Samhain Thoughts

Tonight we celebrate Samhain... end of summer, the last of the harvest festivals.

We enter and welcome the dark time of year, the nights are longer and colder. Bare trees rest, roots deep within the earth, waiting for suns return in spring. Samhain night, the night when the veil between the worlds are thin... a night when we honour our ancestors, those who have gone before, tonight they hear us call. Tonight I welcome and embrace the darkness. In the cool, reflective darkness may I learn as I reflect on the past year and the year to come.

"As evening gathers Her darkness tonight, samhain's mystery is revealed... Bless the ancestors...bless those to come... The veils between the worlds will thin... Let them in. Let them in..." ~Lucy Cavendish


Blessed Be! To all my Pagan and Wiccan friends.
Happy Halloween!
