“We are at the crack of time,
for this day belongs neither to the old year nor to the new. And as
there is no distinction between the years, so is there no distinction
between the worlds.”
“Know, all of you, that there is no end and no beginning. All
is a continuous turning, a
spiraling dance that goes and returns, yet moves ever on.”
~ RAYMOND
BUCKLAND
“The crops in the
fields have been harvested, and another year spirals to a close. The
veils between the worlds are thinning as ancient spirits slip through
the cracks of time. Let us remember and honor those who have come before
us in that never-ending cycle of Life, Death, and Rebirth. "The
gates of life and death are opened; the sun child is conceived; the
dead walk, and to the living is revealed the mystery: that every ending
is but a new beginning"
-STARHAWK.
