As the Wheel of the Year turns, we find ourselves yet again in one of the most magickal times -- Samhain, the Witches' New Year.
For witches, pagans, druids, and those attuned to the cycles of nature, Samhain represents a profound opportunity for both reflection and rebirth. But this year, the cosmic alignment we’re stepping into is unlike any we’ve seen in recent memory, and its potential for transformation is, dare I say, written in the stars.
In 2024, when we layer together the energies of the moon, the seasons of the earth, and Pythagorean Numerology, Samhain coincides with three powerful energies: the completion energy of October’s 9 numerological influence, the release energy of the Dark Moon on October 31st, and the new beginning energies of both the New Moon and November’s 1 numerological energy. If ever there was a time to let go of the past and set clear intentions for your future, this is it.
What Makes This Samhain So Special?
Samhain is traditionally a time when the veil between the worlds of the living and non-living is at its thinnest. It’s a time to honor ancestors, release what no longer serves us, and prepare for the months ahead, where we transition into a new year. This year, however, we are given even more powerful tools for transformation. Let’s break down these unique layers of energy:
- The 9-Energy of October: In Pythagorean numerology, the number 9 signifies endings, closure, and the completion of a cycle. As October comes to a close, we are called to reflect on what we’ve learned, to release old patterns, and to make space for the new. The energy of this month asks us to prepare for the rebirth that comes with November.
- The Dark Moon on Samhain: The Dark Moon, the final moon phase in the lunar cycle, is all about releasing, letting go, and endings. Occurring on October 31st, this Dark Moon aligns perfectly with Samhain, making it a potent time for release rituals. If there are old wounds, beliefs, or situations you’ve been struggling with, this is the perfect time to shed them.
- The 1-Energy of November: November ushers in a 1-energy month, which in numerology symbolizes fresh beginnings, new starts, and intention setting. This energy is the perfect counterpart to October’s closures, as it invites us to plant seeds for the new cycle. The New Moon on November 1st amplifies this energy, creating an ideal moment to manifest your dreams for the year ahead.
- Triple-1 Portal: November, being the 11th month of the year, carries its own significance in numerology. The number 11 is a master number associated with spiritual awakening and enlightenment. This November, we experience a Triple-1 Portal—where the number 1 energy from the month energy (fresh beginnings and manifestation) is amplified threefold. This alignment is incredibly rare and offers a unique opportunity to set intentions with power and clarity.
The Layering of These Energies
When you combine these forces, you get a potent blend of endings, new beginnings, and the magickal energy of creation and manifestation. Samhain and the New Moon this year create a portal of creation— a doorway that invites you to step into your most empowered self, to release the old and embrace the new with clarity and purpose.
The energetic tapestry being woven on October 31st and November 1st is like nothing we’ve seen in years. The threads of completion, rebirth, and cosmic synergy are calling you to tap into this potent moment to transform your life.
How to Tap Into This Magickal Energy
During this time, rituals around release, intention-setting, and manifestation are all going to be both necessary and powerful. Whether through quiet contemplation, journaling, candle magick, or whatever your chosen tools, focusing your energy and intentions during Samhain and the New Moon, respectively, will yield profound results. The key is to get clear on what you want to release and what you wish to invite into your life.
