Samhain 2013 Reflections

Ah, the night was perfect for our Samhain Celebration! Clear, cold, and still. It was new moon and the time had just fallen back, so it was very dark. There were a million stars, and the Milky Way, in some cultures the pathway for the dead, shone above.  We were here to honor the recent losses in our community and to be with our beloveds in the transformative in-between time, the transition between life, death, and rebirth.
