SAMHAIN/WITCHES’ NEW YEAR
The interval from October 31-November 2 encompassed the celebrations of Samhain, All Hallow’s Eve, Halloween, Dia de Los Muertos, and extra. These holidays all happen on the approximate midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice, which within the Pagan Wheel of the 12 months, marks the important starting of winter within the Northern Hemisphere.
It’s presently, and on the instances that the opposite seven ‘spokes’ on the Wheel of the 12 months, that it’s mentioned that the veils are skinny. The veils are identified to be the thinnest, nevertheless, presently, as Samhain represents the Witches’ New 12 months—a ‘zero-point’ portal that represents the simultaneous closing of previous cycles, and the welcoming in of the brand new.
Here’s a temporary abstract of the historical past and necessities of those holidays:
“Samhain (pronounced Sow-an) has its roots as a Gaelic pageant celebrating the tip of harvest season and the start of winter. It was celebrated on November 1, although the festivities historically started the night time earlier than. The Celtics would maintain an enormous bonfire in hopes of successful favor of the gods for a bountiful harvest the subsequent 12 months; they usually believed it was a time when the veils thinned and the ‘regular order of the Universe (was) suspended’ (Samhain Wikipedia).
“Like Beltane, Samhain was a liminal or threshold pageant, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld thinned, that means the Aos Sí (the ‘spirits’ or ‘fairies’) may extra simply come into the world. Most students see the Aos Sí as remnants of pagan gods. At Samhain, they have been appeased with choices of foods and drinks, to make sure the folks and their livestock survived the winter. The souls of lifeless kin have been additionally thought to revisit their houses looking for hospitality, and a spot was set on the desk for them throughout a Samhain meal. Mumming and guising have been a part of the pageant from at the very least the early fashionable period, whereby folks went door-to-door in costume reciting verses in trade for meals. The costumes could have been a method of imitating, and disguising oneself from, the Aos Sí. Divination was additionally a giant a part of the pageant and infrequently concerned nuts and apples. Within the late nineteenth century John Rhys and James Frazer prompt it was the ‘Celtic New 12 months’ however that’s disputed (Samhain Wikipedia).
“In line with Irish mythology, Samhain (like Beltane) was a time when the ‘doorways’ to the Otherworld opened, permitting supernatural beings and the souls of the lifeless to return into our world; whereas Beltane was a summer time pageant for the dwelling, Samhain ‘was primarily a pageant for the lifeless’ (Samhain Wikipedia).
“In 609, Pope Boniface IV endorsed 13 Might as a Catholic holy day commemorating all Christian martyrs. J. Hennig argues that by 800, there may be proof that church buildings in Eire, Northumbria (England) and Bavaria (Germany) have been holding a feast commemorating all saints on 1 November, which turned All Saints’ Day. Alcuin of Northumbria counseled his buddy Arno of Salzburg, Bavaria for holding the feast on this date. James Frazer suggests this date was a Celtic thought (being the date of Samhain), whereas Ronald Hutton suggests it was a Germanic thought, writing that the Irish church commemorated all saints on 20 April. Some manuscripts of the Irish Martyrology of Tallaght and Martyrology of Óengus, which date to this time, have a commemoration of all saints ‘of Europe’ on 20 April, however a commemoration of all saints of the world on 1 November. Some have prompt that Alcuin may have used his affect with Charlemagne to introduce an Irish-Northumbrian Feast of All Saints to the Frankish Empire. In 835, the 1 November date was formally adopted within the Frankish Empire, on the behest of Pope Gregory IV… (Samhain Wikipedia.)
“Within the eleventh century, 2 November turned established as All Souls’ Day. This created the three-day observance referred to as Allhallowtide: All Hallows’ Eve (31 October), All Hallows’ Day (1 November), and All Souls’ Day (2 November)… (Samhain Wikipedia.)
“It’s extensively believed that most of the fashionable secular customs of All Hallows’ Eve (Halloween) have been influenced by the pageant of Samhain. Different students argue that Samhain’s affect has been exaggerated, and that All Hallows’ additionally influenced Samhain itself…. (Samhain Wikipedia.)
“The Day of the Lifeless (Spanish: Día de Muertos or Día de los Muertos) is a vacation celebrated from thirty first October by means of 2nd of November inclusive, although different days, resembling sixth November, could also be included relying on the locality. It originated, partially, in Mexico, the place it’s principally noticed, but additionally elsewhere, particularly by folks of Mexican heritage elsewhere. Though related to the Western Christian Allhallowtide observances of All Hallow’s Eve, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day, it has a a lot much less solemn tone and is portrayed as a vacation of festivity slightly than mourning. The multi-day vacation entails household and pals gathering to pay respects and to recollect family and friends members who’ve died. These celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants keep in mind humorous occasions and anecdotes in regards to the departed (Day of the Lifeless Wikipedia.)
“Traditions related with the vacation embrace honoring the deceased utilizing calaveras and Aztec marigold flowers referred to as cempazúchitl, constructing dwelling altars known as ofrendas with the favourite meals and drinks of the departed, and visiting graves with these things as presents for the deceased.

Marking the midpoint between the equinox and solstice, the three day interval inclusive of the ultimate day of October and the primary two days of November actually does characterize the earnest starting of winter in lots of elements of the U.S., Canada and Europe. It’s metaphorically a time after we join with the Spirit World to assemble steering about what’s in our path for the lengthy winter months forward.

The signal of Scorpio holds a particular place in my Coronary heart. As somebody with a Scorpio solar and a predominantly Scorpio chart, it’s my favourite signal. I really like the depth, the eagerness, and the life-or-death feeling of depth that Scorpio represents. And this 12 months’s Scorpio New Moon occurred shortly after my birthday!

Thus is Scorpio: it’s all about letting go of what’s dying or lifeless, so as to permit for brand spanking new development to happen.
Scorpio is the fastened water signal, the eighth signal of the Zodiac, and the ruler of the Eighth Home—the Home of Intercourse. This home guidelines over intercourse, taboos, dying, taxes, and wills/legacies. It’s dominated by Pluto, the planet of dying, destruction and transformation. As a set signal, it’s cussed and dependable. As a water signal, it’s deeply emotional.
Scorpio suns (like myself) are identified for having an aura and intrigue about them (this could additionally apply to Scorpio Risings). Scorpio suns, moons, and Risings are usually naturally psychic and intuitive. If you’re shut with any Scorpio suns in your life, you most likely already know that they don’t let many individuals get very near them. Scorpios can usually be secretive, and typically even paranoid about letting others know an excessive amount of about them.
Scorpio is after all related to the scorpion. Its glyph is an ‘M’ with the tail pointed outward, like a scorpion’s stinger. The ‘M’s tail can also be a phallic image. Scorpio guidelines over the genitals and intercourse usually–however particularly the facets of intercourse that should do with energy exchanges, taboos, and deeply-rooted psychological facets (aka Freudian psychology). Scorpio suns, Risings, Venuses, and Mars’s are typically very sexual folks.
