Last night was Trick or Treat. Don’t get me started on how much it annoys me when they don’t have it on the actual Halloween.

It was still fun. The boys had a blast getting dressed up and going out after dark. And once we found a group of families to move with they were thrilled. A had his first taste of candy, a bright purple sucker that he screamed and cried over until I finally opened it and stuck it in his mouth. He carried it around, purple slobber rolling down his cheeks for the rest of the evening. When the sugar hit him he started dancing in circles. Ahhhh, pure sugar rush.

Showing Off Just How Weird I Really Am

Jo wrote a book review on a book with a plot based on reincarnation. It got me thinking on a few things and I thought, since it is the full moon tonight, I would get a little religious.

Gah! PPD and religion in one week? I’m really coming out of my shell here.

It’s no big secret that I’m pagan. I’m not always the best pagan, but darn it I try. Tonight being one of those nights when trying hopefully means more than doing. Now first I have to address a common misconception about pagans. Not all pagans are Wiccans. No really, some are actually pretty hostile towards Wicca. It’s like saying all Christians are Catholic, not at all true and said to the wrong person might get you slapped. Even among those who are the same pagan group there are sure to be lots of differences, so tread lightly before saying “all pagans do…” or “all pagans believe…”

Clear? OK!

Tonight, being the full moon, is the end of the year for me. I know that many if not most celebrate strictly on October 31st, but i don’t feel that Nature checks the calender on my wall. Or maybe She does, if only to bring rain on the days I need it to be sunny. I follow a year more closely related the the natural cycles, one more lunar and solar than Roman. Yes, I do till celebrate New Year’s Eve on December 31st. I’m not cut off from the society I live in, I just have my own little culture as well. So, tonight marks the end of the year. Maybe. The last full moon before the first frost to be technical, which may or may not be tonight. It’s complicated when one doesn’t depend totally on knowing the cycles for their very livelihood, and with the climate changing as it does. It can also be the closest full moon to the moment between the Fall Equinox and the Winter Solstice, which would put it more around the first half of November. But to keep it simple I do it tonight. Though, I’ll admit, as my personal feelings change I am looking to change the date to one I feel better suiting. I’m looking more to the dark moon.

OK, are you caught up or confused on my pagan weirdness? Want to be even more lost? While tonight ends the year for me, it does not start anew until December. From now until the Solstice is Void Time, time without time. Yeah, that usually has even other pagans scratching their heads. See, I’m far too odd for my own good.

So what was the point of this rambling? There wasn’t one. I was just feeling inspired and wanted to ramble a bit on it.
