As Samhain approaches, I honour the cycles of life, death, and rebirth with a transformational ritual. Each year, I turn to this ritual not only as a way to mark the season but as a deeply personal journey of release and renewal. Samhain is the time when the veil between worlds is thin, allowing us to connect with the wisdom of our ancestors and reflect on the past year. For me, it’s a chance to release what no longer serves me old habits, fears, and stagnant energy and to welcome new beginnings. By placing candles inside a pomegranate, an ancient symbol of life and transformation, I’m reminded of the sacred cycles that guide us all. Through this ritual, I create space for growth and renewal. Each step lighting the black candle to release, burning intentions, and lighting the white candle for fresh starts reinforces my commitment to self-growth. It’s a powerful way to honor where I’ve been and intentionally set the course for where I’m going. Plus, eating a pomegranate seed as part of the ritual allows me to truly “digest” my intentions, carrying them forward with strength and purpose. Whether you’re celebrating Samhain or simply seeking transformation, may this ritual inspire you to create space for what’s to come.
