In Celtic mythology, the harvest festival holds great significance as a celebration of abundance and the cycle of nature. Often associated with the festival of Samhuinn (Samhain), it marks the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter. This festival serves to honor the earth’s yield, expressing gratitude for sustenance while also recognizing the interconnectedness of life and death. Rituals often include feasting, storytelling, and honoring the ancestors, reflecting community bonds and the understanding of seasonal change, vital aspects of Celtic culture.
