Samhain gathering for women.
Samhain...Is pronounced Sow-en...Not sam hain...Sow en... and remember this is truly a sacred time of year, our new year, a time of communing with our beloved ancestors and to set new terms for our reality, a new year of new goals and dreams. Honor this time and honor your self.
Samhain, "Summer's End," the Celtic New Year, the Blood Harvest, Dia de los Muertos, Day of the Dead... Death - a constant source of mystery and intrigue that beckons us to journey beyond the comfort of our five senses and into the realm of the shadow.
In the twilight-dusk of the year, the stillness of Wintertime approaches. The days grow shorter -- and the nights deeper. We come together with intent, to pay heed to ancient whispers, voices that urge us to prepare for the cold, and the long nights to come. Over head, the Blood Moon waxes to Full while the Earth drowses in Her first stages of sleep. In the flickering candlelight, by the warmth of the fire, together we slip into a space of darkness, and there find the embrace of the shadow. With a sigh of relief we submit to the ebb and the flow of Her, fearlessly traveling between the worlds as warriors, poets, priests and priestesses, welcoming the chance to dream, to reflect and connect, and to find the beauty in this season of death.
>From the safety of the Tribe, held lovingly in the womb of the underworld, we gaze upward to the velvet sky, then into the fire, and finally into the dark glass and beyond ourselves, calling forth the Queen of the Night, She who has many names. With no memory of the past and no vision of the future we are truly at rest and content to be -- just be.
Join us as we gather around the community fire to rid ourselves forever of that which is no longer of use. We receive messages in the darkness that will allow us to experience Samhain in a profound and moving way and use the knowledge we gain to change our lives. We carry the flame of the Goddess with us, back to our own hearths.
