What exactly is Samhain, and why do witches call it the Witch’s New Year? 🍂✨
In this special Wheel of the Year kickoff episode of Big Crystal Energy, host Ashleigh Bodell takes you on a journey through the magic, mystery, and meaning of Samhain - the time when the veil thins, shadows rise, and transformation begins.
From humorous Halloween chaos at home to deeply personal reflections on growth, Ashleigh shares how this ancient festival offers a powerful invitation to slow down, honor ancestors, and reconnect with your inner truth. You’ll discover essential crystals like black obsidian, smoky quartz, and labradorite for grounding and protection, along with rituals, journaling prompts, and intuitive practices to help you navigate change.
Whether you’re a seasoned witch or simply curious about seasonal spirituality, this episode will inspire you to embrace the dark half of the year with gratitude, courage, and magic. Blessed Samhain! 🕯️🖤
