Pronounced ‘SAH-win’ or ‘SOW-in’, the ancient pagan festival is upon us. This time of change, the Celtic New Year, is when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead fades. When the old year’s flame is extinguished to welcome a new season with ceremonial fire. Samhain is found in Irish literature as early as the 9th century and is connected with many important stories in Irish mythology.
