'To work magic is to weave the unseen forces into form; to soar beyond sight; to explore the uncharted dream realm of the hidden reality.'
--Starhawk
"At last the bewitching hour has arrived: All Hallow's Eve. Halloween comes down to us from the pre-Christian Celtic festival of SamHaim, held October 31, the last autumn night before the cold and bleakness of winter. On this night -- considered the Celtic New Year -- the Druids believed that the supernatural world drew closer to the physical world, so human beings were more susceptible to the power and influence of the unseen. Magic spells could be cast more easily, divination (predicting fortunes) was more revealing, and dreams held special significance."
