SAMHAIN

The tradition of Samhain, celebrated from October 31 to November 1, marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It’s a time often associated with honoring the dead and the practice of divination, which can be harnessed to seek guidance or change in various aspects of life, including financial or professional realms. Below are some rituals that align with the themes of Samhain and the Full Moon, tailored to your specified intentions:

Full Moon Rituals:

The Full Moon is a powerful time for manifestation. Create a ritual space, light a green candle (for prosperity), and have a piece of paper with written intentions for your new job. Reflect on these intentions, then say them aloud, releasing them to the universe. Optionally, you could keep a crystal like citrine or aventurine with you, known for their abundance-attracting properties.
  • Ancestor Honoring:  Create an ancestor altar with photos, mementos, and favorite items of your deceased loved ones. Light candles and offer food, drinks or flowers, expressing your gratitude and love.
  • Divination:  Use tarot cards, runes, or other divination tools to gain insights into the coming months or seek answers to personal questions.
  • Meditation and Reflection:  Meditate under the full moon, reflecting on the past year, acknowledging your growth and the lessons learned.
  • Journaling:  Write down your experiences, dreams, and goals. Explore your feelings and desires, making plans for the future.
  • Fire Ceremony:  Have a bonfire or a simple fire ceremony to burn away old energies, fears, and obstacles, making way for new beginnings.
  • Nature Connection: Take a walk in nature, observing the changes in the season and grounding yourself in the natural world.
  • Ritual Baths: Take a ritual bath with herbs, essential oils, and crystals to cleanse and prepare for the energetic shift Samhain brings.
  • Dreamwork: Before sleep, set the intention to receive messages or guidance through your dreams. Keep a dream journal to record any significant dreams.
  • Crafting:  Create talismans, craft herbal blends, or make candles to harness the magical energies of Samhain and the full moon.
  • Sound Healing: Use sound through singing bowls, drums, or chanting to raise energy, cleanse spaces, and align your vibrations with your intentions.

Letting Go Ritual:

During Samhain, it’s customary to release that which no longer serves you, making space for new beginnings. A simple ritual could involve writing down what you want to let go of, and safely burning the paper as a symbolic release.

Home Blessing Ritual:

To bless and protect your new home during the Samhain season, gather the following items: petals from 12 white or antique roses, a stick of copal incense, a lighter or matches, and a dish. During Samhain season (October 1st-31st), assemble these near your altar or another suitable location. Invoke the Divine, expressing your desires for your home. Move clockwise around your home, scattering rose petals across doorways and windowpanes, then do the same with the incense smoke. Finish by expressing gratitude and visualizing a protective sphere of golden-white light surrounding your home.

New Home Manifestation Ritual:

This ritual is a blend of symbolic action, intention setting, and visualization, which are believed to help align your energies with your desires. The practical action is a crucial step to bring your intentions into reality. By marrying the spiritual ritual with practical action, you create a holistic approach towards manifesting your new home.
  • Preparation – Choose a time during the Samhain season (October 1st-31st) preferably on a Full Moon night.  Gather your materials: a candle (preferably green or white for prosperity and new beginnings), a piece of paper and a pen, a small box, and some herbs like basil or rosemary for prosperity and protection.
  • Setting the Space – Create a clean, quiet, and comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.  Light the candle and sit quietly for a few moments, grounding yourself and clearing your mind.
  • Intention Setting – Write down on the paper all the qualities you desire in your new home. Be as specific as you can – mention the location, type, size, surroundings, and anything else that’s important to you.
  • Visualization and Energy Work – Close your eyes and visualize your new home. See yourself living happily and comfortably there.  Feel the emotions as if you have already found this home. Embrace the feelings of gratitude, joy, and contentment.
  • Seal Your Intentions – Fold the paper with your written desires and place it in the small box along with the herbs.  Say a small prayer or affirmation, expressing your gratitude to the universe for helping you find your new home.
  • Closing the Ritual – Extinguish the candle, and keep the box in a safe and special place until you find your new home.  Once you find your new home, you can open the box, read your intentions, and see how they have manifested. Optionally, you can bury the box near your new home as a token of gratitude to the earth.
  • Practical Action – Alongside the ritual, take practical steps like searching for listings, contacting real estate agents, and visiting potential homes.

Nature Walk Ritual:

Taking a meditative nature walk is another tradition. As you walk, reflect on your personal and professional goals, contemplating the changes in nature as a metaphor for the transitions you wish to see in your life.

Full Moon Ritual for Employment

The Full Moon is a powerful time for manifestation. Create a ritual space, light a green candle (for prosperity), and have a piece of paper with written intentions for your new job. Reflect on these intentions, then say them aloud, releasing them to the universe. Optionally, you could keep a crystal like citrine or aventurine with you, known for their abundance-attracting properties.
