A Samhain Feast
When the light slants golden and the trees shed their leaves in a vermillion dance, the witches and familiars come together for a harvest feast.
Underneath the hawthorns, they’ll swap stories and sip tea while sharing the last fruits of the season.
The more mischievous familiars play tricks on the younger, while the elders watch with a judicious eye.
All are merry, all are welcome. Their presence is both a celebration and a farewell.
The trees sigh happily overhead as they sing beneath the boughs—it’ll be some time before the forest hosts such life again.
The magic brought by their gathering will linger, sinking into the soil like discarded apple seeds, until the earth wakes from its winter slumber.
Thank you for reading Girl With Antlers. In this journal, I share my own fairytale art and fiction writing, as well as reflections from my life as a mother-creative.
