“The great oak forests are friendly to me, in my dreams, giving me shelter, food and hiding-place. And its almost impossible for me to visualize a Druid as anything but a tall, stately old man, white robed, having golden buckled sandals to his feet and a staff to his hand, with a long white beard and very kindly, very wise eyes. I’ve never been able to think of the cult as any other than white bearded sages, wise in astronomy and agriculture, very close to Nature. Its difficult for me to think of them in connection with human sacrifices and I’ve never been able to lend in writing an air of mysterious horror to Druidic-worship.”  REH to HPL

Today is the Celtic day of Samhain, New Year’s Eve. The boundaries between our world and that of the realm of the dead break down on this day. So, cut your mistletoe in the sacred oak grove by the light of the full moon. Or have a wicker man built for burning,
