October 31st is always my anniversary, since it’s my twelve years in the Wiccan path, I did celebrate my Solitary Samhain Ritual for this Sabbat/ Festival in the beach.
Samhain is a time of transition as the earth prepares for winter’s rest and we prepare for our journey through the dark of the year. Samhain is a time to reflect and remember ancestors, loved ones, including pets, who no longer walk in this earth. It is important to remember them and speak their names.
Lore-legend: Place a candles in the windows to help ancestors find their way, developed into the jack-o-lanterns, which was intended to welcome and guide as well as warn any unwanted spirits to stay away.
A Blessed Samhain Night )0(
This year has waxed with the fullness of life and now wanes into shadow. Our souls take rest in the dark as the wheel of the seasons makes its final turn.
This is the time when the Goddess is in her full crone aspect. She represents winter and death, which is necessary for future renewal. It’s a time for personal study and introspection in preparation for the new cycle that begins at Yule. It is our own symbolic death before renewal.
