Blessed Samhain

The cycles turn and once again

The veil of Death is lifted

We honour those gone

Who've crossed the Path

The Old, the Wise, The gifted

For one more night we share our time

And earth allows them through

Their lessons to tell

Of life and Deathe

To make our lives anew.

We enter into the darken time

Of rest and contemplation

Their Lesson is to be yourself

Live Forth

No stagnation

Cast off thy traps which keep you still

And let your wings outflare

The lessons that the spirits tell

Is live life how you dare!

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........
