Samhain Stories

In an age before history, when gods still walked the earth and the land remembered their names... The ancient world fractures under climate collapse, war, and the fall of kingdoms. The People of Danu-called the Danann-are driven into exile. Once masters of knowledge, craft, and the skies, their civilization is hunted, feared, and nearly extinguished. Their homeland, a chain of islands in the great ocean near the inland sea, is struck by a comet sent by their Goddess, Danu, and swallowed beneath the waves. The survivors escape in airships, seeking refuge on the northern island called Éire. There, the White Horse Oracle foretells their arrival: they come in peace, yet conflict is probable. Indeed, war does break out, and from its ashes the Danann rise to power across the land. The White Horse Oracle is a sweeping mythological fantasy of exile, invasion, and memory-where legends are not born of heroism, but of survival.

Brontë learns that she's a Necromancer, a specialty not seen in years... and forbidden. Forced to hide her true nature, she finds herself entangled in a century old mystery. Coupled up with unexpected allies, she has to figure what really happened in 1746... before the world gets destroyed.

'The Passing Bell', ONC2022 The Passing Bell" is based on Prompt 62: The old man you've been taking care of at the hospital has passed on. And in their will, you've been given their Wiltshire mansion. It's your first day in the house but something seems off; and, Prompt 65: You were told if you find a bell in the woods to never ring it, or you will be cursed! While hiking deep in the forest, you-literally-stumble across a bell. The title comes my checking on the use of bells in England in older times. Bells gave information. i.e., summoning to church, or announcing a death (knell). A passing bell was rung to call a curate to a person about to die. The death bell was rung when the person died. The funeral bell (formerly lych or corpse bell) was rung for the funeral. Two bells appear in this story: Hydd's bell, and St. Duncan's bell. April Waverly cared for Drew Ramsey the last few years of his life. He leaves her his Wiltshire farm, Oakton, in his will. However, there are conditions: 1) she must live at Oakton continuously until Ostara; 2) she may not marry or have a relationship until the month after Ostara; 3) Ramsey's religfious group, the Pelham Druids, must be allowed to worship at the King's Oak until Ostara; 3) she must attend the seasonal festivals of the Pelham druids until Ostara in place of Drew; and, 4) she must maintain Oakton as is until Ostara.

Long before Halloween became a night of masks and monsters, it was a sacred fire festival - a time to honour the ancestors, the Aos Síth, and the turning of the seasons. This piece shares the real heart of that night: warmth, remembrance, and the enduring light of our Celtic spirit. Thank you for taking your time to read this. The fact I can share my culture's true story with you is truly heartwarming.

Samhain, the night the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest; most children call this night Halloween and dress up as witches, ghost, and goblins. The night when old magic, ancient magic, whispers it's song to anyone who cares to listen. The witches New year. The night I was born. My grandmother, the High Priestess of our coven, delivered me into this world at midnight the day of the Sabbat. She placed me into a woven basket and began to trace sigals into my newborn skin while repeating an unknown language. I've been told that ravens lined up in the trees, black cats perched on the porch, and members of our coven stood waiting... just waiting to get a glimpse of the baby foretold centuries ago to be the most powerful witch our coven has ever seen. Alas, almost eighteen years has past and now, I'm just... Rowan Nightingale. Ordinary witch with no gift, as we call it. At least I thought I had no gift.
