how is all hallows eve celebrated by wiccans?

Answer 1

I believe it's called either Samhain or November Eve. Asatru goes by Winter Night but it's not a set date.

Answer 2

We generally refer to it as Samhain. The way a Wiccan honors any Sabbat often varies from person to person. Samhain specifically is a Sabbat that has two main functions. First it is recognized as the last day of the year so we might use it to reflect on whats happened in the previous year. What did we accomplish? Not accomplish? Learn? Etc... Second, Samhain is the time that we honor the process of death especially in regards to anyone we might have lost this year. There are many many ways that we do this, I've personally visited graveyards and manicured plots that look like they've been forgotten and walked around and read the markers. You learn alot about death when you take the time to see what the grieving have to say about it. This year, my husbands mother died and I'll be making a ritual to honor her.

Answer 3

Here a brief explanation.
Samhain (Holloween) - October 31
Samhain is the Wiccan New Year, and is one of the four major holidays of Wicca. [Pronounced "Sow-hen or Sow-in"]. At this time, the God passes into the otherworld to be reborn to the Goddess at Yule. The division between the worlds is thin, and it is a time to remember one's ancestors and to reflect on the past year. In the past, it was at this time that animals were slaughtered for food during the winter and the tribal chief took part in the ritual as the King Stag.

Answer 4

All Hallows Eve is a specific Catholic holiday. Wiccans celebrate their holiday of Samhain on the same day, but they are not the same holiday.
