Story/serial for #WeekofWonders
Coldness’ breath touched me like a draft in an empty castle. On my way to the market, fog shrouded everything. I could not even see the path anymore, walking it by heart- here was the red-painted fence. There the pasture of Sam. Suddenly….

#WeekofWonders When my dear cat-friend Toonsis passed through the veil, we were devastated. He was a troubled cat, yet we loved him more than any other. We buried him in the yard; I put a cement block on his grave. This photo (I believe) shows his spirit visiting us as an orb.

Samhain Blessings for those who wish for them. Now is the time to look inward, to commune with our dearest ancestors and departed loved ones, and rest a while in the comforting arms of the Goddess.
