Samhain Blessing and Happy Halloween!

Another little poem as we approach Samhain
"Take your feathers, leaves, and bones.
Add them to your roots, your stones.
Mix them in your cauldron's womb.
Dance for rain and add that, too.
Your time is now, each heartbeat rings:
Remember Witch, Remember.
You know the way, you know the song.
You've walked this path your whole life long.
Drumbeat sounding, heartbeat pounding
The Ones before you, love resounding.
With every turn of season, moon
With every deosil swirl of spoon
You chant the words, you hum the tune:
Remember Witch, Remember.
The stars are out, your feet are bare.
Your arms are raised into the air.
No one told you what to do.
You know the way, the Way knows you.
So let it go. Release it down.
Heart and blood and bones to ground:
Remember Witch, Remember."

Stitching and Health Update
These are May through January, some how they loaded in reverse order.
I just ordered this wonderful table topper Fright Night by Kathy Schmidtz, I love the vintage Halloween images they remind me of the old Beistle cardboard cutouts and other Halloween decorations I used to hang up when my son was a child.The table topper comes with the backing fabric pieces as well and is available on Spoonflower, just need a 1 yard cut.
I am trying to decide whether I want to stitch them in just the 1 color recommended or do them in colorful Halloween colors.

Ending August with a few Health Concerns.
It’s been a rather crazy week for me, on Monday I had 2 biopsies performed by the gynecologist and then the following day, Tuesday I go to see my Cardiologist for what I thought was a routine checkup and the EKG revealed I have Atrial Fibrillation or Afib for short. When I left the doctors office I was attached to a heart monitor. I had every symptom all spring and summer thinking it was a long bout of bronchitis for which my GP prescribed antibiotics for. As a Cardiac patient when the symptoms still bothered me weeks after the antibiotics were finished I should have called my cardiologist to check things out. Funny thing is today I was going to ask him about all those symptoms to see if they may be heart related. He already had the answer. I'm going to be attached to the little device below for 2 weeks. The good thing about the heart monitor and the Afib diagnosis, it has kept my mind off waiting for those biopsy results. You know it's always something.
It's been a very long summer dealing with what I believed to be a long bout of bronchitis, the shortness of breath started to get real bad a week before I saw the cardiologist and had I not seen the appointment on my calendar I was planning to call the office to make an appointment because things just didn't feel right.Now I wait for the results of the 2 biopsies, I see the GYN on the 4th of September and I am hoping to have some news by then. Strangely enough I am not stressing about it, somehow I knew all those years of suffering and battling with endometriosis would come back and bite me in the butt someday.

Welcome August the Turn of the Wheel to Lughnasadh Lammas Time and the 1st Harvest!
August 1 is the cross-quarter day between Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox, and it has always seemed to me that the cross-quarter days are the times when the light changes. At Lughnasadh/Lammas, I usually notice a change in the length of daylight hours and a slight change in the quality of light from the high Sun of Summer Solstice. Do you notice these changes too? Paying attention to such changes is part of my Walking the Wheel of the Year journey and somehow makes me feel closer to Mother Earth.
of ripening suns and harvest rains
I call to you, Mother, hear my plea,
Bestow your Blessing here on me.
