What is Samhain?

Samhain was first observed by Celtic Pagans. 


On this day, the Celts believed the veil between the living and the dead was especially thin.


Because of this, Samhain became a time to honor your ancestors and deceased loved one, do protection rituals, reflect on the year that has passed, and set your sights on the year to come.


  • It marks the Celtic New Year, and the end of the harvest season.
  • It also signaled the beginning of winter, which they associated with death.
  • Samhain begins on October 31st and ends in the evening on November 1st.


Read on to discover the best crystals and gemstones for Samhain based on their metaphysical properties.
