The Real Meaning: A Time to Honor Change, Reflection, and Renewal

Halloween, long before costumes and candy, began as Samhain, the Celtic celebration marking the end of harvest and the beginning of winter — a sacred pause between seasons. It was a time when people honored the cycle of life, nature, and all that exists beyond what we can see.

But instead of focusing on fear or ghosts, the deeper meaning is beautifully human — a reminder that everything in life moves through seasons. The light fades, the air cools, and we’re invited to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with our inner world.

In my view, Halloween is not about horror or darkness, instead it’s about transformation. It’s a symbolic letting go of what no longer serves us, much like the trees release their leaves. It’s a moment to celebrate growth, honor our ancestors, and welcome new beginnings with gratitude and grace.

Just as the Celts gathered around warm fires, we too can gather in community — to share stories, light candles, and remind each other that every ending is simply the beginning of a new cycle.

So this Hallow een, rather than running from shadows, let’s dance with them. Let’s turn fear into faith, darkness into depth, and mystery into magic.

Because when we align with the rhythm of nature, we remember:

The seasons change, and so do we.

with love & light Regina
