Samhain

Topic image

Samhain (pronounced 'Sow-in') is traditionally celebrated on 31 October and marks the beginning of the Celtic year. It is a point of transition that marks the end of the harvest season and offers space for letting go of the old. Originally a fire festival, it was used to nurture contact with the ancestors and to symbolically commit the old to the fire. On this night, the veil between the worlds is considered especially thin; intuition, dreams and memories emerge more clearly. In this powerful time, healing stones can help to connect with the ancestors, heal old wounds and cleanse the energetic space.

Gemwater

Gemwater can gently support physical and emotional well-being and help promote inner balance. The practice of making gemwater dates back to antiquity and was sometimes extremely complex. Nowadays, two comparatively simple yet practical and effective methods have become established. One is the direct method, in which the stones are placed directly in drinking water. The other is the indirect method, in which the stones rest in a separate container in the water without touching it directly. As not all stones are suitable for direct contact, you should familiarise yourself with their composition and suitability before using them.
