Bright Blessings on this Samhain

It is Summer's End! Samhain is one of the most holy nights of the year for Celts. I wish everyone Bright Blessings and good fortune for the upcoming year. Today is the day when the border between this world and the Otherworld is weak and the spirits of the dead can come into our world freely. This is not to be confused with the Summer Solstice, in which the veil is also weak and the Aoi Sidhe can cross into our domain. Aoi Sidhe are the decedents of the gods. In my culture, we also have "ghost dancers", at least this is how I translate it. The dancers paint their bodies with white mud, and dance naked or nearly naked. If you have ever witnessed the Sankai Juku dancers in Japan, then that is very similar to the Ghost Dancers. Samhain is held for three nights, 30, 31, and 1. It is the midpoint between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice, at least on the lunar calendar. Celts used both a Solar and Lunar Calendar to mark the dates. On Samhain the Feile na Marbh, or Festival of the Dead, in which we honor and celebrate the live of those who have passed before us. As well as, the death of nature and the end of the harvest.
