Samhain is a Celebration for All Hallows Eve, or “summer’s end” and tells us that winter will soon be upon us. For Wiccans, this is the beginning of a new year and time to reflect on the old year and look forward to a new year. From ancient times, it is the end of Harvest Time and time to rejoice in life and survival. Samhain is a time of festivals heralding the colors of black and orange, obsidian, onyx, apples, catnip, corn, pears, squash, and wormwood. All Hallows Eve or Halloween (as we know it) is also referred to in different cultures as Blood Feast, Celtic New Year, Day of the Dead, Last Harvest, and Winter’s Eve.
The Witch of his dreams,
Her eyes, a forest green,
Her hair, dark and long,
Her voice, a sweet magic,
He could not help but watch her,
Dance among the daisies,
Beneath a waxing moon,
She whirls and cast her spells,
A haunting chant she sings,
And soars into his soul,
On gossamer wings,
She whispers things he wants to hear,
Of secret longings in his ear,
She enchants him with delights,
And leaves him breathless with her kisses,
Craving her embraces,
She tells him of her love,
And casts her spell upon him,
To love him, evermore,
His heart she steals, forever,
The Witch of His Dreams
