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.

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.

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 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.
