Halloween 2025

⟡ Veil of Hollow Night ⟡

Tonight the moon is a silver key, turning the lock of the worlds. Breath stills — and the air listens. The veil shivers like the skin of a dream.

Candles bloom in their shallow graves, and every flame remembers. Ash curls upward, a script of smoke — language older than prayer, spoken by bone, wind, and forgotten stars.

The roads hum with the feet of the unseen, spirits in procession through the amber dark. They wear the scent of myrrh and rain, and whisper through my blood, “Do not fear the silence between the heartbeats.”

I lift my lantern, a small sun of intention. Its light touches both worlds — the living, soft with yearning, the dead, vast with memory.

In this liminal breath, I am neither bound nor released. I am the echo, the offering, the smoke between the altar stones.

O Hollow Eve, O Gate of Returning, wrap me in your twilight cloak. Let me walk where shadow and soul entwine, and be blessed by the crossing — for to see through the veil is to remember we are made of both earth and ether, flesh and ghost, forgetting and flame.
