“In that open field
If you do not come too close, if you do not come too close,
On a summer midnight, you can hear the music
Of the weak pipe and the little drum
And see them dancing around the bonfire
The association of man and woman…
Round and round the fire
Leaping through the flames, or joined in circles,
Rustically solemn or in rustic laughter
Lifting heavy feet in clumsy shoes,
Earth feet, loam feet, lifted in country mirth
Mirth of those long since under earth.” TS Eliot
“God is alive and magic is afoot.” Leonard Cohen
Samhain, the ancient Celtic holiday, which falls at the midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice is on November 7. Significant things can happen on these cross quarter days – it’s wise to heighten awareness for information that surfaces at this time.
The veils are thin between now and November 7. It is a good time to honor and celebrate the ancestors.
It’s also a good time for intention setting with the New Moon in Scorpio kicking off a mystical time-frame.
One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”The silvery moon shining across a beautiful gem of a lake.”
