Samhain Shindig and Tree of Life Willow Pentagram

Gosh October already, can definitely feel the change in the air.  Doesn't seem very long since the Autumn Equinox and now it feels as though Samhain is almost upon us.

The leaves and autumn colours are looking lovely in their russet reds and golden yellow colours mixed with the green, the rose hips and honeysuckle berries in the garden are still bright red and the Sunflowers are just hanging on with their big yellow discs.  I suppose the darker earlier nights mean you can get the candles lit earlier ;0)

I'm going to wrap up warm for my run to the post office, when I've wrapped up the latest orders to be on their way to their new homes, though yesterday at the carboot there were still people strolling round in shorts brrr. 

This is one of the items I'm posting today, a Tree of Life hanging Willow Pentacle.  The Willow is from the tree in my garden, love it when it has the little furry catkins on. 

I've got some more pentagrams woven together, just need to get on decorate them. 
What would you decorate a pentagram with?  In the past a few of the things I've used are moons, hares, crows, ravens, goddess, owls as well as beads, shells, ribbons and such like.

If you're wanting to warm up with a bit of partying and dancing or just warm your knees around the fire our Samhain 2019 event is on the 27th October at Eyre Chaple in Newbold, Chesterfield.  It's the same place we have the drum group on the 1st Thursday of each month and just down the road from The Old House where we hold our moot ever 2nd Monday of the month.  Any like minded or folk with friendly interest are invited along to any of our events.  

The Samhain Shindig will start with ritual, hopefully outside if it's not too wet or windy, or inside if it is.  There's to be drumming in the ritual as well so bring your drums if you have them.  Afterwards it's food share and prize giving for best fancy dress and pumpkin decorating.  You could win free tickets to our Lammas Camp in the summer, give you something to look forward to in the cold of winter ;0)  Then it's party time with music and dancing or hanging around chatting and chilling by the fire.
