The ancient Celts called Halloween by a different name. To them it was Samhain: New Year's Eve, a celebration of the dead, and a day for magic and divination all in one. Christianized western Europeans called the day that followed it All-Hallows and observed it with masses and mourning for the departed. Modern-day Mexicans call it the Day of the Dead, a day for partying and tidying the graves of relatives, eating skulls made of sugar, and leaving offerings for departed loved ones.
Today the abundance of witch figures may remind us of a time long ago when the Crone or Wise Woman was revered instead of feared; glimmering jack-o'-lanterns are dim echoes of the candlelit spirit-guides that welcomed back dead relations for a little visit. Halloween, like several of our cultural holidays, still has some of the magical husk surrounding it, although much of the real juice has been drained away. ~Cait Johnson

I would like to open this post to different rituals that you perform on this special day.
Blessed Be.

Song of the Samhain Goddess
Deep night in the forest,
Deep night on the hill.
The Old Wise One opens her cloak-
Inside, bitter smoke coils like a snake.
Heaped at her feet, orange pumpkins grin.
The bones of her hand shine through the skin.
Breath of Mystery rides the wind:
Honor me.
Breath of death cold on the back of your neck:
Honor me.
Breath of magic whirls around you:
Honor me.
Breath of endings and beginnings, always new.
Honor me now.
