Brighid and Samhain
« on: September 27, 2014, 09:10:44 am »
Hi all!

I wonder for those of you who celebrate Samhain (or any holiday around that time), do you bring Brighid into your celebrations? For Samhain this year I'm contemplating honoring Brighid in Her role as keener for the dead and the light of the lantern in dark places.
Maker, though the darkness comes upon me,
I shall embrace the light. I shall weather the storm.
I shall endure.
What you have created, no one can tear asunder.

-Canticle of Trials 1:10

I will be incorporating Brighid into my Samhain celebrations as the mournful mother, maybe work in something to do with the Cailleach. I figure I'll do some divination, write a related poem/short story, bake some bannocks, and do whatever else that seems appropriate for the holiday. Whatever the celebrations are, they'll be small, since I'm solitary.
