I've been working on the Samhain list -- those who've gone since last Nov.1. This one is pretty hard for me, having to stop every couple of months and regroup. Once I put his name on the list, I had to accept that Greg Lake died last December. I was in denial.

I could really use some virtual hugs. :sad:

((((Tery))))

If I might ask, is there some ceremony or ritual that will happen with the list? Sending you peaceful vibes.

I knew my Tet would be here for me. :love_heart:

do1you9love? On Samhain we honor the beloved dead. I place the list on my altar and leave an offering overnight. Sometimes we do an actual ritual but being a Solitary (whose Hubby gets home rather late), I usually just spend the day remembering.
On our Halloween we dont mess around with pumpkins and stuff. Our tradition is more solemn. We place a light at our loved ones graves. It is common all over Sweden. A churchyard can look like this in the evening.

We manage to do both. One is religious and the other is just fun. Goodnight - and thanks for the beautiful picture. :)

I like that idea Kurb! Lovely.
We have a book of the dead placed at the Paschal candle (lit). We all list our beloved dead there and the Mass is for them on Nov 2nd.

Ah Tet, missing you so. Mayhap someday we'll meet and can have a warm beverage and palaver in real time. October is a banshee as is the norm. It used to be my favorite month - cold, stormy, dark early. But for 3 years going, it's been a booger. This year it's been hot, dry and the damn sun shines all the effing time. Every time the phone rings it's more bad news. Imma quit answerin'. I'm calling it the little red God of Calamity. I need someone to hollar it out of me, smash it with something. Bring me a valium, a vodka, a beach! But in spite of it all, I'm good. The people I love, some not doing so good. I wish I could save them from themselves.

Anyhow, I keep trying to get on here, read the Halloween story, catch up a bit. Doesn't happen. I sit down and immediately want to sleep. Sleep is a cure. I do read about you all and think of you all when I can at work, but I dassn't log on - I'd get sucked in and no work would get done.

Be well all. Love yer people. Say a prayer for peace over my way and I'll do the same for you.
Blessed be!

Hollies - hold my hand. Peace on your way. Or we could drink wine and laugh. My couch is small - but we can invite others. Crowed in.
I can order popcorn. Or someone has to get up.

hugs.
