Quick Request.
I need a worshiper, apparantly I am one person short from being accepted as a God by so if anyone would like to sign up to worshiping me, it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: That is, Will accept I am a God, Not that I am his god.
This is going to be an odd post, I am apologising for something that has not yet happened, and in fact may never happen. But I wish to apologise anyway, just because I am a nice guy!.
I was driving home from training last night, bored on the journey due to the distance and the fact most the road is currently undergoing roadworks so is restricted at 40.
To entertain itself during the trip, my mind was having a conversation with itself, well conversation is the wrong word I was thinking out some stuff, working out some things I need to do, and deciding what was the best way to do them. As I had almost decided on a course of action a voice in my mind said “you don’t want to do that” and proceeded to remind me of a memory.
I should take a second out to explain that there is a background voice in my head that seems to work faster than my normal thought, and has better access to my memories, I tend to consider it my subconscious mind, seeing as science tells us that is the more powerful part of the human mind.
Anyway the voice re-played a dream I had a few months back, at the time I thought nothing much of the dream, as it was gibberish. For starters the dream started as I was driving back from a grading session at the dojo, and it was a work day. which is wrong as we always grade on a sunday (We graded yesterday on a work day!).. anyway without going into details, the dream ended with some bad things happening to some people, nothing too serious, but still not good, so last night as I drove I had to re-think my plans.
So I was hit with a dilemma. Do I take the dream as something that could happen and change my plans to suit, do I ignore it as a case of deja-vu (which would be a very good deja-vu seeing as several conversations and events were word perfect with my dream), or do I do nothing. After considering the options i decided feck it. I’m going to do as I did in the dream, but with this apology to cover any bad vibes I get. I also think that at the end of everything, when all the dust clears, everyone will be better off..
So all’s well that ends well…
So.. My apologies to those involved..
Halloween is one of the oldest surviving holidays, its origins going back thousands of years. Hundreds of years ago in what is now Great Britain and Northern France, lived the Celts (A friendly bunch of People). The Celts were Nature Worshippers, and had many different gods, The Sun God being one of the most common ones, since the sun dictated when they would work,rest and play. The Celtic New Year was on November 1st. It was celebrated every year with a festival and marked the end of the “season of the sun” and the beginning of “the season of darkness and cold.”
On October 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished. The Druids, the Celtic priests, would meet and light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. As they danced around the the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin.
When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.
The November 1st festival was called Samhain (pronounced “sow-en”). The festival would last for 3 days. Many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals. This festival would become the first Halloween.
By some small quirk of fate, the 3 day festival has significant meaning to me, As I was born at some point during the 3 days (oct 31/Nov 2) I’m not sure when, so I tend to celebrate for the 3 days, And class the middle (Nov 1) as my birthday..
So Happy Halloween, Merry New Year, Happy Samhain, and any other greeting you wish!!!
