Samhain Crunch!

As Samhain fast approahes, so does the deadline for one of our co-managers. She is participating in the Mix96's Breast Cancer Shave to Save. We are supporting her in this noble endeavor as much as we can. She still needs to raise $700 more dollars to meet the goal of $2000. We have till Sunday at 5pm. She then goes to be shaved Monday October 30th, just in time for Samhain.

It is important to think of those you have passed at this time of year. Breast cancer has touched so many lives.

In this Samhain cruch, the media is also getting involved. They want to hear all about Pagans, Witches, Occult and the myths and tales around Halloween and Samhain. Several interviews have already been done and where possible we have mentioned our desire to give back to the community at large. We offer many different services from spiritual counselling, helping with rites of passage and seasonal ritual, providing advice and supplied for spellcrafting, and hosting clairvoyants & workshops and even a Pagan school.

This year we have also done alot to give to the community in other ways. During our 15th Anniversary Weekend (our Mabon event), we held events and activities to raise funds for the SPCA. For Samhain, we working towards raising $2000 for breast cancer research. For Yule we are engaging in the Children's Christmas Shoebox project. We will have more information on this later on.

Have a happy and safe Halloween and Samhain. Remember your ancestors and thank them. You are here and who you are because of them.

Blessings from all the staff at Le Melange Magique!
