Many years ago I used to feel out of synch... then I discovered the pagan wheel of the year. I rediscovered the seasons and their meaning. I found out why I love autumn...
My Halloween / Samhain thought list:
* I will think back over the year past, read old journal entries, be glad for what I have, learn from my mistakes...
*"On the night of Samhain the veil between the spiritual world and the physical world is at it's thinnest. " So I know those who are gone are hovering just over my shoulder, helping me daily and giving me little pointers, little visions...
* I will fill the house with squashs and pumpkins and branches, leaves and seeds from our walks.
*I have a new notebook to list everything I want to achieve next year. It will slowly fill ... and come february I will be ready to start acting on it... I call the list my 'seeds to grow'...
* I have new candles to burn.
crunch crunch crunch, the leaves underfoot.
I love these ideas! I completely agree that it is important and so lovely to mark the seasons - and autumn is my favourite. I already have conkers sitting on my coffee table :)
ReplyDeletewonderful idea! i buy new candles every autumn. there's nothing like the smell of pumpkin pie candles burning on my mantle with the cool air all around. have a lovely day! xoxo
