Odd, how the veils are getting so thin just as America finds itself at the genus locii of my patroness: the crossroads where Hecate stands with her several-headed dogs.
I have too much to do between now and ground zero of the year when my HP sits us down to a dumb supper and calls our ancestors to sup with us.
One of my dearest friends passed this year. And when I got out my Halloween decorations, I saw a stuffed vulture toy I once decorated with a "tattoo" with his initials. I always used to tease my friend about how the vultures would find him tasty. Oh, how I hope he is soaring with them now!
A blessed Samhain to you, my friend in DC. We are assured of seeing some kind of history made next week.
As I age from the matron to the crone I'm losing too many every year. This year I've lost Flash, who lived a full life and I'm sure flew to the spirit on the force of her smile. I lost two more too soon, Hal unexpectedly and Roy who went in peace. Goddess rest all their dear souls.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Luckily I haven't lost any loved ones this year..
