I enjoy writing, and I enjoy sharing what I have with folks. I suppose that makes me an entertainer of sorts. I hope you can find something of mine that you enjoy and helps pass the time. Leave a comment, or not, the choice is yours.

Happy Samhain

Posted by sinfulwolf - October 31st, 2010


To all in timezones still set in the 31st, a Happy Samhain to you. To all those in areas where the barriers have thickened once again, happy belated Samhain.

There is more to this than simple well wishes though. I still plan on writing a short story for this day, though it will appear later in the week. This won't be entered in any contests so it's simply for the entertainment of the reader. The next chapter of War of the Damned should be coming out next week if all goes well. I also should be getting some more rough concept sketches up within the next month or so, but no promises. Time will tell, it always does.

For more personal matters, I wished everyone a good Samhain rather than Halloween, as I am always interested in the old ways. They are fascinating to me, always draw me in, and just feel right. At least to my soul.

So tonight, sleep safely, and don't disturb the dead. They are amongst us in these hours.

Omg, instead of today... they were last night... my friend got dragged off the bed.... she was behind me against the wall, creepy eh?

Some spirits get trapped in our world and cannot cross. It is this night though that they can cross freely.

Samhain?

Ah, I take it Samhain is the old term for Hallows Eve? Or is this something different?

Pretty much. It's the old Gaelic festival for the end of summer, and also where the barrier between the worlds of the dead and the living were at their thinnest. It was the start of the modern Halloween.

How is that pronounced again? Sow wen?

"Sa Win"

An old tradition?
