Seasons Turning


The season is turning...
time to think of Samhain (Halloween)
in ancient Celtic times the night of Oct the 31st
was seen as the beginning of the new year...
a time of magic and renewal
The beginning of the dark half of the year,
when deep in the soil a kernel of new life lay...
waiting to be born
A time to gather in the harvest
lest they be damaged by frosty fairy breath...
a time of Celebration!
for the year past and the year yet to be...
