Turn out the lights in your dwelling, and bathe in that dark. Let the light of the world that is you brighten your night. Let it shine out in your world. Let you see by it. Let it light a path for you to walk towards the sun of your making. Let not the shadow of this time weigh heavily upon you, for you are the rays of Heaven that light the path of your future.
Samhain of the night
Be still
Samhain of the dark
Be welcome
Samhain of the day
Unending peace within
A dwelling of night and dark
A light turned to
Felt and known on the Inner
Let you be welcome Gods of the night
Let you be welcome Goddesses of the dark
Let you find the door open
And my light shining bright
For I am here within, waiting.
I do not cower or tremble
I do not fret or pain
I celebrate and turn within
The silence that I will listen to
Will be the silence of wonder
Will be the formation of creation
I will welcome my dreams
And my ideas
That come from this time of introspection
I will practice patience
With my desire
To cast forth into the sunlight
And I will rest back
And welcome the blanket of dark
As a warm touch of the Creator’s hand
Beckoning me to be still
To be quiet for a time
To take leave to be with my Self
And to be with others
And I will want for no more
And I will be born again
Into the flame of my own fire
I will wish for nothing
But that the embers of my dream
Know the light of my vision
Coming into the world
Where the Son returns
I surrender to this time
And make peace with its coming
For I know that it is above and below
It is within and without
It is of light and of dark
And I am born and born again
Over and over
A thread of life
In the weave that connects us all
Come now
Let you join with me
Come now
Let you join with each
Bring your thoughts to bear
Fruit may not be found upon the trees
But in the silence fruit will be borne
And you will feast upon these
And out of the cave you will come.
Samhain of the night
Be still
Samhain of the dark
Be welcome
Samhain of the day
Unending peace within
A dwelling of night and dark
A light turned to
Felt and known on the Inner
