Samhain starts


Last night saw many tricks and treats as children took unwittingly celebrated one of the most significant sabats of the year. Now we have moved to the start of a new year, and this is a time for reflection and planning as we take stock of the harvest gathered from our labours over the past year and after a short rest begin to make plans for the coming year.
In the Daughter Dedanan and the Cauldron of Undry the young heroine passes over into the Ortherworld on Samhain, whisked away by banshees on the back of a wild boar. It's a great story, tied to the legends of an Ireland that is sadly no more.
