The Pagan's Journey
I always loved Halloween. I looked forward to it with such anticipation. The costumes and the candy might have had something to do with it but somehow that dark night in October held Magic and I could feel it..I had no clue that the Pagan traditions thought the veil between the worlds was thin during this time and energies passed back and forth. I didn't know the meaning of the word Halloween or even that the word Samhain existed. I was a boy and I do know what I felt. I felt power. I felt a movement in that darkness. I felt alive and filled with a spirit. I ran through the streets of my little town in Maine with passion. My eyes a blaze and my cheeks rosy warmed from my rnning and the cool crisp air. There was magic to be had that night and I didn't want to miss any of it.
It wasn't until later as I went to school and learned about mythology that I was brought the knowledge of what Halloween was all about. Now with the Internet I probably know more than I need but I still can't seem to get enough. Back then I would go to the library and read all they had about it which was not much. That curiosity propelled me into other subjects of interest along Pagan lines. Still I was just a child and I was just reacting to the reality I was feeling. I felt something on Halloween Night that I never felt anywhere else. Even today I await it with much anticipation. Today it holds so much more value to me as I now know it's true history. Thanks for reading .
Blessed Be!
