So the countdown begins! Everyone I know is getting in the holiday spirit, decorating and busily making costumes, planning for their Samhain celebrations.

If you live in the Boston area, you should attend the Samhain Celebration led by Christopher Penczak, hosted by Unicorn Books on Saturday, October 28.

Celebrate the Celtic New Year and Festival of the Dead. On this day the veils between the worlds are said to be the thinnest. Make peace with the shadow and receive wisdom from the ancestors. Honor the Goddess and God of the Underworld. Bring a crystal or black mirror for scrying, and if you would like, a photo or memento from an ancestor. Respectful festive dress for the season encouraged, including ritual robe or magickal costume.

I'll be in San Francisco for the weekend to attend a wedding (this is the second pair of people I know who have been married for Halloween!). San Francisco does Halloween well, so I'm sure it will be fun and festive. I'll be traveling on the day itself, but back in time for witching hour. I'm hoping to get together with some friends for a private ritual since I'll miss Christopher's on Saturday.

What are you planning for the holiday?
