- “Now is the Night of November Eve, as the Samhain rites begin.
Spirits step from the World Beyond, this night when the Veil is thin.
Coming through the Land of Shadows,
awakening from the World of Dreams,
joining hands with the Children of Midnight
as the Moonlight Lantern gleams.
Drifting in the Wind of Evening, Chanting words in an ancient tongue,
dancing light to the music of Fearies, as the Sacred Prayer is sung.
We honor this In-Between time, this space between Darkness and Light,
While greeting the Reign of the Winter King,
On this Windy Autumn Night”.
As you know, October 31 is the Wiccan Sabbat which we call Samhain. Samhain is a celebration of the Year’s Final Harvest. But in our mythos, it also celebrates the death of the Grain God, who will now find rest until he is reborn of the Goddess at Yule. And it’s also a time when we celebrate the Goddess as the Crone; the Timeless Old woman of Wisdom. It’s a time that marks the end of the Old year. And it’s a Feast of the Dead as well.
This week: A Celebration of Samhain
It’s been said that at this time of the year, the veil between this world, and the world of Spirit is the thinnest.
And this year our Samhain celebration will feature a Dumb Supper in which I honor the spirits of my parents.

- The God (times four)
- Listen:

- For this week’s show I want to look at the religious, magickal and mystical natures of the God as He relates to the Wheel of the Year. Through these roles we know the God in four principal guises: The Oak King and the Holly King, and also the Green Man and the Harvest Lord. Many Wiccans and Pagans work these figures into their rituals, creating a mythos of how the God and Goddess relate to each other.
