29 Oct 05 - 01:59 PM (#1593234) Subject: RE: Samhain From: freda underhill love and peace to you all this special day. interesting that the Celtic word for assembly is samani or samoni, and the Sanskrt word for assembly or together is "sam", used in an early Hindu incantation to sing and pray together - showing the ancient ties to our rituals across the earth. samhain is also my older daughter's birthday. blessed be freda |

31 Oct 05 - 09:56 AM (#1594192) Subject: RE: Samhain From: Micca CYCLE The night weeps gentle tears for the dying day leaves in mourning again the season of dying upon us almost without warning seems only yesterday it was flowers all the way promising a bright tomorrow in its sparkling April showers and now blackberries,in black, burying the year a breath at a time. Harvest moon and first frosts Octobers icy breath announces Funeral games for Samhain Christians "All Hallows" but its worth is known to ancient Celts burying the Sun like gold 'till Spring can summon it forth with Beltane fires. But now rain,punctuating the summer comma,colon:stop. Quiet and unrelenting at the edge of thought time,bleeding down the window, invites the eye back into the past. To dwell on how things were or might have, or might, still be. Resist diversion, Time is now, and now is all you have and rain is only rain, and Autumn glorious and real and here. Blessed be |

31 Oct 05 - 12:17 PM (#1594223) Subject: RE: Samhain From: Lonesome EJ Magic The doorways between light and dark flesh and spirit the living and the dead Always tenuous at best cross-bolted by our haste and reason This Night are opened wide and what goes out and what comes in we catch out of the corners of our eyes dream images scurrying in moonshade footsteps betrayed by the crackle of fallen leaves and the quickening of breath. The breeze that stirs the branches carries Winter at his back and the moon upon his shoulders The Holy Night is solemnized by echoing laughter of children in spectral guises on suburban lawns begging for small pieces of Magic |

31 Oct 05 - 12:53 PM (#1594249) Subject: RE: Samhain From: Cats And this, from a poster in the Museum in Boscastle... Approach without fear. you who know me in your heart, For I speak to you with the voices of the winds and the shoreline is the hem of my robe. I am the breath of hope which is born in the East the Maiden, the new morning, the promise of spring. Mine is the power which burns in the South, the Mother, the midday warmth, the blessings of summer. I will draw you to me As the day fades in the West, the Wise Woman, the Healer, The Mourner of the waning year. And when bitter wind blows from the North, bidding life withdraw, to rest, to dream, I beckon you as Crone, as the dark Mother, the seed of life preserved in the bare Earth, from which you have been born and will be born again. Peace and blessings be with you all. Mine is the power which burns in the South, The Mother, the midday warmth, the blessings of summer. |

Libations have been taken and cake passed around the circle for another year. May this winter be only dark because of the season, may you all have light in your hearts and may that light shine out. To all that remain and to those whom we have known and have returned to the earth Blessed be. |
