Samhain-the begining of the rest....

Samhain in Celtic tradition is seen as the end of the Wheel of the year, but not in the sense of the day after being the beginning.
The period between Samhain and Yule marks a time of reflection. What are we letting go of for the year? What goals will we set for ourselves by Yuletide.
As Samhain comes closer, and the veil thins between our worlds, some of us can feel energies of those gone past, and can reflect on lessons which they have taught.

My quandry for this time is the reflection on whether to inflict action through spell and ritual, or do I just accept the outcome of whatever situation I am given.
As Witches, we need not just accept, but can decide on a direction, and take some action toward it, even if it is only a psycho pomp ritual directed at the change.

I do not think I will ever be settled on this........

The most difficult part of magick

The most difficult part of doing a spell is to let go and let the bloody forces work. Especially when its something you urgently need. Its hard to not think about it while you are waiting, so I am trying to keep myself busy. Thought blogging would help but it doesn't.
Are there any Wiccans out there who deal with this problem? The one where you keep agonising if you did the spell right? Should you do it again?
Of course the aswer is NO... but I can't help wondering if the fluttered out candle was a sign that I want too much? So much for burning the candle for an hour, the wind blew it out and killed the energy......
