Greybeards Samhain Midnight
By Staff Writer:Paganus Greybeard
Midnight. The infamous witching hour. A moment between moments
between the worlds. This Greybeard prefers to celebrate this hour from
23:30 /11:30 p. to 00:30 / 12:30 a. Circles are raised and workings are
worked. This Greybeard is not hiding anything. Despite what the often
overly excitable evangelicals would want you to hear and believe
doing magick or even a simple and basic working or sharing in the
quiet hours of the night is not of the Darkness or Evil. It is
simply a better, quieter time. This Greybeard can concentrate without as
many disruptions or distractions. It is for me simply a better time
to work.
One of the more important Nights to do a working with as few
distractions and disruptions is Samhain {Sow-ween}. On this Night in
this moment between moments between the worlds I did my first ever
working. It was very basic. I was not even working from written, prepared
notes. I was very new to both MysticWitch.com and my Chaotic Eclectic
status. Chaotic? To be sure. To be very sure!…. Eclectic? That too!
Complicated confusion from many different places and sources.
I had no idea what I was doing. I also knew it did not matter.
I honoured the Living.
I honoured the Departed.
I honoured the Lord & Lady.
It was over and done with in less than three (3) to five (5) minutes.
It was my first working.
On the 31st of this October month Samhain is again observed and
celebrated. this year I will again in a moment between moments between
the worlds honour the Living and the Departed.
I will also honour the Lord & Lady.
We all develop our own personal traditions. As your Paganus GreybeardI
am no different. I will again for the 2nd time do the working
impromptu. No preparation. No planning. I will assemble what is needed
and do the working. I have no idea what I will be doing. That is part of
my developing tradition that I not know what I am to do much before the
moment of the working.
I write workings.
I do workings.
On this Samhain {Sow-ween} Night I will again do a working
spontaneously. It will be done as my Guides, Guardians and Muses inspire
and direct me to do. As the all the Children of the local neighborhoods wander
throuh the community with their bags and baskets Ill be spending time
with the Lord and Lady and my recently departed.
Ill especially be spending time with Patty-Cat.
She who may so very soon be the White Cat Ascendant.
Light the Candles.
Present the Offerings to the Gods and Goddesses.
Honour The Living.
Remember the Departed.
Samhain is the Night of the Ancestors.
Ill do a simple working.
Will you?…..
