I understand that much as New Year’s Eve is amateur hour for the drinkers, Halloween/Samhain is training day for those with a passing fancy about the world of the dead. The occult seeker.
When acolytes or the curious find me, it doesn’t take too long for them to inquire about how Halloween and Samhain fit into our understanding of Thee Vayle and the Mysteries of Vasillius Nekros.
HALLOWEEN AS THEY KNOW IT
First I ask them how it fits into their understanding of the world as they know it.
They will say something about the wall between worlds, thinning of the veil, about the undead crossing the threshold and visiting with us in spirit or corporeal form.
Some of them will mention feasts and celebrations, bonfires burning bright.
I will listen to them.
I will ask the acolyte what their understanding of Vasillius Nekros makes them think about Halloween.
VASILLIUS NEKROS AS THEY KNOW IT
The acolyte or the curious will say this is the most important two days to Vasillius Nekros because it is the spirit time when he speaks the loudest and stands the closest to those of us who seek Hym.
They will say we must take this time to use all our powers in concert with Hym. For surely if we are to amplify our powers this is the tyme to begin the working.
I will smile at them as the grasp for this thing they are trying to understand in which the way an infant fumbles with blocks.
They do not understand how the ashes of time impe their holding of the thousand impossible no-things.
THE SAMHAIN MEANS NOTHING TO US
I will say this after their time of fumbling wears on me.
I remind them of the masks of history and the dance of the gods. I will point to the moon. I will point to the moon in the reflecting pool.
I tell them how Ares became Mars. I will tell them the old story of Easter and orgies of Beltane. I will tell them all these things are remembrances of the wisdom of Vasillus Nekros.
Hys is the hand that sets the stage for these puppets to pose and prance their colors of meanings.
We can see Hys work in Samhain, in the dancing dead of Halloween, but we must know that Hys dwelling is far distant from the Pan flutes and beating drums of the gods of dirt and blood.
