The final spoke on the Wheel of the Year comes 6 weeks after the Fall equinox and that is Oct 31, Halloween  or Samhain .
It is a 2 fold holiday. First  it is the Feast of the dead, as it is the time when the veil between the worlds is thinnest. Second it is the Meat harvest when farmers would choose which animals would be kept for Spring breeding and which would slaughtered for Winter.

Six weeks after Lammas comes the Autumn Equinox, on or about the 21st of September. This is another “balance festivals” when neither light nor darkness holds majority. It is also the time of the Apple harvest when you can divine the name of your future mate by throwing apple peelings over your shoulder and seeing what letter forms.
