****************
Samhain, the night when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest, and magick strong. It is a celebration of death and of the dead, and it often involves paying respect to ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets and other loved ones who have died. The spirits of the departed are invited to attend this festival of darkness and death.
This oil casts a spell unto itself, fitting for this time of year:
As this Samhain passes from us
soon the drawing will embrace us
and the sunset portal close.
Until the turning of the year
we part for just awhile.
Yet I know there is no ending
and the silver thread spins outward
to that place where you are going
until I travel there to meet you,
or your return upon the autumn,
on this sacred night of Spirits
when we shall meet again,
Blessed Be.
