Halloween Post

Samhain Tanka

 Journey to within;
time to look beyond the Veil.
The Crone is calling.
What is past will now come forth
to search for a place to rest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Samhain - pronounced "Sawain" because Gaelic makes no sense - is the fall celebration to remember ones ancestors, release what no longer serves you, and prepare to rest and heal during the Winter to rise again in the Spring. 
It is the time when the Veil between our world and the Other World - the SĂ­dhe (pronounced "Shee" because, hey, Gaelic), the Realm of the Faeries/Fae - is the thinnest. It is referred to by some as the Witch's New Year.
