GOG's 2005 Samhain

43 people attended GOG's Samhain ritual and vigil. The ritual, honoring ancestors, our own past lives, and Memory (Mnemosyne), was one of our best. The entire ritual was performed in the dark, and the omens scryed from a single candleflame. Altars to each of the kindreds, Memory (Mnemosyne), Manannan, Brigid, and outsiders, were set up outside for individual worship. A pumpkin parade down Easton Ave. in New Brunswick cheered the locals, and later we had a traditional Spiritualist seance, a Kali pooja, fire, and vigil until dawn, when the gates were closed (such as they can be this time of year). 15 druids lasted until dawn. Thanks to everyone all night who helped clean up and take down! Special thanks to Deb, kitchen witch, who did a wonderful job. Thanks to all who invoked in the ritual or who gave praise in the All-Praise to the ancestors, kindred, Memory, or their own past lives.
