Tickets for the Museum's Halloween Day of Talks are going fast! We have a great programme of speakers including Ronald Hutton, Mogg Morgan, Dorothy L. Abrams, Bekki Shining Bearheart, Tommy Kuusela, Louise Fenton and Judith Noble.
Here is a tantalizing glimpse of the talk Dorothy Abrams will deliver entitled "Our Ancestor Ritual at Samhain":
"Our ceremonies at the Web PATH Center, whether they be for
Samhain or any other sabbat, include a candle lighting and a call to the Ancestors
that they may join our circle as witnesses and participants. The Samhain
rituals are shaped around a scrying session wherein each person uses a dark
bowl or mirror, a crystal ball or a candle flame to gaze and seek the faces of
the ancestors. Immediate relatives or ancient ancestors may choose to speak
with us individually. They carry love, warnings, advice and commentary on our
activities. Because ours is an open circle functioning publically as a pagan
church new people drop in at Samhain. The Spirits challenge a newbie who dares
begin at a sabbat courting contact with the Dead. The reality of the spirit
contact leaves the inexperienced shaken to their shoes. For that reason we
ground before and after the scrying experience. We also silently partner initiated
witches with visitors. The man in black monitors the circle’s over all energy
to keep us connected to the physical earth in a healthy but enabling fashion.
How do we do this? What happens when we do? Let me tell you some stories..."
