Samhain is the third and final harvest on the Wheel of The Year. It marks the end of warmer days (Samhain is translated to "End of Summer) and the start to Winter. It is a celebration of harvest and a great time to honor the dead, as the spirit realm and the spiritual veil between our world is thinnest.

I feel that one of the greatest struggles for witches today is to maintain that sense of connection to our craft. Life can be pretty hectic, and demanding, leaving us feeling out of contact with our magic which suck.

Faery witches believe in faeries (nature spirits) and tend to communicate with them within their craft. There is no organized practice and they are very individual in how they approach theirs.

Crystal Witch: Witches who work with stones and crystals, such as through crystal healing or chakra balancing. Their Book of Shadows will most likely have information about the stones, chakra balance, and crystal meditation.  Crystal witchcraft is also a branch of the green witchcraft. It´s more common to find a Green witch than a Crystal witch.
