Samhain

Samhain

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
