Blessed Samhian to you!

I invite you to enjoy this blessed day at the end of the harvest. To feast with family and friends. Celebrate what this beautiful earth has provided. To live and laugh through song and dance.

Tonight we honor our ancestors. Spirits of our fathers and mothers, I call to you, and welcome you to join us for this night. You watch over us always, protecting and guiding us, and tonight I thank you.

Trick or treat!! Can i get smth with Leman Russ? Like, do you think the space wolves have a Samhian/"The Wild Hunt" tradition?

Fenris is a world where its half boiling lava hot and half freezing ice death, and though life only lives on the caps wjere its cold but survivable, they probably would hold a season change festival since its such a big thing!

It would probably be more like álfablót, or scandinavian "elf saccrifice" which is a late autumn feast, Samhain is Celtic :)

[questionmarksys]

Happy Halloween, Happy Samhian, Happy Día de los muertos, Happy All saint's day, Happy All souls's day, Happy all other holidays I missed

Feel free to add other holidays, I mostly only know holidays from countries in the americas.

1. I have a weird thing about cryptids and monsters, bloody love them - give me a kaiju movie, a fuzzy blanket and some chocolate and I'm anyones.

2. My favourite horror movie is Halloween (1978) - I went to see the original at the cinema last year and it was so amazing to hear the John Carpenter opening theme on the big screen! 🎃

3. My favourite season is autumn 🍂 Samhian being my favourite festival and time of year - I love nothing more then a cozy blanket, big thick jumpers and big boots.

3. I love anything to do with the Occult, books, music and histories, it all really interests me.

4. I am a non-theistic Satanist - it's a big part of my life and has been for a few years now and my faith means a lot to me. I am consistently challenging myself, learning and improving. Satanism saved me in many ways.

3. I have fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, social anxiety disorder and ADHD with suspected autism - which unfortunately leave me housebound, a lot of the time. My interests are my life really. 🖤

4. I live in the north of the UK - very near to Manchester.

6. I was a music photographer for 11 years and the biggest band I photographed was Metallica. I also got to shoot my favourite band Ghost on their first ever headline festival appearance in the UK. I was the proudest ever Ghestie that day.

7. Ghost has been in my life for 11 years and I could never see that changing. I love them dearly and they complete me.

8. My favourite papa’s (can't pick one) - Secondo and Copia. I also love Terzo too, because he was the first papa I got to photograph. My favourite ghouls are Sodo and Swiss, they do weird things to me. 🙈

An Artificial Night Re-Read: Part 3

Hello again! Onto part 3:

Chapter Seven:

'The odds are against me ever having a knowe of my own' I don't know, Toby, I think there's at least a non-zero chance at this point.

Toby's definitely gotten better at eating whenever she can than she is in this book.

I wonder if Fetch's names are always connected to the person they've copied.

Did Sylvester mention Amandine because he thought she wouldn't like Luna sending Toby into danger, or because he thought she'd be able to stop Blind Michael?

Okay, it makes more sense that Toby was so blase about Blind Michael in the first book if most of the time he was 'old man yelling to get off his lawn' levels of nuisance.

I'm honestly super curious about what Luna's relationship with the Luidaeg looks like. Luna's Blind Michael and Acacia's daughter, so does Luidaeg fight with herself about liking a descendant of Titania, or is Luna being a child of her favourite brother enough to make her at least neutral to her? Luna seemed okay enough with her that she wasn't worried about sending Toby to the Luidaeg for help; have they interacted with each other at all? Or do they politely pretend that the other one doesn't exist?

Chapter Eight:

Can we talk about how Toby and Luidaeg have only known each other for, what - two years? A year and a half? - and Luidaeg already feels comfortable enough with Toby that she doesn't assume that Toby's calling because she needs her? I know Luidaeg is terrifying, but her capacity to love is pretty awe-inspiring.

Also Luidaeg has to help kill her brother! Her favourite brother, one of her only siblings left, because she knew her brother would eventually become a monster and she's the only one who can make sure Toby has a chance to do it.

Luidaeg calls Toby a child of Oberon and Toby ignores it. Luidaeg might not have given the most direct hints, but she really did try to tell Toby about her heritage when she could.

"He'll hold them until Halloween night... and then they'll Ride. It's [Blind Michael's] way of remembering our mother. Her Rides were always held on Samhian night." This is kind of surprising to me, given that we just learned in the latest short story that part of the reason he became Blind Michael in the first place is because he went to his mother for vengeance after his children were murdered and she turned him away.

I have to try to pay attention to when a fancy knife is described now, just in case the knife Luidaeg commissioned to kill Eira with shows up.

Chapter Nine:

Raj!!!! I forgot how many characters we were introduced to in this book!

OOF, Raj is having a *bad* day. Have Raj, Dean and Chelsea argued over who was having a worse time when the met Toby?

Chapter Ten:

"The Luidaeg is the only Firstborn I've ever dealt with on a regular basis, and her power is subtle, damped down until she can seem human to the casual observer. [Acacia's] power wasn't hidden at all." Given that Toby's regularly been around *two* other Firstborns at this point, this makes me wonder how Amandine and Evening were able to hide what they were for so long. I could see Amandine being able to hide her power through some type of blood magic, but what about Eira? Part of it could've been explained by Toby just not having a good grasp on what a normal Daoine Sidhe's powers looked like compared to Evening, but Evening hid it from *everyone*. Were her illusions just that good?

"It's Raj. I... the forest is very dark." Oh noooooo Raj would HATE it but I want to bundle him up in a blanket and hug hiiiiiiim

'"My father says Uncle Tybalt's friend October is an adult." He paused. "And a hussy."' I realize there's no way I could've appreciated this enough the first time I read this, given we hadn't met Samson yet, but this is seriously SO funny. I desperately want to know what Tybalt's behaviour looks like from his Court's perspective during this time period.

Chapter Eleven:

"[Blind Michael] hadn't just changed them on the outside. He'd changed them all the way down to the bone." Do we know what Blind Michael's first children were/what they could do? What Toby's doing here sounds like some kind of blood magic, but I don't think Maeve's descendants are really known for that; plus, everything Toby's ever about her powers are that you can take away a bloodline but you can't add one, which is exactly what it sounds like Blind Michael did. Is it just a really extreme form of transformation?

There's something extra brutal about Blind Michael taking one of the few Roane left, possibly during one of his first Rides. I wonder if that's what caused Luidaeg to try to kill him?

"You're Amandine's daughter, aren't you? You are. I can smell it on you. Why are you here? She never came, and once a road is set aside, no other feet should claim it." So THIS implies that Amandine had a road she could've used to save kids before, or at least used to visit Blind Michael's lands. I would've guessed it was the Blood Road, but as far as I remember the only issue was using that road was that Toby ran the risk of bleeding out before she got back, not that it was closed off from anyone to use. So if it wasn't the Blood Road, could it be a road connected to Janet?

That's it for now! Please feel free to come to discuss things with me. See you next time!

As many know, next month it is Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain and indeed other names. Samhian ( pronounced SAH -wien)  has its origins in ancient Celtic culture and is a celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. There are many more similar customs throughout the world. So, it seemed appropriate to officially launch our A.M.I Paranormal Committee in mid-October. We already have some Certified A.M.I Members as part of the Committee. As part of the A.M.I. Membership privileges, the Committee is only open to bona-fide A.M.I Certified Members.

Las tradiciones de Halloween

Las tradiciones de Halloween

Halloween en Gran Bretaña sigue siendo una tradición creciente, nos disfrazamos, llevamos a nuestros hijos a pedir dulces e incluso, a veces, ponemos algunos fantasmas y esqueletos de papel para decorar nuestras casas, pero todavía estamos a un mundo de distancia de la forma en que Estados Unidos celebra Todo. Santifica víspera. El 31 de octubre, todos hacemos todo lo posible para asustarnos a nosotros mismos y a los que nos rodean, ya sea viendo películas, contando historias de miedo o haciendo bromas. Se han realizado cientos de películas basadas en Halloween, y cada año nos preparamos para asustarnos con Michael Myers y Ghostface.

Se cree que Halloween fue originalmente influenciado por festivales de cosecha y festivales de muertos de Europa occidental con raíces paganas. Estados Unidos ama la tradición de Halloween y la celebra tanto como la Navidad. La mayoría de la gente decorará sus casas con luces y accesorios aterradores como espantapájaros, fantasmas y, por supuesto, calabazas. Hay muchas atracciones embrujadas que tienen lugar, ya sean pequeñas casas embrujadas hechas por mi familia o grandes eventos mundiales como Universal Studios, el evento Halloween Horror Nights que se celebra en Orlando, Florida y Hollywood, Los Ángeles cada año.

Las Jack-o'-lanterns son una de las tradiciones de Halloween más divertidas y famosas. Por lo general, están tallados en calabazas y se asocian principalmente con la festividad de Samhian y Halloween, y recibieron su nombre del fenómeno de extrañas luces parpadeantes sobre pantanos, llamado ignis fatuus o jack-o'-lantern. Algunas creaciones muy ingeniosas se pueden hacer a partir de calabazas y se ven fantásticas en la oscuridad con una vela que elimina las características talladas. Es importante tener un buen cuchillo afilado para obtener el corte más limpio y los mejores diseños cuando se le antoja una calabaza. Es una buena idea comprar un buen cuchillo de cocina antes de intentar tallar tu creación en una calabaza.

Otra tradición de Halloween es el truco o trato. Los niños irán disfrazados de casa en casa pidiendo golosinas como dulces, chocolate o, a veces, dinero, con la pregunta '¿Truco o trato?' Trato se refiere a los dulces que reciben, y la palabra truco se refiere a una 'amenaza' ociosa de hacer daño a los dueños de casa si no se les da un regalo. La tradición de disfrazarse y dar vueltas por las casas pidiendo golosinas se remonta a la Edad Media. El truco o trato se asemeja a la práctica medieval tardía de 'souling', cuando la gente pobre iba de puerta en puerta en Halloween, recibiendo comida a cambio de oraciones por los muertos.

Samhain prep - goodie bags all  done!

Thank Goddess for Dollar Stores! Where can you get so much cheap seasonal stuff? Since the New Age shop I read at is normally closed on Sundays - and Samhain is a Sunday this year and we will be open - today I made up the bags to give my Samhain Tarot clients! 16 bags worth came to $17 in all. They will get a goodie bag with a wrapped piece of candy, a bone necklace, a spooky rubber stamp, a glittered bat hair clip, Halloween design pencil, and a couple of business cards. Happy Samhain!
