Words from such a Brilliant Women...and I am at a loss of words myself to respond to what you have just written Bonny, If I only had a *Thimble-full* of how well you articulate I would be dancin Well done on such a very moving work of words my dear one!!!!!

Thank you Ruth that does all make alot of sense and I thought that it would have to be of course more of a personal thing...on that night, we will bring love into the picture in the name of the Lady and her Lord and I look forward to that with my beloved. But again thank you for your words and I am glad that you have this *thread* where like minded people can gather and share ideas, stories and wonderful information.

Goddess Love & Light
Blessed Be my loves

Hey all,
A question for any of those who walk the pagan path. I am just learning to become Pagan, I have always had an interest. Having Native in my bloodline, I find it so similiar in many ways. Heres the deal....now I have just gone out today in fact and bought a book called: Paganism by*Joyce & River Higginbotham...I hope it will be informative for any questions, but ok back to my question (sorry gettin carried away with excitement...hehe) What kind of an Alter should I have for Samhain? I would appreciate any help so I can plan getting things ready.

Soft candle light dancing
Upon the wall
Waiting for our call
To the Lady and her Lord
To do all things in their accord...

The Love we share
As once of old
Those moments
That have already
Been foretold...

To spend this Magik night
On Samhain's Eve
To light those candles once again
To feel the passion in our Hearts
To blend as one as if from the start...

So on this night
I give my Love
I give myself to you
Forever and a...day
Let our Hearts become as one
Let our Souls reunite...

Let the Lady and the Lord
Embrace our Love tonight

**Dedicated to my Beloved, Carlos**

***WE ARE ONE***

I pray we, all the children of the Earth, no matter our path to enlightenment, come to realize that we are one. We may walk our paths, but we are not alone, for we walk at the same time, towards the same end/beginning. From our individual perspectives, be we Pagan, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddist, Taoist,or Hindu, all the same. I pray that we will feel the love of our Creator(s)and by example learn to see each other as brothers and sisters allowing the boundary lines of Religion to fade away. May the Lord and the Lady bless your path. May you always have enough, and may you give enough in return.
Blessed Be

Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.

Even the rocks which seem to be dumb,and dead as they swelter in the sun along the silent shore, thrill with memories of stirring events connected with the lives of my people. And the dust upon which you now stand responds more lovingly to their footsteps than to yours, because it is rich with the blood of our ancestors and our bare feet are conscious of the sympathetic touch.

**AUTUMN MOON**

Summer Moons grow to ripeness as the season moves towards fall. The powers of the Autumn Moons grow rapidly. They hurry the crops and the creatures, filling them with a sense of urgency. Ripeness seems to appear in an instant, after long months of promise. Autumn Moons glow warm and abundant. They are the Moons of community and co-operation. All are busy. Some grasping at the last tendrils of summer, wanting to hold back the ever changing cycle, while others move quickly in a dance of Winter preparation. Over all, the mesmerizing light of the Autumnal Moons shed a golden glow.
A time of passages and maturity. The Autumn Moon bring the blessing of harvest and understanding. Insights are keen, and learning is rapid. Sharing and drawing together in celebration, weaves the fabric of community. It also is a time of awareness, a time to see the fragility of all things, to reflect on the seasons. What will you harvest to share with others?

**THE CRONE AUTUMN**

The fields are flat, the days grow short
The nights are soft as velvet
Abundance is stored as
Birds fly and creatures burrow
Days crisply snap, and Magik crackles in the air
Some pass over, and some transform, journeying.

Thank you everyone for your kindness that means alot to me...

From tranquil waters
Drink of my soul, my Beloved
Release my spirit
And let my spirit
Soar next to yours...

Let us not look
Behind to what was--

But let us look
Ahead to what is--

My hand is reaching
Out to yours
And in my hand
I hold my heart
To give to you
Upon this day
When you took
My sadness all away
