A Great Rite of Peoples
Do we celebrate Samhain?
Mostly, yes.
Do we observe Samhain?
I hope so. The unexamined life is not worth living.
Do we keep Samhain?
Bingo.
We are keepers, we pagans. We keep. We keep to.
And not just Samhain. We are those who keep (and keep to) the Old Ways, long after others have thrown them away.
We retain them. We hold them. We guard them.
Like Americans, witches are a Great Rite of Peoples.
We hold to the Old Ways.
We keep the Old Ways.
