“Come now together. Join hands and share with us the understanding of death and rebirth; be as a tree which spreads its roots in the earth, and its branches to the heavens, standing witness to eternal transformation. For death is not a wall against which all thought and all consciousness must cease, but a door, a door to new life, to wonder, and to enchantment. …Be still now and look within, with closed eyes. Feel…feel. Feel the earth beneath your feet , feel the roots of your being re-connect with the earth, with the Mother. And as you do, your mind relaxes, your body relaxes, with each breath you take. Breathe deeply, gently, and imagine to yourself a leaf, full of life, as it fades and transforms, to fall and float gently downward, into a flowing stream. In your mind’s eye of imagination, see it float effortlessly, down and down the stream of life….See it reach the sea, the vastness of infinity. See it sink gently beneath the waves, gradually releasing its form to become one with the infinite. Whence it came, thence it returns, to feed and nourish new forms, new life, new consciousness, Thus the cycle continues eternal, no thing truly lost, all things truly one. …And now, open your eyes; feel the warmth, the love and the light of those around you. Let us now begin the ancient rite. Call ye now the powers of the Lord and the Lady, invoke the Force with ourselves and know that that which can be desired can be manifested. Call ye now and be reborn …”

I put my crystals that need to be charged in the ground days ago, and putting my goals for the next years by casting spells, starting this month, and it was a really powerful month to see spirits to great them–very powerful year. I have to loosen a few cords to continue my path. It has been a busy year. I will celebrate to goodness of our ancestors and great spirits. Lords and ladies, alive and the one that crossed over.
Happy Samhain’s day only good to you.

It sounds to me that you are pretty well prepared. I love Samhain and the thought our ancestors are able to return to us one more time. It seems to me that the entire month of October just sizzles and pops with energy. You can feel it grow all month long. I have a few rituals planned that I have saved for tomorrow night. Probably be up half the night but it will be well worth it. I wish you a very magickal and mystical Samhain, dear brother.
Blessings, Peace & Comfort to you & yours in the New Year to come,
Lady A
