On Samhain the old year ends and the new year begins; on this night the veils between this world and the other world dissolve.

Samhain is a festival of the ancestors, a celebration of the soul. We can use this night to honor and acknowledge our ancestors, ask them for support for special needs, or even to let go of issues in the ancestral line that we no longer wish to carry forward.

Nature has withdrawn, its powers resting in the womb of Mother Earth.

November is a quiet, peaceful month that invites us to pause and trustfully enter the depths, the descent of darkness.

On November 1st the graves are decorated.
Relatives and friends of the deceased visit the graves in the cemeteries and light candles as a sign of solidarity.

Topics: retreat, silence, introspection, peace and relaxation.

Questions: What do I want to let go so I can make room for something new? What do I need for my retreat?

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are handcrafted in a small factory, made from 100% vegetable stearin and a blend of plant extracts, medicinal herb essences, essential oils, and more tailored to the respective life theme. Their effect is similar to a fine incense burn: Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts are released, supporting spiritual and mental intentions.

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are not scented candles in the traditional sense; they burn for up to 40 hours and are drip-free as long as they are not exposed to drafts.
