  1. Happy New Year. Thought you might like this. Sent to me a couple of days ago..

    Samhain is here now and all’s gathered in,

    the fruits are in store for the dark days ahead;

    it’s time now to celebrate all that is given

    and thank Mother Nature for keeping us fed.

    Faeries bring offerings, berries and grain,

    offer them up to the spirits of earth.

    This is the start of the Celtic New Year,

    awaiting the Spring and a time of rebirth.

    All must bring something, no matter how small.

    Pixies and elven folk, goblins and gnomes,

    have all been collecting and gathering food

    and cleaning the rooms in their small woodland homes.

    For humans and faerie folk have this in common:

    all must remember to open their hearts,

    filling the world with a spirit of thankfulness,

    sharing the bounty before Winter starts.

    The first of November is when it all happens,

    days are now shorter and getting quite dark;

    no more is heard the quaint call of the cuckoo

    but still we are thrilled by the song of the lark.

    Watch with me now as the faerie folk gather,

    bringing their offerings into the glade.

    Keep yourself hidden, these things are a secret,

    humans must stay very much in the shade.

    There stands the wizard, ancient and noble,

    here come the faerie folk, hear them intone,

    each of them making their annual pilgrimage,

    each of them making their gratitude known.

    Thanksgiving over, they’ll stay for festivities,

    wishing each other a Happy Samhain,

    drinking a toast to the spirits of ancestors,

    those who have brought them success once again.
