Halloween is a bit like the New Year for witches — a sacred time that speaks deeply to those walking a spiritual path.
This week, I’m taking you beyond the pumpkins and masks to explore the ancient Celtic celebration of Samhain, the festival that marked the end of harvest season and the passage into the dark half of the year.
In this bonus episode of Mystical & Practical, we journey to the spiritual origins of Halloween.
Together, we’ll explore its powerful symbols — from witches to black cats, werewolves to ghosts — and uncover what they reveal about our connection to the unseen.
You’ll discover...
• The true Celtic origins of Halloween and the sabbat of Samhain
• Why pumpkins replaced turnips
• The hidden symbolism behind masks and costumes• The “witch wound” and its karmic healing
• The spiritual meaning of black cats, ghosts, and werewolves
• What death and rebirth teach your soul
