When I imagine the women who came before us, living here in Cornwall in the autumn of 1600, I don’t just picture the witch in the woods. I think of the woman tending her hearth, gathering herbs from the garden, baking bread, watching the weather and keeping the stories of her family alive. Her knowledge might have been passed down through generations, woven into the ordinary things she did each day. We can’t know exactly how every woman marked this time of year, but we do know that the changing seasons, the dead and the spiritual world were part of the lives of our ancestors. I think there is something lovely in bringing a little of that spirit into our own Samhain.
Just a moment to remember the women who came before us and the wisdom they carried. This Samhain, I’ll be thinking about my own mother, the women in my family and all the ways their magic continues to live through me.
What will you be doing to celebrate Samhain this year?
