Samhain - Summer's End - 10/31-11/01


 Samhain (A Celtic tradition, Gaelic term for "summer's end") 10/31-11/01 is a time to honor the dead, not mourn them. It's a time to listen for messages as the veil is the thinnest during this time of the year between the worlds. Dia de los Muertos is also this very celebration. Many also know it as All Souls' Day. Who are you honoring? I take a step back and realize, even though this hardly represents all the people I know that have passed on to the other realm, it does make me take pause. From my Aunt Dott, G'ma Winifred, my Uncle Ray and his mother Grammy Nash all from my home state of NH taught me to be outspoken, enjoy good food, the outdoors, be artistic in whatever form(s) that is, to be fair and to laugh. My drum circle & Kaiser work bud JoeJoe from Berkeley with a smile and a lil "somethin-somethin" to ease the pain. To my sweet friend, probably the sweetest person I've ever known here on Kauai, I miss you Linda McCall!! To my first husband Mark in KY who taught me much about what NOT to do in life however we made a handsome couple! LOL! To one of baddest entities to ever roam, Miss Didi in Santa Cruz - blessed be, siSTAR! To the funny and yet so very sad Nick Danger who was kind to me when I first moved to CA & called me Auntie Faith. To my Father, who taught me how to be a decent human being and is sorely missed daily. I honor them all...mahalo nui loa & may you rest easy, at peace, in power, in magick, keep on truckin or #rockon~

RUMI

“Our death is our wedding with eternity
What is the secret? "God is One."
The sunlight splits when entering the windows of the house.
This multiplicity exists in the cluster of grapes;
It is not in the juice made from the grapes.
For he who is living in the Light of God,
The death of the carnal soul is a blessing.
Regarding him, say neither bad nor good,
For he is gone beyond the good and the bad.
Fix your eyes on God and do not talk about what is invisible,
So that he may place another look in your eyes.
It is in the vision of the physical eyes
That no invisible or secret thing exists.
But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God
What thing could remain hidden under such a Light?
Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light
Don't call all these lights "the Light of God";
It is the eternal light which is the Light of God,
The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
...Oh God who gives the grace of vision!
The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire.”
― Rumi

The Story Behind The Song: ‘Rhiannon’, Stevie Nicks pens a witchcraft cracker for Fleetwood Mac


There aren’t many things that would surprise us when discovering Stevie Nicks’ imperious talent. Her connection to the spiritual world has long been talked about, but it wasn’t just in her personal life that the singer would show her love of the unexplainable folkloric figures of the world. In one of her breakthrough songs she composed for Fleetwood Mac, ‘Rhiannon’, Nicks displayed all of the knowledge, guile and guts it would take to turn her into a double Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
