Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.
Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on all souls night.
Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on all souls night.
Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.
Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me.
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on all souls night.
This piece was inspired by the imagery of a Japanese tradition which celebrated the souls of the departed by sending candle-lit lanterns out on waterways leading to the ocean, sometimes in little boats; along with the imagery of the Celtic All Souls Night celebrations, at which time huge bonfires were lit not only to mark the new year, but to warm the souls of the departed.
- Loreena McKennitt
Samhain graphics and photos from my favourite. I hope you like it:
Dziś usłyszałam taką bardzo ciepłą i poruszającą nazwę dla tych chwil - że to moment, gdy rozpoczyna się Nowy Rok Człowieka - każdego człowieka - bo w dzisiejszą noc jest czas i na przemyślenia, i na radość, i na "obłaskawienie" natury i duchów, i na pogodzenie się z nią oraz spojrzenie z nadzieją w przyszłość.
Skoro tak - i skoro nadzieja pewnie już zawsze będzie nam się kojarzyć z najpiękniejszym ze światów - Śródziemiem - przesyłam najcieplejsze życzenia blasku gwiazd nad Twoimi ścieżkami
Oby Gwiazdy i Księżyc rozświetliły Twoją drogę w tę magiczną noc. I we wszystkie noce nadchodzącego roku
-- The moon tells me a secret. My confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own. A million light reflections pass over me It's source is bright and endless.
Dziękuję Fal I Tobie życzę, żeby ścieżki pomyślności i szczęścia słały Ci się do stó a fwiazdy zawsze jasno oświetlały Twoja drogę Podoba mi się bardzo interpretacja Samhain jako Nowego Roku Cżłowieka Dla mnie zawsze było to święto dusz, wszystkich Świat duchowy jest równie wazny jak fizyczny...
-- And only trees, since the world was born,
have bowed to those who walk against the wind...
