I watch the brightly colored leaves<\/p>\n
Blow in the last of daylights Autumn breeze<\/p>\n
The sun has finally left the sky<\/p>\n
And now at last the time is nigh<\/p>\n
In an outdoor cauldron<\/p>\n
I lay the fire<\/p>\n
With sacred herbs and wood<\/p>\n
And conjure loved ones memories<\/p>\n
Be they bad or good<\/p>\n
I smile, I laugh,sometimes I cry<\/p>\n
And every year I question why<\/p>\n
Life’s lessons are so hard to learn<\/p>\n
And I sit and watch the fire burn<\/p>\n
The hours pass, I’m unaware<\/p>\n
On this Samhain of a Solitaire<\/p>\n
But the lessons learned<\/p>\n
I’m proud to say<\/p>\n
Have made me who I am today.<\/p>\n
Here are a couple of herbal blends that are specifically for Samhain.\u00a0 They can either be burned as incense or added to the fire, when added to the fire however you lose the purity of the fragrance.<\/p>\n
Samhain 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Equal parts nettles, bayleaf,calendula,tarragon,sage,oak leaf and 2 drops of Frankincense or Myrrh oil.<\/p>\n Samhain 2<\/strong><\/p>\n Bay leaves, nutmeg, sage.\u00a0 This blend also works well when contacting your personal spirit guide.<\/p>\n If you add oak leaves and nettle to the fire all the better.\u00a0 It is sometimes possible to obtain really large bags of sage at pow-wows or occult stores at a super reasonable price and that’s a great additive to the fire as well, although it does produce a lot of pungent smoke.\u00a0 However you choose to mark this important occassion have a Blessed Samhain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I watch the brightly colored leaves Blow in the last of daylights Autumn breeze The sun has finally left the sky And now at last the time is nigh In an outdoor cauldron I lay the fire With sacred herbs and wood And conjure loved ones memories Be they bad or good I smile, I laugh,sometimes I cry And every year I question why Life’s lessons are so hard to learn And I sit and watch the fire burn The hours pass, I’m unaware On this Samhain of a Solitaire But the lessons learned I’m proud to say Have made me who I am today.
