Fire!

Had an awesome weekend, complete with our Samhain ritual, and cuddle time with the coven and friends. Of course, Sunday I promptly came down with a cold, and did absolutely jackall, but it was still a good weekend.

The lovely Earthkat was kind enough to put video of part of our ritual up for public consumption. Since Samhain is the beginning of the Celtic calendar, we like to get rid of negativity before the new year gets started. We do this by writing the things we need to get rid of on flash paper, and stuffing it into a gutted pumpkin with the smallest possible hole carved in the top. Then, we light it, and burn away the bad stuff.

Bonus fries, is that no one will remember a damn thing about the ritual other than the negativity pumpkin. I invoked, we had a good ritual, but dammmit, the pumpkin was awesome.

Reminds me of Beavis and Butthead. "Fire fire heh heh."

Uh, anyway. Good to see your Samhain was fun.

Are we related? I had my Samhain ritual on Wednesday night and yeah, came down with a flue the very next day. What a way to start the new year, huh?

Anyway, happy new year, ladies!!

And that pumpkin going up in flames? Dean would have been proud!!

Sorry about the cold. I got it the weekend before. I thought I was done with the contagious thing, but apparently not. Sorry again.
