Once again, the blessed Samhain is upon us. The secular giving of treats to little ones (and not so little ones) at the door is over and the familial work of preparation and remembrance may begin. The Veil is thinning, the Circle is being cast, the candles are being lit, and the loved ones are drawing near from the Other World.
As we close in on this moment--this particular ritual so familiar and so infinitely new each Samhain--feel the magick of this night. 'Tis the final Quarter of our Lady's journey through the skies before She makes Herself New on November 6th. Things are slowing at this time...the Veil is parted, but we needn't rush our preparations. There is time, my dear Lair followers...there is ALWAYS time.
Hold fast to your kith and kin this beauteous Night of Samhain. Keep both those of this world and those of the next ever close. Feel the warm embrace of She who unites us for this loveliest of moments.
Blessed Samhain, my dears.
In the waning light of the Moon...
This is a beautiful and moving post. Yes, there is always time, and yet - mayhaps paradoxically - that's exactly why we must hold fast with one another, lest we forget what proves most enduring and precious across the long epochs.
