I always do a little altar for my ancetors at this time of year, because some of them came from your part of the world. I didn't know about the Beloved dead.. thankyou for that information.<BR/>Our Samhain is when you celebrate Beltane and we don't have the 'trappings' as such.. like trick or treating...Miss Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144002124919728056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953914797454230899.post-39899606724224955542007-10-31T23:14:00.000+00:002007-10-31T23:14:00.000+00:00This was a beautiful post.

As a result, I've spent time today thinking about people I have loved - still love - who have departed and who have meant much to me ... I shall do it always, and no longer think of Hallowe'en as a nuisance, but Samhain as something to look forward to.

I loved your comment about Halloween being to Samhain what Rudolf is to Christmas. That's gonna stick in my mind for a long while. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm making a centrepiece today that will be part of my ritual tonight and that can be used to decorate for the party, thereby linking the old traditions with the new. It feels right to me.Spiritual Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977804878312975268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953914797454230899.post-8729437251047612322007-10-31T01:03:00.000+00:002007-10-31T01:03:00.000+00:00Thanks for posting that.

But I enjoy Samhain, and I observe it pretty much as you do Sue,with introspection, and remembrance for those who have gone, especially my much loved Dad.<BR/><BR/> despite really not liking all the plastic rubbish filling the shops, and the silly portrayal of pagans, I like Samhain<BR/><BR/>Leanne xLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573431221299174647noreply@blogger.com
