Samhain ~ The Great Sabbat

begin your souling session, keep our traditions alive!

Lit your bonfire ring, dance your invoking circle,
hail the elements’ quarters, set your magick ablaze!

In the presence of the Lord of the World
I form an enlightened attitude.

In an inexorable desire to become aware of itself. Each one of us, beings of light that we are, carry these layers in our psyche, our genes. Our very protoplasm. Go down through your layers, through your childhood and your dreams. Through the apes and the amphibians and the fish and the protozoan slime. Through the volcanic waters and the carbo... read more
