Samhain was just glorious this year, I hope everyone had a wonderful experience!  The evening was pleasant, we handed out candy to the children and teenagers.  They were all fabulous!  We had lots of TMNT's, Spidermans, princesses, one Rainbow Bright, and a collection of others.  After the mass onslaught twindled into nothingness, we had a beautiful ritual at home.  We are all links in this great chain of life, blessing children and honoring our ancestors at least one night a year is the least we can do!

Aaron was too pooped to participate, which is okay since Wicca isn't exactly his thing, but when is up to it he does particpate.  Anyways, I lead the circle with a dear friend from my old coven.  He was just perfect.  We had 2 other particpants.  So it was small and intimate, just like it I wanted it to be.  We called the Ekos, dedicated the elements,, censed and aspurged everyone, including Gypsy!  As I made my way around the circle, she just looked at me like "Well, aren't you going to do me too?"  So I aspurged her and my HP censed her!  We finished up with  that cast and had our ritual.  When we opened the Western Gate for our ancestors and loved ones, Gypsy stood at the altar looking out into the darkness! 

She's been in with before when doing ritual, but I always thought it was because so wanted to be with me and those particpating.  While I think that is partly the case, she is such a people person after all!  Now I am sure that she is a very Witchy dog!  She was just amazing, my friend and talked about her participation all day today! 

Hey, if dogs are good enough for Hecate.  Well they are certainly good enough for me!

Here's to our Ancestors, the Gods, our loved ones - living and pssed, and all of our familiars whatever their species!

Happy Samhain & Happy New Year, One and All!
