Samhain

Colorful leaves falling from the maple trees onto the earth leaving a vibrant blanket of colors. Carved pumpkins on every corner, smiling whimsically among the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I love this time of year. I prepared for samhain today,gathering together apples, my cinnamon broom, gold candles, and my onyx crystal. I cooked a feast filled with hues of gold, orange, red, and brown, for my family.
That night, as I looked up to the moon, I felt a mystic connection, that I would later find out was Isabella Rain, a fellow Pagan sister, whom said she felt me call for her. This witches new year was very important to me because I just got out of a long time relationship that ended badly, and It was time to let go. To symbolize the rebirth by death, that is the new year, I built up fire under the stars, and let the flames roar.This year I pulled out a cardboard box that had old memories from my relationship, and I let the memories burn so I could have new ones. I burned leters, pictures, and roses. The feeling was amazing just to let go, and I wont lie I cried. To just feel so connected to the goddess, and let all the wieght lift off my shoulders, it was just overwhelming. The flickering flames lifted the nefgitivity from my life, and into the starry night sky. I must have spent hours out side just watching the ashes from the fire fly into the sky like little fairies ready to cause mischief.
