Samhain 2023
White Mountain Druid Sanctuary at Trout Lake Abbey 46 Stoller Road, Trout Lake, WA, United StatesWe will celebrate Samhain (pronounced SOW-en), the Feast of our Sacred Dead, at the White Mountain Druid Sanctuary at Trout Lake Abbey. This will be an Irish Celebration of the Goddess Morrigan and the Gods An Dagda and Donn. Samhain is called the Hinge of the Year and may have been the ancient Irish New Year. At this liminal time, the 'veils' between the Worlds are thinner than usual, and Spirits are more easily contacted. We hold our rites around sunset, which is a liminal time of day, making our connections even stronger.
