The Story & Details
The veil thins. The shadows lengthen. Samhain begins.
Seasons of the Witch: Samhain Oracle by Lorraine Anderson and Juliet Diaz, illustrated by Giada Rose, explores the symbolism, traditions and spiritual themes associated with Samhain, the autumn festival marking the darker turn of the Wheel of the Year.
Rooted in ancestral remembrance, intuition, endings and transformation, this atmospheric oracle deck invites readers to explore the questions that emerge when one chapter closes and another begins.
Its imagery is dark, intricate and unmistakably witchy, drawing on the visual language of old folklore, candlelit ritual and the mysterious spaces between the familiar and the unknown.
But this isn't simply a deck for October.
Samhain represents a threshold. A moment to consider what has ended, what deserves remembrance, what needs to be released and what we choose to carry forward. Those questions remain relevant long after the autumn celebrations have passed.
Samhain & the Wheel of the Year
Samhain has historical roots in Gaelic seasonal traditions and is observed in various forms within contemporary Pagan and witchcraft practices.
Often associated with the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, it has become a time for honouring ancestors, reflecting on mortality and exploring the symbolism of transition.
Seasons of the Witch: Samhain Oracle draws upon these themes through illustrated cards and divinatory interpretation, offering a way to incorporate seasonal symbolism into personal readings and reflective practice.
