While I was on my “quick trip” to Southern California for Samhain, I picked up my new athame.  I went to The Enchanted Crystal, which is up in Running Springs, CA. and was looking around, mostly for an athame, but well… it’s a New Age store, I”m a pagan, do I really  need to explain why I was in the store?  LOL!  Anyway, I saw this really great “hidden” athame, which looked like a tree but the top branch came out and was an athame.  I looked at the price and it was well within my budget.  AFter about 5 minutes of me staring at the athame, Zenah, the owner of the store, came up and started talking to me about the athame.  She asked me about what other things I had on my altar, and then suggested I look at other athames in the store for comparison.  That’s when she showed me this one!

Most people consider tomorrow, October 31st, or Sunday November 1st, Samhain.  However, the reality of it is that Samhain doesn’t fall on a specific date.  It falls on an astrological occurance, which is 15 degrees Scorpio.  Which isn’t until November 7th this year.  This is an interesting fact, which I wasn’t aware of until recently.

Samhain (sow’ en) – Major Sabbat, 15 degrees of Scorpio
So, if you’re like me, instead of waiting till next week to celebrate, you’ll be celebrating from tomorrow until next Saturday.  LOL!  I think it’s only proper to have a week long celebration.  I for one will be going to two public Samhain celebrations, the brown cording ritual (which will be on the Full moon on Monday) and I will also be doing a little family celebration as well.  whoohoo!  I love it when I can have continuous celebrations for the holidays, especially my favorite holidays.So what are you going to be doing for Samhain?  Will you be celebrating only on Oct. 31, only Nov 7th, or the entire week?  Let me know what you’ll be doing for Samhain.  Whatever it is, may you have a wonderful, blessed and safe Samhain!
