Samhain Ritual for the Solitary by Boudica
This is a day of remembrance, our New Year and the last harvest festival. With so much going on with one holiday, this simple ritual expresses it all. As always, I leave the decorating up to your own good taste, but this is a meal celebration. So the recipe for your favorite dishes will be the key to your enjoyment. Pick recipes that includes the harvest essentials; pumpkin, apples, and if you are a
meat eater include that as well. My own preference would be a hearty soup or stew, with plenty of fresh vegetables like potatoes, corn, onions, carrots, homemade bread and either fish or meat, depending on what I can find fresh at the market. Your own choices and lifestyle should be reflected in the dishes you prepare.

I'm Going to Be Myself For Samhain by Lupa
It’s Samhain, and that means it’s the best time for running
around in whatever crazy garb or costumery your heart (or twisted sense of
humor) desires! Most of us as little
kids dressed up as things like vampires, werewolves, ghosts—and maybe even
Halloween witches with green skin and pointy black hats. And a lot of us still dress up for the fun of
it, whether we stick with the classics or go off in philosophical, political or
other creative directions. And the best
thing is, if you happen to be running around in costume getting from point A to
point B at any point in October, nobody cares—at worst you’ll get “Cool
costume!”

Samhain: A Time for Introspection---and Activism by Morgan Ravenwood
As most of us know, Samhain is the best time of the year for
introspection, intuition, and divination. The ways we celebrate the completion
of the old year and the beginning of the new are as many and varied as we
ourselves. But considering the volume of both bad press and bad-mouthing that
inevitably accompany it, it is also a good time to do a little public education
about what Pagans believe in and practice, especially at this, our most sacred
and symbolic observation.

The Samhain Elemental Ritual by Taylor Ellwood
Traditionally, Samhain is considered to be the day when the
dead and living can mingle. The veils of the world are at their thinnest and
there is a sense of liminal space in the air. Liminal space is border space,
the in between place, where anything can happen. This flexibility time means
that contact with our ancestors is easier than during the rest of the year. A
lot of rituals I've attended for Samhain have involved remembrances of the
dead.
