Now here's the thing, you expect life to go one way and whoops! Goddess has other plans. It all started off last Saturday when I was reminded of a fly comment that I had made earlier on in the autumn. Yes I promised a trip to a rollercoaster park for my sins. It was half term holiday and the teenage son being bored witless, I was soon reminded and held to task over my earlier comment.
Yes we would go, yes he could take a friend, yes they could stay up late-ish watching horror films and the like. So any way off we all set, fairly early considering that the clocks had moved an hour, down to Pembrokeshire for the day yesterday. It was Samhain and I soon dismissed any thoughts of Pagan activities as I realised that we would be back late and we'd be fairly tired by then.
The park itself was lovely and I enjoyed walking around the grounds and admiring the large and ancient oak trees there. At one point a flock of birds, probably geese, flew west in a 'v' formation. There was definitely a feeling of the thinning of the veils between the worlds. In a way I spun my own circles as I was coaxed onto the rollercoaster, although I was moving rapidly with my eyes shut, clinging onto hubby. I'm a bit of a woos when it comes to these things. Still I did a lot better than the previous time, when I screamed so much that I inhaled a fly on my way around. We left the park at about four, the new dusk time and then realised that we had lost the keys of the car! But panic over, they were soon retrieved and we got home in a reasonable time. Tired but exhilerated by the activity.
It was still early enough to do something for Samhain so I set aside some time for myself in the evening. I still feel that there is a lot of Samhain energy around, it's more of a process than an event so I will write some more about Samhain later on this week when things have consolidated and are clearer.
