Samhain is celebrated on October 31. To many Pagans, it is considered the New Year, a time that acknowledges cycles coming to an end. The harvest has been gathered, the days have become noticeably shorter, the nights cooler. It is a time when life gives way to death, when growth gives way to decay. It cannot be avoided; it is an essential part of the cycle. Samhain is about recognizing that inevitability.

Summer’s harvest is lapsing into the stillness and decline of Winter. It is thought that at Samhain the spirits of the dead can reach out and communicate with the living.

What is a typical Samhain ritual like for a modern-day witch? “Sacred space” is created with salt water, incense, and other spiritual items. The deities (perhaps goddess of the moon or Earth, god of the harvest) are called upon and invited to join the rite. Time is often devoted to remembering ancestors or loved ones who have died, perhaps through a silent, candle lit vigil. Generally Samhain ceremonies are solemn and contemplative.

Today witches enjoy both the formal, spiritual holiday of Samhain along with the fun and playful aspects of Halloween. While we work to dispel the negative stereotypes of the “evil old witch,” most witches do not take the Halloween witch too seriously and are willing to indulge in the playfulness of the image.

Welcome! If you're a Pagan seeking information and/or community, you've come to the right place! Hedge Meadow is not a coven. We're a small group of Pagans who want to connect with like-minded folks, share knowledge, and occasionally offer rituals, workshops, and other events. Meeting other Pagans can be tough sometimes. Sorting through all the information about witchcraft, Paganism, and magic can be daunting. We hope to make your search a little easier.

We don't have a brick-and-mortar location. We don't have "office hours." We have families, commitments, and busy lives. But we'll try to help as best we can.

Again welcome, and Blessed Be.
