SAMHAIN OCTERBER 31
.
Since the arrival of Fall, Lughnasadh, the Sun has lost strength. The days become shorter, the nights longer. October 31, from this turning of the season, nature enters Winter.
October is the month of Shadows. Now is the time for communion with our friends and relatives who have passed on, to embrace survival after death. October 31,Samhain, on this sacred evening the veils between the living and dead are at there thinnest.
Samhain, wise women all around the planet will invoke Spirits, perform spells and incantations with the paring of apples. I suggest what ever ritual you chose to perform, keep the words simple and repetitive.
