I have started a garden around my Marian Shrine - and to start with I have planted a Chrysanthemum for Samhain. at each turn of the Wheel of the Year, I plan on planting a plant to represent that time.
I have also started a crystal collection for the Wheel - black tourmaline is the first addition for Samhain. I plan to carry them in a little pouch that I am making for myself.
I am desperate to once again be connected to Earth as I was when I was at Inglewood. such a struggle for me, this spiritual journey of mine!
I took myself for a walk to sit near a waterfall - there was such a stillness to the day, the birds called across the valley, a slow, meditative call. I noticed many different coloured leaves on our native trees, I noticed a large eucalypt across a valley standing in white autumn glory, having shed her bark in readiness for winter, revealing her innermost self. I noticed a stillness in the air. I sat and breathed and felt such peace - like Mother Earth was beginning to get ready for her winter rest

Samhain blessings to you! Your altar is lovely.
I love your connection to mother earth. The way your words fall onto the page is very relaxing to me, how you describe your journey and search for spirituality.

You are making me yearn for the mountains, just to see that Eucalypt and all the other trees in their Autumn glory.
Yesterday I went for walk and noticed a dead tree, still standing tall with branches stretched out in the sun. I marvelled at it's sculptural beauty while mourning it's loss.
Robyn, I sent my last message without adding an invite to my new blog. I'd love for you to visit.
It has been with great regret that I felt the need to walk away from Gingerbread Crafts.

I'm very late getting here but I hope you had a wonderful Samhain. As I read through the other comments I thought that foxysue said it best.
So pleased to see these recent posts - missed you while you were absent from the blogosphere. I guess Katoomba is getting quite chilly now. Love and blessings to you Robyn.
I always love reading about your feelings and observations. You are one of Mother Earth's holy connection to spirit.
Missed you dear Robyn.Happy to see you back here.Last night I did an earth healing meditation under big full moon light. ((xx))
And here we have just celebrated Beltane so both sides of the coin can be wished for each other...Your alter is so well considered. Enjoy your harvest time.
