The limbs that move, the eyes that see,These are not entirely me;Dead men and women helped to shape,The mold that I do not escape;The words I speak, the written line, theseAre not uniquely mine.For in my heart and in my will, oldAncestors are warring still,Celt, Roman, Saxon and all the dead, fromWhose rich blood my veins are fed,In aspect, gesture, voices, tone, flesh ofMy flesh, bone of my bone;In fields they tilled, I plow the sod, I walkThe mountain paths they trod;Around my daily steps arise - the good,The bad - those I comprise
.Richard Rolle 1300- 1349
The breeze turns crisp, the harvest is brought in, the nights grow long, and the veil thins. The whispers of the ancestors echo softly in the winds. Your heart hears the call of the Horned One. Samhain has come once more.
Join us for a magickal celebration on October 27th, as we part the veil;
and journey back to 'The Burning Times".

As this is an Orlando Pagan Collective Event
There is a requested donation to help cover the cost of space rental, ritual supplies and decorations. As soon as the information on the donation is available I will post it. I understand that it is different from the normal sabbat request, because more work, and a better venue go into the cost incurred.
