As a culture of witches, we marked the new year's begining two months ago, on Samhain (All Hallow's Eve). We stood before our altars, reviewed the deeds of the year past and looked forward to the hope and promise embodied in the year to come. As members of a larger culture, we stand ready this day to celebrate the new year, again.
To some, this rite may seem redundant, without real substance. With solomn hearts we honored Samhain, our spirits recognizing the holiness of the occasion. Tonight we welcome the new year, not with reverence and severity but with revelry and mirth. Does that frolicing nature detract from the sanctity of a holy occasion? My opinion? No, it does not.
By definition, to celebrate something is to concecrate it as honored, holy if you will. And, who is to say that we are only allowed one begining in a year? The fact of the matter is the Great Wheel of the Year is full of firsts and all of them celebrated as holy. Why should tonight be any different?
To those who believe tonight is nothing special- Happy Day Just Like Any Other Day!
To the rest of us- Happiest New Year to you and yours!
Blessings,
