Reclaiming Halloween/Samhain--it's good for our souls. An acrostic poem. |
ALL HALLOW'S EVE Ancient echoes of traditions past Lingering litanies from circles cast Long ago now drifting down on modern paths. Halloween needs rescuing. Anarchic attempts at banishment have Left Earth's children chocolate prowling, Laying waste circumsolar energies. Our grandmothers could navigate by stars. We all need more Halloween. Samhain grows from primal seeds. Everything rises, falls, returns, sleeps. Vassals still, are we here, Entrained to the rhythm of the Wheel-of-the-Year. Note: Samhain (sow-ween} is the Celtic/Wiccan/Pagan word for Halloween. |
