Challenge - Day 30!

Whatever tickles your fancy

Well, 28 out of 30 isn't bad is it?

Today is the Pagan holiday of Samhain.
Read my post from last year on what Samhain is about.



I was talking with some friends that were interested in knowing why I believe and celebrate these holidays. They asked; "what makes this day more special than another one? How do you celebrate it or any of the Pagan holidays?" I asked them the same about their Christian holiday. For many people in the world December 25th is just a regular day, what makes it special to them? I know there are meanings behind the holidays and why they are celebrated, there are traditions and rituals. A holiday is what you make it. This is what I do too, remember and celebrate the changing of the seasons and the ancestral history that is part of me. I know I had many ancestors who celebrated this holiday.

However you celebrate the day; be it Samhanin, Holloween, or All Saint's Eve, I hope you have a great day.
