Silent Sermon Sunday

The wheel turns, the new year begins.
Take what is meaningful forward with you.
Leave the rest for the winds to blow away.
Remember those who have left this world.
Cherish those who have taught you much.
Celebrate the harvest and the love that supports you.
Settle in now for a winter of deep rest.
And ponder what learning, love & joy you harvested.
Be glad and hopeful.
Bright Blessings of Samhain!

Namaste' Till Next Time,

My Besom & Pointy Hat

Yesterday during Wishcasting Wednesday, upon reading my wish, a reader suggested that I might post a picture of me in my pointy hat. Click on it so it grows large and gives you the full effect!

So, it's not really their wish, but I thought I'd let fly with a snap of me and my hat from last Samhain. Hope you enjoy it. And yes, I did all those pumpkins.

I'm not sure what's going on with me lately but my thoughts are darting about like bats in a cave disturbed by light....and I can't concentrate on anything long enough to get it down for your consideration. I know I've been absent from posting comments on your blogs, but trust me, I've been there seeing what you're up to...perhaps I've become a specter now instead of a witch? Hmm...

So for now, enjoy this and I'll be back with more cogent thoughts shortly.

Wishcasting Wednesday

"What treat do you wish for?" Oh, it is that time soon, isn't it?! A treat for me instead of the tricks that so often hide in a day....or a dream.

A treat...something that is fun and exciting. Or quiet and kind. A treat...treat...treat! Hmm, let me think. I've got it!

I wish that every child has the sort of safe, fun Halloween trick or treats we had the luxury of having when I was a child.

When the world was a little less scary and things were a little more kind. When things that went bump in the night were only the things of story or horror film. When children could go racing door to door, for blocks and blocks on their own. In groups merry with anticipation and squeals of delight. Without the worry of having to be guarded against harm or hurt.

I wish for the treat of a fun All Hallows Eve when I can sit out on the porch with my besom and pointy hat and fill the bags and waiting hearts with chocolate treats. With the jack-o-lanterns blazing orange in the yard. I want the treat of talking with all the wee ghosties and goblins who come a-begging.

Yeah, that's most certainly the treat I wish for....
