Samhain- pronounced SAW- in This is the time of the New Year, the veil between the worlds is at it's thinest. This is the time you can visit the other side the easiest. Are you going to walk amongst those who have been and will be? I hope to encounter you there in the mist... Blessed Be! |

I won't actually be walking, but our group is having a Dumb Supper, where we will invite ancestors and friends who have passed to join us at a meal. The meal will be silent (hence "dumb"). We'll cast a circle and ask the elementals and deities to protect us from harmful spirits. We'll then open a portal for spirits of good intent to join us; serve them their meals and then serve ourselves. We'll meditate and hope to communicate with them, thank them for joining us, and invite them to remain for the rest of the Samhain ritual. After the ritual, we'll take the meals that were served to the ancestors and return them to the Earth. I have to say that this has always been my favorite holiday of the year! |
