Samhain (October, 31) is the time when the blessed Summer Maiden leaves our world, leaving for the whole winter in stone, in the ground, and her place is taken by the Dark Old Woman, Kailekh, the weaver of the blizzard and the mistress of the cold winter winds. The Horned God, to Samhain, becomes a Wild Hunter, a destroyer and a furious pursuer, opening gates, a hunter of fear and souls. In the Wiccan tradition, where God is rather the embodiment of vegetation, he dies on this holiday, goes to another world to be resurrected at his own time. Samhain is a dark time, a time when the earth ceases to belong to man, and spirits and magical people become masters of it for a quarter of the year. During Samhain, the spirits of the dead come to visit their living relatives - doors are left open for them and guiding lights are lit on windows and in front of houses, and special food is prepared.
