Samhain blessings for All Souls
The leaf colours endeavour to flavour the taste of the shadows before us.
The thinned veil delivers a shiver to embrace the lives of those who came before us.
All souls held and have held.
All souls held and let go .
May we be willing in holding to release too.
May our awareness of all that is shower a justice

We praise and thank you for the element of Fire: Great Sun, who has
Chalice lighting for Samhain / All Souls
Many before us have sought the light of understanding
Heretics, witches, lovers of freedom
This chalice symbolises the communion of Jan Hus
and the lamp upon the altars of ancient Greece.
This flame represents the light of hope
kindled by the dreamers and visionaries of the past
which we must carry into the future.
