Standingstones Celtic Samhain
AND SAMHAIN APPROACHES...
There is no denying that we have begun the slide from summer into winter. On the warmest days the breeze holds a hint of falling leaves and a light note of frost. The moon rejoices as the curtain of haze that has hidden her all summer is finally lifted. This is the point upon which all other experiences are founded. We are called to contemplate change and experiences--life and death, summer and winter, planting and harvesting.
Here, then, is the time we call Samhain, a time for transformation and reflection.
Standingstones Celtic Samhain will endeavor to incorporate myth, tradition, and ancient religion into an accessible whole. We call it Celtic because the word Samhain and many of its accompaniments have come down to us as having Celtic origins. The word Samhain is actually the Irish word for November (the night also being called November Eve).
A SAMHAIN BLESSING
May the ancestors deliver blessings on you and yours...
May the new year bear great fruits for you...
May your granted wishes be as many as the seeds in a pomegranite...
May the slide into darkness bring you light...
May the memories of what has been keep you strong for what is to be...
May this Samhain cleanse your heart, your soul, and your mind!
