KOSMOS eBooklet: Samhain, All Saints' Day

Experiencing the seasons mindfully and consciously connects us with the forces of natural rhythms. Burning incense at the winter solstice, in early spring at Candlemas, or in midsummer at St. John's Day, gives us energy and guides us to our inner selves - we detach ourselves from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The seasonal energy of early November brings a deceleration and supports withdrawal into our inner world. In nature, there are hardly any distractions left; we now find diversity in our engagement with ourselves. Feelings such as sadness, fear, pain, shame, guilt, anger, or even hatred may now be fully experienced and all stages gone through: It's about observing, allowing, expressing, and letting go.

With a description of the Celtic-Germanic and Christian roots, tips for modern celebration of the annual cycle festival, and examples of suitable incenses.
