Merry meet all,
October has come with magick and the changing of the seasons. Pumpkins fill store shelves and bask on decks of houses. Today the sky is overcast, birds fly to my feeder and leaves fall to the earth.
I bought a cool skull ornament from Pier 1 imports. I bought the last one the store carried. It is decorated with jewels and there is a pearl in the eye. I named her Tiamat. I also found a cool dark black spiderweb fabric tablecloth. I love spiders so finding that was a definite bonus. I won’t decorate my house too much for Samhain because it looks like that all year in here.
I bought the skull because I like them, I’m not scared by them and I am drawn to the morbid and macabre. Or I wouldn’t be writing this blog. Today I am having a nice dinner with my Mom for Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to dine on some good home cooked food. I think I will get some herbs for the garden. My garden is dying back for winter.
Skulls symbolize death and to me, something eternal. They scare people because they remind them of their mortality. Skulls adorn cathedrals and catacombs. They are popular for their cool appearance.
I hope you all find a cool object to help you celebrate Samhain this month. The stores are now all full of decorations.
My blog post for the Horror Writers Association about cemeteries is scheduled for October 25th. I will be promoting and posting it here when the time comes.
Blessed Be, Lady Spiderwitch )O(
