In the twilight of the year, when the veil grows thin, The spirits of old whisper, and the magic begins. From the mists of Tir na n\u00d3g, they come to our land, Guided by the Morr\u00edgan\u2019s shadowy hand.<\/p>\n
Cernunnos, the horned one, roams the ancient wood, Guarding the secrets where the oak trees stood. Brigid\u2019s flame flickers, a beacon in the night, Leading souls safely through the Samhain light.<\/p>\n
The <\/a>Banshee\u2019s wail echoes, a mournful, eerie song, Foretelling the fate of those who won\u2019t belong. Yet in the hearth\u2019s warm glow, tales of heroes are spun, Of C\u00fa Chulainn\u2019s valor and deeds bravely done.<\/p>\n As the P\u00faca rides wild on the winds of the west, We honor our ancestors, their spirits at rest. With offerings of apples and the harvest\u2019s best fare, We welcome the unseen with reverence and care.<\/p>\n So gather \u2019round the fire, let the stories unfold, Of gods and of legends, of times dark and bold. For on this Samhain night, as the old year departs, We embrace the mysteries that dwell in our hearts.<\/p>\n \u00a92024 Marcus Hazel-McGown.<\/p>\n The post Whispers of Samhain, a seasonal poem.<\/a> appeared first on HavensWell<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the twilight of the year, when the veil grows thin, The spirits of old whisper, and the magic begins.
