In Dark Silence come Whisperings of New Beginnings...

Blessed Samhain to you all, my dear Lair guests!  It's been many a Moon since I attended you all.  For that, I beg your forgiveness.

Tonight, when the sun sinks low in the Western sky and the light softens to a violet, our celebrations and observances of the Dark Half begin.  Hearth fires will be extinguished and new fire will be kindled.  Many of us will dance 'round the bonfires (for the dwellers at the Lair, it's a firepit) as we commune with the Spirits.  Within the "death" honored tonight is also the promise of renewal.

The veil is thinnest tonight--our ancestors return to impart their Wisdom to us as seed is spread prior to germinating.  The planting commences for them...but will be reap a Harvest of knowledge or insight?  'Tis ours to tend, to nurture, and to gather.

Listen intently...let your focus soften and your awareness sharpen.  Do you hear them?  Do you feel the soft breeze of their whisper at your ear?  Do you feel the draw?

Blessed Samhain, my friends.  Bright blessings to you all!

In the softness of the Moonlight...
