Everything we have ever seen, touched, or measured directly is made from a surprisingly small fraction of the universe. According to modern cosmology, ordinary matter accounts for only about 5% of the universe’s total mass and energy.

The remaining 95% consists of two mysterious components. Dark matter makes up approximately 27%, while dark energy accounts for roughly 68%. Scientists know these components exist because of their measurable effects on galaxies, gravity, and the expansion of the universe, even though their fundamental nature remains unknown.

Dark matter does not emit, absorb, or reflect detectable light. Astronomers study its gravitational influence on stars, galaxies, and the bending of light through space. Without its additional gravity, many observed galactic motions would be difficult to explain.

Dark energy presents an even greater mystery. Observations of distant supernovae and other cosmic measurements show that the universe’s expansion is accelerating. Dark energy is the name scientists give to whatever is responsible for this acceleration, although its physical origin remains uncertain.

Even the ordinary matter around us exists beyond much of our natural perception. Human eyes detect only a narrow portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, approximately 380 to 750 nanometers in wavelength. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes cannot directly detect.

Our hearing is similarly limited. Most young, healthy humans can hear frequencies between approximately 20 and 20,000 hertz. Many animals perceive sounds outside this range, while scientific instruments can detect vibrations and electromagnetic signals far beyond human sensory capabilities.

Modern telescopes and detectors have expanded our understanding of reality far beyond what our senses can experience. From invisible infrared radiation to gravitational waves and dark matter’s gravitational effects, science continues revealing a universe much larger and more complex than the small portion we naturally perceive.

When Is Samhain?
Each year the closer to Samhain and All Hallows Eve I feel strange, different, disrupted, unsettled, the need for a little Korn, and Rob Zombie mixed with some Practical Magic, and Hocus Pocus. The veil between the worlds is thinning we can sense the sprits coming near, ready to cross over, ready for new souls to come through, ancestors whispering...

In my coven, and family, and friends, we treat it as a full season because you can feel it. It's about the weeks spanning late October and early November, when strange things seem to happen or can be sensed culminating October 31st through the 6th, 7th, or 8th of November. Right after the 31st of October there is this quiet silent dark period of about a week I always hold vigil with quiet meditation and lit candles.

Traditionally, Samhain is observed from sunset on the 31st of October through to sunset on the 1st of November. The Celts celebrated their New Year from sunset to sunset. The Mound of the Hostages on the Hill of Tara, Ireland (see image), is one of the most famous of many burial mounds in Ireland and Britain that align with the rising sun on November 1st marking the moment of Samhain and the Celtic New Year.

Some people follow the astronomical cross-quarter, which places Samhain at the actual midpoint between the autumn equinox (Mabon) and the winter solstice (Yule). This usually falls a few days into November. This year it is November 6, 2026, at 3:27 PM MST.

As far as I'm concerned, Samhain isn't something that needs squeezing into a single evening. I feel it is something you experience approaching, something that settles over the land as October gives way to November. It is an entire season.

(Fun Fact (or Not so much): All Hallows Eve or Halloween was moved from May 13th to October 31st in the 8th century by Pope Gregory III to coincide with Samhain to bring pagans onside and get them to convert to Christianity.)
May we all celebrate as we wish and as we are called, Blessed Be!
