Crafting a Samhain Ritual


Samhain is just over a week away and if you are a serial procrastinator like me, you might not have your ritual ready yet. If that is the case, have no fear, because I have a few ideas to get you thinking about the holiday and what you can include in your ritual to celebrate.

When you start thinking about Samhain, there are a few themes you might want to consider hitting in your ritual: remembering the dead, goal setting, and divination

First, Samhain is considered to be the day when the veil between this world and the spirit world is the thinnest, so it is the perfect time to honor our loved ones and relatives who have passed on. Add something to honor them in your ritual, like an offering of food and drink.

Second, Samhain is the Witches New Year, so setting goals and intentions for the next year would be appropriate. Make a vision board or even a simple list of goals that you can refer to for the rest of year.

Third, like I previously mentioned, Samhain is the day when we are more connected to the spirit world. Because of this, it would be great to incorporate some divination into your ritual. Whatever tool you prefer, do a reading for yourself, just don't forget to write it down and any impressions you get from the reading.

Of course, these are just a few ideas to get you started. There are countless ways to celebrate Samhain, and what is important is that whatever you end up doing feels right to you. It doesn't have to be showy or elaborate - unless you want it to be.

What are your Samhain plans?
