Samhain carries an ordinal value of 65, reducing to Two, a number tied to partnership and balance. Its reverse ordinal of 124 sits well above its forward ordinal of 65, a sign that most of its letters fall early in the alphabet.
"Samhain" is the Irish name of the festival on 31 October and 1 November, and the Irish word for the month of November. Most of what is said about ancient Samhain rites comes from later sources; the festival is covered in more detail in the Samhain guide at Gods of Ireland.
How Samhain adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Samhain is spelled S-A-M-H-A-I-N, which gives 19 + 1 + 13 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 14 = 65. Reducing the total to a single digit (6+5=11, then 1+1=2) gives 2.
