DISCLAIMER: REMEMBER, MAGICK IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN BUY. WICKED HOUSE ONLY SELLS THE MEANS, YOU MUST CREATE THE MAGICK WITHIN YOURSELF. Possibly the biggest festival of the Witches’ year, Samhain is a time to remember those who have passed on, celebrate the Summers end and prepare for Winter months ahead. The Sun God and earth fall into slumber, as the nights lengthen and winter begins. Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means "End of Summer", and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat. It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st.It is one of the two "spirit-nights" each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands. It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort. Tradition also teaches that the aid of spirits and guides from the other world was easily enlisted at this time, so in the increasing moonlight of longer nights, many used this time to hone their psychic and divinatory skills, especially with regard to love and marriage. Originally known as the "Feast of the Dead" this sabbat was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the "wandering dead".Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos. The Wee Folke became very active, pulling pranks on unsuspecting humans. Traveling after dark was was not advised. People dressed in white (like ghosts), wore disguises made of straw, or dressed as the opposite gender in order to fool the Nature spirits. Burning Incense is an ancient way of gaining access to the soul and of plants for spiritual, ceremonial and magic use. Incense means "smoke, or smoke offering." When cooperating with the innermost nature of plants, wise women and men have come to know that certain types of plants carry certain definite qualities and have a certain effect when used in incense. Smoke from some plants purify and cleanses spiritually. Other plants will invoke spirits and healing powers. Others will carry your prayer further into the universe. Some are good for calling balance and harmony. Our Sabbat Incense are MADE FRESH ALL YEAR LONG to accommodate every Witches Wheel.
