Beginnings and endings are so often the same thing. Within the pagan calendar, Samhain is regarded as the 'new year' and the period between October 31st and December 21st almost as a time of 'no-time' - a dead, dormant or sleeping period. These things are often thresholds - liminal spaces between two states of being. The ends and beginnings of chapters, and so it was with me - my first conscious footsteps into this tradition happened as my childhood ended.
