This year
spring greets us
with a blanket of snow.
May it nourish the earth
and soothe our aching hearts.
May we hold the golden light
of the witch hazel leaves
in our hearts as the days shorten
and we welcome the new year.
In the Celtic calendar, Samhain (pronounced sow-in) is the first day of winter and the first day of the Celtic new year. The seasons begin on the cross-quarter days, the midpoints between the equinoxes and solstices.
It is Lammas, Lughnasadh, the first day of Celtic Autumn.
Let us open our hearts to nature’s beauty and nurture the light within.

The Celtic calendar helps us understand
that light and dark are intertwined,
that the longest day begins
the journey to the longest night.
Let us circle through the year
in communion with nature and each other.
For summer is a'comin' today
And whither we are going
We all will unite
In the merry month of May
Let us join together
to share nature's rebirth
and support each other
in these difficult times.
