Most people think of October 31st as the modern holiday of Halloween. However, this night is also one of the sacred pagan holidays called Samhain. Prounounced "sow-inn", this night marks the end of the pagan year.

Samhain - The Pagan New Year will tell you more about this ancient holiday.

Blessed Be,
Rae

Obviously a newbie here and looking into spirituality, you-name-it. Because I was traveling on Oct. 31 this year, I left an apple outside for a dearly departed friend I lost in
2003.

How long does Yule/winter solstice last? Because I'm residing under parents' roof, burning candles long is not option. Any suggestion on how to honor/celebrate winter solstice?

Yaya,

You do whatever you can, as it is the intention and not the overall actions that are the most important. Maybe you can have a special light that you turn on instead of a candle. Or you can just do a meditation/visualization. The full moon of the 26th is also a good night to manifest energy.
