Fantastic entry! I had no idea about a celtic myth of the 7 sisters, thank you for sharing.
Great story Avia! It is refreshing to hear a different take on the Halloween/Samhain connection. If you like the Celtic myths, you ought to take a look at the Celtic Myth Podshow.
Swan symbols are always poignant. It is memorable to recall this quote by the timeless Socrates:
“You think that upon the score of fore-knowledge and divining I am infinitely inferior to the swans. When they perceive approaching death they sing more merrily than before, because of the joy they have in going to the God they serve.”
Great post!!
Has anyone else noticed that this is just a different interpretation of the seven Archangels? Cause I did haha. I love it cross belief connections!!
