Yes! It's Another Gorgeous Autumn Leaves Photo To Tempt Your Curiosity!



Beyond the portals in the stone circles, down the path from the clootie tree, over a thousand years into the past -- Brigid will travel there to give her own people the ceremony they haven't had in 16 years.  But this time, nothing will be quite the way it has been before.  Because Brigid isn't quite the way she was before.....

October 31 Is Samhuinn


It's the ancient Celtic new year, the end of the harvest, the coming of winter.  Much of the world spells the word "samhain," but in Scots Gaelic, it's spelled "Samhuinn."
In the festival held in Edinburgh each year, the Summer King perishes in a ceremonial duel with the Winter King, but he is saved from complete death by the Cailleach, or the wise-woman form of the triple goddess which is sometimes known as Brigid.
Oh, yeah.  That Brigid.

P.S.  The above photo wasn't really taken in a mystical forest in ancient Scotland.  Sorry.  It's actually a lovely little gambol oak-lined path in Red Butte Gardens in Salt Lake City (with one degree of color enhancement to make it look a bit more like the mystical forest in ancient Scotland).
