Today, I celebrate my New year as a witch. Tomorrow, my first task on the first day of my fifth year with witchcraft, is to write about the beautiful ritual that my husband and I shared this afternoon.
I have good pictures, too. But for now, my writing concerns the new response system for Covid-19. There are five steps. We are at step 3, where step 4 and five happen when the shit hits the fan.
It is meant to be used once a week to be able to respond quickly to the rapid changes with this damned Coronavirus. Pardon my French and bear over with me, I ask the Universe to end this strange year soon.
My anxiety rests calmly in its corner, my bipolar disorder allows me to use my extra energy wisely, and my other ailments cooperate as well. And, speaking frankly, I need to divert myself even on a perfect day.
So, this post is my interpretation of Samhain. Samhain is like New Year´s Eve to me. At this time of year, I renew my pledge to be a witch, I let go of what no longer serves me, and I celebrate the completion of the year.
Everything is different outside my home and my witch´s den. Samhain is also known as the third harvest, where sacrifices are made to ensure good harvest next year.
My sacrifice is my bottles of collected rain water from 2020. Mother Earth shakes us humans, perhaps to remind us that we are not alone to decide the future on this blue planet. I will sacrifice Sunday morning.
Samhain is a time to remember our ancestors who went before us in life. Their day is today. Therefore, remembrance and memories are in our thoughts this weekend.
I will write part two about the ritual itself tomorrow. To be honest, I´m too tired mentally today to write more than a few lines. I also choose a longer nap after the ritual today.
And, I have a creative date with my dear friend right after this. We will work with a sewing machine, drawings, and glue and glitter. We will talk about what matters the most. And we will laugh and cry together.
The perfect way to relax after a rather demanding ritual with plenty of positive energy and careful preparations. All the good stuff were on my three altars, and lit candles made it cozy and pleasant to be present.
So, may you enjoy a happy Halloween, dear readers and followers. And may the world be freed from the threat of the Coronavirus and all the bullshit in its wake.
So it is. Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again.
