SUMMARY:Samhain - Celtic New Year
DESCRIPTION:Summary\n\nThe most important Celtic festival\, marking the end
  of harvest and beginning of winter. Samhain (pronounced "SOW-in") was whe
 n the veil between worlds was thinnest\, allowing communication with ances
 tors. Bonfires were lit on hilltops\, offerings were made to the spirits\,
  and communities gathered for feasting. This festival later influenced Hal
 loween traditions. The Coligny calendar shows this as a major division in 
 the Celtic year.\n\nSources\n• Encyclopaedia Britannica - Samhain: https

SUMMARY:Feast of the Cailleach — Winter Begins Her Reign
DESCRIPTION:Summary\n\nWith the passage of Samhain\, the Cailleach Bhéara 
 reclaimed her dominion over the land. In Scottish Gaelic tradition\, Samha
 in was the day the Cailleach struck the earth with her staff and froze the
  ground until Brigid's return at Imbolc. Her realm was not merely cold and
  dark — it was sovereign\, powerful\, and necessary. The Cailleach shape
 d the mountains and rivers\, called the storms that pruned the weak and no
 urished the strong\, and guarded the deer on the high ground. This Novembe
 r feast acknowledges that the Cailleach is not Brigid's enemy but her comp
 lement — the winter that makes spring possible\, the darkness that gives
  meaning to light.\n\nSources\n• Encyclopaedia Britannica — Cailleach:
