Happy New Year 👒

Technically, in Wiccan practice, Samhein (which was this night) is considered to be the beginning of the new year. I (fersure) spent yesterday in the dark forest 🌿 walking, breathing and for the first time purely enjoying it instead of being terrified (= scared a lot).

What I like about the Wheel of the Year is the acknowledgment of basic concepts in connection with nature. In Western culture and in Russian culture (to my surprise) most people don’t feel comfortable with the idea of darkness and death.

So, let’s get back to the question “How come is the beginning of the darkest part of the year is the new year?”

Samhain is the ever-important period before the return of the light. It is the part that's so often overlooked in the linear-driven society we currently live in. The natural world retreats into decay (=распад, упадок) and death during this time. We are also given the same opportunity to withdraw, allow parts to fall away.

How do you feel in your body when you hear the words death and decay? Do you embrace (= принимать) these words, do they roll off of you with ease, or does something within you want to disassociate with these words?

Samhain is an opportunity to cultivate more acceptance and reverence (=почтение) for death. Here are some different ways to connect with the archetype of death in this way.

Even our modern interpretations of Samhain with Halloween have held onto cozying up to the dark. However, it wasn't until our early departure from and cyclical practices that we started to attach negative associations to darkness and death. The dark and death have not always been feared and associated with evil.

The Wheel of the Year itself is broken into a dark and light half. Even though the Wheel itself is a relatively modern interpretation of how our ancestors celebrated, we can see in the Coligny calendar of the Celts that there was deep and equal reverence for both the light and the dark. 

I do believe that the nature itself is the greatest teacher and I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out my ways to embrace dark season, I still feel uncomfortable with November, January and February being the darkest, coldest months. However, I think it’s our often dysfunctional relationship with the dark that cuts us off from the wisdom of death. They are closely intertwined and natural decay that has just started brings up the space for birth of the new life in the next season. One cannot exist without another.
