf Messbarkeit uns blind macht für jene unsichtbaren Verbindungen, …

#Helloween
Samhain - wenn die Grenzen der Zeit verschwimmen. Wenn die Kelten am 31. Oktober zu Samhain den Übergang vom Sommerhalbjahr in die dunkle Jahreszeit begingen und die Grenze zwischen den Welten als durchlässig empfanden, wussten sie dann etwas über die Verbundenheit von Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft, das wir heute in unserer Fixierung auf Messbarkeit und Berechenbarkeit aus dem Blick verlieren? Und was nützt uns eine Gesellschaft, die immer mehr berechnen kann, aber immer weniger an Solidarität, Altruismus und gemeinsame Verantwortung glaubt - wenn am Ende nur noch das Ich zählt und wir vergessen, dass kein Mensch und kein System allein bestehen kann? Samhain [ˈsau̯nʲ][1] (neuirisch), altirisch: Samuin oder Samain ['saṽinʼ], ist neben Imbolc (1. Februar), Beltane (1. Mai) und Lughnasadh (1. August) eines der vier großen irisch-keltischen Feste. Samhain wird am Vorabend des 1. November als Übergang von der Sonnenzeit zur Dunkelzeit, also als Übergang von der Sommer- zur Winterzeit, gefeiert. Er wurde früher, wie der Monat samoni im Kalender von Coligny, als Beginn des keltischen Jahres gesehen. In den irischen Rechtstexten wird allerdings Beltane als Jahresanfang genannt. Das Fest heißt im Neu-Irischen Oíche Shamhna[2] und stellt möglicherweise die Herkunft des Festes dar, das im Englischen Halloween heißt[3] (siehe dort zur Diskussion um diese Herleitung). In Wales wurde das Fest Nos Calan gaeaf („Nacht des Winteranfangs“) genannt und war eine der teir nos ysprydnos („drei Geisternächte“). Die Ursprünge von Halloween Ein Fest keltischen Ursprungs: Samhain Die Christianisierung und Allerheiligen Vom irischen Brauch zum amerikanischen Fest Samhain in heutiger Spiritualität

One theory is that Crom is a chthonic deity who competes with the God Lugh Lamhfada for the Lughnasadh harvest. Another theory is that He is a completely different Celtic deity (perhaps even Lugh Himself) under a different name.

If you celebrate the sabbats, we roast for you. If you're just learning what Lughnasadh is, we roast for you too. The Wheel of the Year belongs to everyone who wants to pay attention to it.

Mini devlog: Designing Hedgewitch's Wheel, the part I cared about most was memory. The garden carries state from spring to harvest: what you sow at Ostara is what you lift at Lughnasadh, six sittings later, in your own words. A year should remember what you did to it - whether it's real or fantasy

Quand on parle de la Roue de l'Année en Wicca, on parle de huit sabbats : les quatre solstices et équinoxes, et quatre grandes fêtes intercalaires. Ces quatre fêtes intercalaires, Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane et Lughnasadh, sont les vraies fêtes celtiques originelles. Les solstices et équinoxes ont été ajoutés plus tard par la Wicca moderne pour créer une roue complète de huit sabbats également espacés.

Imbolc, Bealtaine, Litha, Lughnasadh and Samhain are IRISH holidays. You don’t get to make a new religion to celebrate them. I don’t even mind if you practice Irish paganism but stop giving it a new fucking name

Happy equinox by cracky

Usually I henna on cross quarters. The plan was to go progressively gray, and I was too ill to do my roots on Lughnasadh. I let it go, and now just skipping it. 😶

Wyrdlings!

With Mabon upon us this week, halfway between Lughnasadh and Samhain at the threshold of this year’s autumn, we give you:

“Mabon: A Harvest of Stories”

as our #WyrdWednesday topic. Come, sit and tell us harvest tales and speak of all things wyrd and wynderfully autumnal!

Lughnasadh is actually quite lovely - which I now realize is exactly the kind of thing someone would say if they’re hiding something about their harvest festival . . .

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 this week it's yellows and autumnal oranges. I am a big fan of knitting with gold and amber, witness the three shawls - one very old project, two more recent - an upcoming pattern release which is a rectangular wrap, and some very sunshiney handspun yarn yet to find its purpose!

Yes, I think you’re right. I don’t know about a permanent sabbat range, but I think a limited edition Lughnasadh or autumn equinox candle would be nice.
