The Full moon. The represents the whole entirety of the goddess. The time to draw down the moon. Drawing down the moon is a way to access the Goddess energy, drawling it in to yourself. Or invoking, if you will. Full moons amplify intent and give a boost to power.

Samhain - I was taught of the three days of Samhain, ending on the 31st of october. On the first day we recognise that we kill plant life, taking from the mother goddess in order to sustain life. On the seccond day, we recognise the animal sacrifice for our lives. On the last day we remember those we have known that have past on to their next incarnation. It is traditional to set an extra place at the table of food, then put it outside. This night is meant as a happy rememberance, not a mourning. This is also the mark of the 'new year' This is when the veil btwn the two worlds is the thinnest,
