Beneath The Veil: A Samhain Retreat

For a while I have been dreaming in a ceremony for Samhain (the time around Halloween and the Day of the Dead) It is for the Northern European Indigenous traditions, a time when the visible and the invisible co-mingle and the portal of death and life is revered and honored.

I am offering this gathering so that we may journey together into the ancient roots of this festival. Samhain is a part of the eight-quarter festivals that correspond to the cycle of the sun and moon honoured and celebrated throughout Western Europe. The origins are deeper than trick-or-treat, costumes, masks, and general revelry.
