	Description:		In the Southern Hemisphere, April 30 marks the Pagan festival of Samhain, sometimes known as witches' New Year's Eve. In Wicca, a modern Pagan religion followed by witches, it's the night when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Rowan of Wycksted is a green witch living rurally in the Kaipara who follows traditions handed down through generations. For her, celebrating the Wiccan new year is a time of family gathering with ceremony and traditions, both serious and fun. Rowan runs Wycksted.co.nz, an online witches store, repository for Wicca information, and - since Covid put a pause on covens - the site for the Wycksted School of Witchery.
