Squint your eyes and choose to see
I hope that fired you up!
Samhain is a fortnight away and is the start of the Celtic year.
The Wheel has turned full circle, the harvest is home and larders are well stocked, the trees are rapidly shedding leaves and drawing sap into their hearts ready for the winter's rest.
This festival is honoured in many different ways, with fire and feasts, with stories of long ago, with rituals and in "All Hallows Eve" pursuits.
It is a time for remembering departed spirits, their deeds and ways, one of the gateway between the worlds, when the veil is thin.
A time to bring your sheep and cattle (figurative or real) down from the high summer pastures to safety for the spring or to slaughter to sustain us through the dark winter months.
Dunk your apples, feast with friends
Reflect on the year just passing and plan for the next
Light your fires and in them cast your offerings or prayers
Share how you celebrate Samhain by sending your contributions to celticyeartwo@btinternet.com
Love and firelight
Lindsey
