Ask Michelle Anything

Sam writes…

When exactly is souls night is it around the winter solstice or Christmas Eve

Michelle Replies…

Dear Sam, Many thanks for your question.  Souls’ Night occurs in the dark of the Blackthorn Moon.  This means that it corresponds roughly to our Hallowe’en, ie the end of October  – although of course Torak’s people reckoned by the phases of the moon,  rather than sticking to a rigid calendar, as we do.   I hope this helps!  Best wishes, Michelle
