Blessed Samhain!

Tonight is Samhain, when the Wheel of Year turns again and the veil between the physical and the spirit worlds is thinnest. May the blessing of the Goddess and God be upon you this night, and the memories of those who passed from Life be alive once again in your heart.   Blessed Be!
