Pumpkin Cookies
I made these for my Pagan Circle a month ago and my husband requested them this weekend. The recipe is in the Better Homes and Garden Cookbook-1981 version. I use a cookie/melon scoop because the dough is very soft.
Poem
Sometimes, I wonder where this stuff comes from. I'll go for MONTHS with out writing anything and then something will pop into my brain and in a nano-sceond and I'm done.
Here you go:
The Gothic Lorde
That I adore
Raven's wing in flight
Nicneven's wings
Go in between
A bleeding heart at night
A bleeding heart
That's torn apart
By unrequited love
A new moon full
The greatest pull
On doves wings full of love

I pulled this from Confessions of a Kitchen Witch:
"Just read this from a Myspace friend! This is what angers me more than anything....COMPLETE IGNORANCE!~I will NEVER shop Bath and Body Works ever again!
"Oops! Doesn’t sound like a great PR move for Bath & Body Works during a recession and just before the Winter holidays. Maybe the Pagan community (and their allies) should contact the firm and tell them they’ll be buying their nice-smelling soaps and bubble-baths elsewhere this year. If they don’t want “devil-worshippers” on their “team”, then they certainly don’t want any of our filthy Pagan money! Perhaps Bath & Body Works should ask Sandra Scibelli where her priorities are.

Observance of Wiccan New Year Ends in Religious Discrimination Suit
http://www.workforce.com/section/00/article/26/75/37.php
Last Halloween, Gina Uberti took vacation days to celebrate the Wiccan new year in Salem, Massachusetts, the town infamously known for the witch trials of 1692 that ended with the hanging of 14 women.
Less than a month after Uberti took part in the festivities of Samhain, one of the holiest days in the Wiccan calendar, she was fired from her job as a district sales manager for Bath & Body Works.
In a complaint filed in federal court in Connecticut last week, Uberti alleges she was unfairly terminated for practicing Wicca, known as the largest of neopagan religions.
Uberti alleges in the lawsuit that her boss said just before she was fired, “You will need a new career in your new year. … I will be damned if I have a devil worshiper on my team.”
Uberti says in the suit that her troubles at work began shortly after she returned from her trip to Salem. Her boss lamented that Uberti had chosen to go on vacation during a particularly important week at work, Uberti said. Uberti said her vacation had been approved by another manager a year in advance and that she had taken that particular time to celebrate a Wiccan holiday.
“That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” Uberti’s boss, Sandra Scibelli said, according to court documents.
Until she was fired November 20, 2008, Uberti had worked for the retailer for eight years, first as a manager in the company’s Milford, Connecticut, store and then as a sales manager from her home in nearby East Haven.
Uberti filed charges in February with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which granted her the right to sue in September.
Bath & Body Works is part of Limited Brands Inc, based in Columbus, Ohio.
“We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate against race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, age, disability, sexual orientation or marital status,” says Robin Hoffman, specialist, external communications for Limited Brands. “Additionally, we do not comment on pending litigation.”
Uberti’s lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for emotional distress and damage to her career as well as lost pay, vacation days and pension benefits, as well as other restitution.
Tal Marnin, an attorney with White & Case in New York, says U.S. law prohibits religious discrimination regardless of whether the religion is widely practiced or not.
“The employee has to show she is a sincere believer and that her attending the ceremony was part of her religious observance and practice,” Marnin said.
The company would have to show Uberti’s absence caused it an “undue hardship,” Marnin said.
The Wiccan new year, Samhain, takes place the same day as the Celtic new year. It is considered one of the four holy festivals, or Sabbats, according to the complaint. Uberti says in her complaint that for the previous six years she had received and taken time off to make the annual new year’s pilgrimage to Salem.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects covered employees from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Circle Sanctuary News from Selena
The next Full Moon coincides with our Samhain Festival weekend, October 30-November 1, at Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve. Instead of having a separate Full Moon Circle evening, Full Moon honoring will be woven into some of our activities of the Festival weekend.
If you are interested in taking part in some or all of the Samhain Festival, please register as soon as possible.
http://www.circlesanctuary.org/samhain
In addition, there will be an opportunity to celebrate the Samhain Full Moon with me and my husband Dennis at our home, Oak Haven, on Sunday afternoon and evening, 2-9 pm, November 1 after the Samhain Festival ends. Our home is located just up the road (about 1/2 mile away) from Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve.
At Moonrise, we will be doing a salute to the Full Moon, Samhain, and Ancestors. We also will be celebrating my 60th birthday and our 25th anniversary as a couple.
Interested in taking part in this celebratory Full Moon event? Please RSVP directly to my personal email address: selena@mhtc.net Please put OakHaven Samhain Full Moon in the subject line.

As we approach Samhain, we're now in our last big push to gather firewood to last through the winter.
Whether you're an experienced hand with a chainsaw, or whether you'd rather carry logs or run the splitter, we can use your help! And if you have a chainsaw of your own to lend, so much the better!
We'll need help on THURSDAY, October 29th, throughout the day. If you're willing and able to come out & help, please email circle@circlesanctuary.org for details - - or call 608-924-2216.

Somewhere I lost a follower. Sad. I know, I haven't been very good about blogging. I spend a lot of time reading other blogs!!!! And I am SO behind! 1000+ entries I need to catch up on.
Last Sunday at our Circle, we called upon help from Hecate. It was so beautiful. I made Fall mOOn Cakes for the ritual. (Link to recipe somewhere in an earlier post).
Funny thing was, after the ritual I felt....almost a healing. I had a horrible Friday at work and stressed about it most of the weekend. Sunday, after ritual it seemed to float away. And Monday I felt more confidant and stronger to deal with the stress from that Friday. Plus, it's carried over.
Thank you Hecate.

Raising and directing spiritual power in sacred circles. Working with cones of power, portals, networked circles, trance dance, and circles within circles. Creating community. Samhain circles.
Bring a quartz crystal to use, some light fare food (cheese, crackers, veggies, dip, fruit, nuts) to share, a chalice to drink cider from, and a personal or household symbol of Samhain to energize.
