Why Samhain is the Perfect Time to Tackle Your TO DO List
Clearing the Decks for Winter Rest
As the ancient festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-en) approaches, marking the end of the harvest and the threshold into winter, it’s the ideal moment to breathe energy into your TO DO list.
Samhain, which comes from the phrase ‘summers wain’ meaning the end of summer and the growing season. On an energetic level, its all about closure, letting some shit go to allow transformation, a time to finish up with whatever needs an ending, tie up loose ends, have THAT conversation, tackle the admin pile, repair and mend what you’ve been putting off and honour the year’s work before the deep rest of winter sets in.
All this will allow you to enter the winter months unburdened.
By ticking off those lingering tasks now, you align yourself with the natural energy of closure that Samhain brings. This gives you permission to fully rest and restore during the quieter, darker months ahead. Let winter become a true sanctuary, free from the weight of unfinished business. There’s no better time: clear your list, honour the transition, and welcome the peace of the season.
Winter is coming. Stay cosy.
