All Hallows Eve…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The edge of winter wrapping itself around me…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Slowly creeping into my bones…<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

as the old woman of the land approaches.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"samhaingreetings2013r4pg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight powerful energies flow between the worlds<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

As the golden amber veil thins and parts….<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

offering us a glimpse into the mysterious otherworld<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The warm glow of candlelight in the window<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A\u00a0 sign of welcome for our\u00a0 ancestors who draw near on this night<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Cakes, cookies, homemade bread and other treats to delight<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Waiting on a lovingly decorated table.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight we will release that which is no longer needed<\/span>
\n in our lives into the flickering flames of our hearth fires<\/span>
\n We will treasure the hard earned lessons of the past year<\/span>
\n and carry those into the coming new year.<\/span>
\n Blessings to you and your loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wishing you love, peace, healing<\/strong>
\n\u00a0and joyous new beginnings<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 for this Celtic New Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Those who have died have never, never left;<\/strong><\/span>
\nthe dead are not under the earth,<\/strong><\/span>
\nThey are in the rustling trees, <\/strong><\/span>
\nthey are in the groaning woods<\/strong><\/span>
\nthey are in the crying winds <\/strong><\/span>
\nthey are in the moaning rocks<\/strong><\/span>
\nthe dead are not under the earth<\/strong><\/span>
\nTis the ancestors’ breath<\/strong><\/span>
\nwhen the fire’s voice is herd,<\/strong><\/span>
\nTis’ the ancestors’ breath<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0in the voice of the water<\/strong><\/span>
\nListen more often to things than to beings.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryday Goddessing\u00a0 is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other<\/span>
\n beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess,<\/span>
\n a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything<\/span>
\n we need and are looking for is already inside\u00a0 each of us.\u201d ~ rose arizmendi<\/span><\/p>\n
