The veil is thinnest
As Harvest Moon Mother opens the door
Welcome to you, and ancestors all
The veil is thinnest
Wind blows, leaves fall
Sun waxes, bonfires burn
Come join the feast and guide me as the year courses through
The veil is thinnest
As the Oak King prepares to give way to the Holly King.
Summer gives way to winter, Father Sun gives way to Mother moon
The veil is thinnest as
Outward manifestations gives way to inner reflection.
Rejoice, oh ancestors and visitors all,
As the old year and old ways give way to new directions of the coming year
Honor and welcome to one and all
The veil is thinnest
From dusk till dawn
When the moon is full
And the senses are alive
Ancestors whisper, honor and welcome to all
The veil is thinnest
When earth is under feet with growth and nurturance
Honor and welcome to you, brownie and gnome
The veil is thinnest
When the wind is wild with change and energy
Honor and welcome to you, sylphs and dragonfly
The veil is thinnest
When the cauldron of Bridget burns bright with inspiration and imagination
Honor and welcome to you, salamander and drake
The veil is thinnest
When the sea whispers of healing and cleansing
Welcome selkie and undines
You walk between the worlds as the egg is cast
Heaven comes down to earth and minds meld as one

Wonderful.
I love this picture. Thank you for sharing.
This is an evocative mythological run-through of the traditions of Samhain as a day of the dead in Celtic tradition. For Catholics, there’s also a major emphasis on the deceased on our triple feasts of All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day, and we have adapted and share various customs associated with Samhain with a Christian understanding of our relationship to those souls who have gone before us.
