Witches’ new year

Samhain hearth

Today is Samhain, the witches’ new year. Like any new year, it’s a time to notice change, and a time perhaps for resolutions.

My coven is a small one, five people only. Some of us have thought of ourselves as witches most of our lives; some only started on this path recently. One of us has recently opted to join the inner circle, which shows greater commitment and a desire in the long run to become a high priestess.

A coven is a community, and what I want for my small witch community is to know when to bend before the storm blowing up, and when to root deep and stand strong. I resolve to do my best to understand this for myself and for my witches, and for all my communities. Also I resolve to listen to the inner voice that tells me when to make change myself.
