Dear friends,
Samhain is a three day festival taking place on 1st-3rd of the month of Samhain, corresponding to 5th to 7th. May. It is a fire festival, fire being the element of transformation and purgation. The meaning of the festival is transformation, of which death is the most important form, and which often leads to purgation of the soul. The souls of the dead are made welcome at the Rite of this day. The festival is celebrated with bonfires and fireworks, and the games of the festival are duck apple and snap apple. The apple, as the symbol; of eternal life, is an important symbol of the festival. Seasonal foods are baked and toffee apple, cider, baked potatoes, parkin and popped corn.
May She be with you,
David.
