Samhain is a white harvest, where our ancestors harvested fat, hides and fleeces which were essential to see them through the cold Winter ahead. It was a time to celebrate and remember those who had died.

The Goddess is both Mother and Crone. She is pregnant with the God, and the Wise Hag. She rules the Otherworld where Her God rests between incarnations.

Things generally associated with Samhain: candles, cauldron, pumpkins, the Goddess as Crone, divination, death and reincarnation, and the colors black, orange and purple.

It is the end of the Resting Tide and the beginning of the Cleansing Tide.
