Holiday Wishes..

I’m so late getting a Yule greeting up this year. Then again, I’m always late when it comes to posting on this blog. ;) Rather than re-posting my Yule/Christmas articles from The Pagan & The Pen, I’ll send you over there. Everyone’s been real busy posting their work, so take your time and browse around. You won’t be disappointed!
May all the brightest of blessings grace your lives this holiday season, no matter what the celebration you take part in.
It was less than a week following Samhain, in 2000. My girls were clamoring for the Christmas tree to be put up, and presents to be put under it. Amazingly enough, once told that it was still seven weeks before Christmas and that was a long time to wait and not open those presents, they relented. Just a little…

In September of 2003, I lost the man who was everything to me growing up. My grandfather was as close to a father as I would get, and he was probably one of the strongest men I’ve ever known. From late 2001 until his passing, he went through a great many changes in his life, and his strength was sapped beyond repair.

In years past, my mother, grandmother and I would do vast amounts of dainties; from miniature butter tarts to easy as a breeze no-bake cookies, at least 1200 treats graced the tables between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. Nothing like homemade butter tarts, trust me!

Happy Samhain!

Happy Samhain everyone!
Tonight is the night to honor the god’s passage to the underworld where he is welcomed by his consort and those who have gone before.
It is our night to honor our ancestors newly passed and older, to remind them of the love and respect shared with them from the land of the living.
I hope everyone has a safe and productive ritual night and a blessed new year. Blessed be!
Samhain Prayer – Scott Cunningham
On this night of Samhain I mark your passing, O Sun King,
through the sunset into the Land of the Young.
I mark also the passing of all who have gone before,
and all who will go after.
O Gracious Goddess, Eternal Mother,
You who gives birth to the fallen,
teach me to know that in the time of
the greatest darkness there is the greatest light.
Change in the seasons…

It’s hard to believe only a brief few weeks ago we were hovering in the 25 C-plus area for temperatures, when today it’s -3.
When I looked out the window this morning, there was snow on the ground. How depressing to see Gaia’s blanket so early in the year, although it is rumored that the earlier it starts, the earlier it disappears in spring. That would be nice, a warm Beltaine to look forward to.
Glas Celli has celebrated it’s 9th year as a grove, and I imagine our 10th anniversary will be something to behold. The last six months have been so very busy here at the Morrighan/Artemis/Draco hold that we’ve rarely had time even for coffee with the folks, but now that winter is settling in and projects are steaming smoothly towards launch and settling into their own grooves, we’re going to rectify that.
With this change in our lives, I thought it a good time to mention that you’ll be seeing some changes here at Sacred Triskele. I’ve applied to insert ad boxes from Project Wonderful; if approved, I will be including a box for minis (button banners) in the side bar, and a full-size banner at the foot of every article/blog post. These spots will support The New Bedlam Project, which is my online fiction webzine. If you haven’t stopped by there, you should – we’ve had some amazing talent visit our little corner of the world. If you’re a writer, you really should consider sending us something – check out our guidelines – we’re not all horror! I’d certainly love to see other genres, particularly with a pagan leaning…
With that, I’ll leave you for today. I won’t make promises of posting more often, although I am certainly hoping to. :)
