And the wheel turns and comes to a close. It is the witch’s new year this Samhain, the ancient Celtic pagan holiday that celebrates the thinning of the veil and the ability to more easily enter the astral plane where we find ourselves when we walk the Witch’s road.
To walk the Witch’s Road is a test of strength. Winter has arrived, the Darkness has fallen and we our tested in our magical strengths to endure the journey from Samhain to Yule to Imbolc. It is the trifecta of magical Sabbats. The original Big 3 of the magical community.
While the world celebrates Halloween, in Magick it is about the beginning of a new Wheel and a new Year, a journey to gather magical strength in the Dark of Winter and come out a new Witch in the Light of Summer.
I plan to celebrate this Samhain also celebrating Halloween by watching Halloween. I know it’s ordinary but no film quite sets the mood of the holiday than a film about the horrors waiting quietly in ordinary American life and the boogey man who comes out to show the world all of them.
I also plan to read book four of Harry Potter- my favorite one in the series and an annual Samhain Halloween treat.
For this Samhain to Imbolc 2025, I journey on the Witch’s Road to find more than healing this Wheel. I journey to find community and my coven. It’s something I’ve always wanted- just a few close friends who share in my Gothic passion for Magick, tarot and the world of the unseen.
