On Monday, November 9, 2026, we will have the eleventh new moon
(also called dark moon) after the last winter solstice. The ancient Celts celebrated a very important festival at this time of year, which was called Samhain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it is not exactly known whether the ancestors celebrated the festival of Samhain at full moon or at new moon. The sources provide very different information in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Samhain was the New Year’s Eve of the Celts.
Our pre-Christian ancestors did not divide the year into four seasons, as is done today.
The year was divided into a year-night and a year-day. Thus, the year began with the start of the year-night, at Samhain. The joyful May festival Beltane, which represents the beginning of the year-day, stands diametrically opposed to Samhain in the seasonal cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Samhain, the end of the harvest season is reached. This is another important meaning of this seasonal festival.
The harvest season begins with Lugnasad. Mabon marks the middle of the harvest season. Samhain is therefore the third and last of three harvest festivals in the seasonal cycle. From this point on, no herbs, fruits, vegetables, berries, or roots should be harvested anymore. The fruits of Mother Earth belong to the earth and nature spirits from Samhain onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Samhain, the ancestors and forebears have been honored since ancient times. It is thus a traditional ancestor festival that marks both the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the coming winter.
According to Celtic belief, the gate to the Otherworld opens at Samhain. The veils between this world and the next, the boundaries between the world of the living and the realm of the dead are particularly thin at this time, allowing one to be very close to one’s preceding ancestors. Symbolically, it stands for the farewell to what was, in order to look into the future without burdens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look forward to an inspiring show about the current quality of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

die Hintergr\u00fcnde, Traditionen und Rituale zu diesem Jahreskreisfest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(oder auch Dunkelmond genannt) nach der letzten Wintersonnenwende. Bei den alten Kelten wurde um diese Zeit ein sehr wichtiges Fest im Jahreskreis gefeiert, welches Samhain genannt wurde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unsere vorchristlichen Ahnen teilten das Jahr nicht in vier Jahreszeiten, wie dies heutzutage geschieht.
Das Jahr wurde in eine Jahresnacht und in einen Jahrestag geteilt. Das Jahr begann also mit Anfang der Jahresnacht, zu Samhain.Das lustvolle Maifest Beltane, welches den Beginn des Jahrestages darstellt, steht Samhain im Jahreskreis diametral gegen\u00fcber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Erntezeit beginnt mit Lugnasad. Mabon markiert die Mitte der Erntezeit. Samhain ist also das dritte und letzte von drei Erntefesten im Jahreskreis. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt sollen keine Kr\u00e4uter, kein Obst, kein Gem\u00fcse, keine Beeren und keine Wurzeln mehr geerntet werden. Die Fr\u00fcchte der Mutter Erde geh\u00f6ren ab Samhain den Erd- und Naturgeistern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nach keltischem Glauben \u00f6ffnet sich zu Samhain das Tor zur Anderswelt. Die Schleier zwischen dem Diesseits und dem Jenseits, die Grenzen zwischen der Welt der Lebenden und dem Reich der Toten sind in dieser Zeit besonders d\u00fcnn, sodass man seinen vorausgegangenen Ahnen sehr nah sein kann. Symbolisch steht es f\u00fcr den Abschied von dem was war, um ohne Ballast in die Zukunft blicken zu k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

los antecedentes, tradiciones y rituales de esta festividad del ciclo anual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(tambi\u00e9n llamada luna oscura) despu\u00e9s del \u00faltimo solsticio de invierno. En la antigua cultura celta, se celebraba en este tiempo una festividad muy importante del ciclo anual, llamada Samhain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nuestros ancestros precristianos no divid\u00edan el a\u00f1o en cuatro estaciones, como se hace hoy en d\u00eda.
El a\u00f1o se divid\u00eda en una noche anual y un d\u00eda anual. Por lo tanto, el a\u00f1o comenzaba con el inicio de la noche anual, en Samhain. La festividad placentera de Beltane, que marca el comienzo del d\u00eda anual, est\u00e1 diametralmente opuesta a Samhain en el ciclo anual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La \u00e9poca de cosecha comienza con Lugnasad. Mabon marca la mitad de la \u00e9poca de cosecha. Samhain es, por lo tanto, la tercera y \u00faltima de tres festividades de cosecha en el ciclo anual. A partir de este momento, no se deben cosechar m\u00e1s hierbas, frutas, verduras, bayas ni ra\u00edces. Los frutos de la Madre Tierra pertenecen a los esp\u00edritus de la tierra y de la naturaleza a partir de Samhain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seg\u00fan la creencia celta, en Samhain se abre la puerta al otro mundo. Los velos entre este mundo y el m\u00e1s all\u00e1, las fronteras entre el mundo de los vivos y el reino de los muertos son especialmente delgados en este tiempo, de modo que se puede estar muy cerca de los ancestros que nos precedieron. Simb\u00f3licamente, representa la despedida de lo que fue, para poder mirar hacia el futuro sin lastre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
