Samhain at Four Quarters

The Ancestors still speak...

October 28-30th, 2011

The wind has turned cool...the leaves crunch beneath our feet. The trees are bare and the world around us begins to shrink away, preparing for the cold of winter and the long dark. But before the dark is fully upon us we join together, to speak of our Ancestors; to recall to ourselves and our Tribe the great stories of what has passed; to work together for our future, and to catch, perhaps, a whisper on the wind.

The Stones stand tall, holding vigil as night falls. The crypt is open, lit by candles and steeped in memory. We stand together, in Circle, and sing old familiar songs. And we remember...
