My Samhain
As the Celtic New Year, I consider Samhain the most auspicious Sabbat for clearing old energies from my altar. I perform grounding on my altar once a year, at Samhain… I sweep the area with a besom made of Reed and create a circle of dried elderberries before my workings. I will be writing a feature on elderberries when I begin my Apothecary posts in the new year but at Samhain they are a potent accompaniment to my magicks.

After my workings I use the broom to sweep the elderberries out of circle and use them to make into my All Hallows Incense; this is an incense I will only burn on All Hallows Day to complete my Samhain rites. It hasn’t been included in this post as it is a personal blend and some things I keep private and sacred to my Book of Shadows.
