Excerpt from Patreon – The week begins with the Pagan festival of Samhain in the Northern Hemisphere on October 31 and of course the modern version of Halloween. Whilst the latter is highly commercialised, it has its roots in the former which was exported to America from Europe. Traditionally, this is a time to honour the dead, remember loved ones who have passed, remember too our ancestors, stretching back through time – thousands upon thousands. All these people somehow found one another, connected, mated, produced a child and then again and again and again until here you are – wow, how magical is that!
At Samhain, I read the list of names of my grandmothers, back to the 16th century, making sure they know they are not forgotten, even if I never knew them in life. This is also a time to give thanks for the last harvest, the bounty of Mother Earth. Technically, astrological Samhain occurs in the midst of Scorpio season, when the Sun hits 15 degrees of Scorpio. This year that will be on November 7.
