Halloween

[fluffymark]

Halloween involved lots of pretty carved pumpkins, candles, good music, nice people and party food. Yay! I'd even gothed up to college during the day, which got odd looks from the students I'm teaching, but they didn't run away screaming. Obviously I should try harder next year. *grin*

I'd been planning to perform just a small simple samhain prayer this year, when I got home, but when midnight came, I'd already felt an strong desire to go for something more elaborate. I take a very liberal view on these things, to the extent I was using jellybeans and Lemsip as offerings, which I admit is unusual, but they were the only things to hand. I had a very unexpected calling to the Samhain flame, and I'm still weirded out by that encounter. It was however, deeply moving, and very calming. I spread the seeds of new ideas, which are already bearing fruit and coming true (hooray!) and have high hopes for the future now. Old thoughts have hopefully been buried now. Still, I'm touched by what happened. *peacefulsmile*

It was good, and I think a first step to regaining my individuality again. My worship is totally spontaneous and totally me - I don't as a rule follow rules or rituals, I adapt and create new ones to suit the mood and situation. It's also got me in the right mindset to challege other aspects of my life that have begun to go stale.
