Samhain here too!

It's just my favorite season all around. :)

[LittleRhiannon]

I love Samhain :) My favorite time of the year, my favorite feast day. Very good for divination and the like.

I feel sorry for the other Sabbats (mostly because I'm learning they have such richness in meaning and symbolism as I delve deeper into them)...

But I have to say, LOL, I LOVE Samhain. It's originally what drew me into Paganism...and I haven't looked back...

Samhain, with Yule and Beltaine running not terribly far behind.
Samhain/Hallowe'en has always been a big deal in my house...it was almost the end of the world this year when my sister, who is in the color guard at her school had to perform at a football game on Hallowe'en, and my mum, who is the assistant coach of the color guard also had to be at the game and we almost didn't have anyone to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters! I came home from school to take my brother trick-or-treating (and take advantage of the fringe benefits of doing so) so my dad stayed at home and took care of candy duty.
Granted, this is more the secular portion of the holiday, but my sister and I are the only Pagans in the family, but it's still very much a family holiday...in fact, its better than the other "family holidays" because it's only a family holiday to us...you know, the immediate family...not the extended family who drives me up the wall, across the cieling, and down the other side on thanksgiving, Yule/Christmas (once again reminding that my sister and I are the only Pagans in the family), et. al.

Yule is great because we really do celebrate Winter in my house. Sure, everyone still calls it Christmas and presents happen on the 25th, but from about the first or second week in December until about mid-January is a great celebration of the beauty of winter in the decoration of our house. There is a lot of silver, white, and blue, snowflakes, iridescent sparkles, and of course the snow fairies :)

It's Yule for now, but the more I really research Óimelc or Imbolc the more I'm drawn to this feastday. It really seems to be drawing me while Yule seems to be dimming in importance for me. In general though, lately I seem to be being pulled more towards the traditional Celtic feastdays, which don't include Yule, Ostara, Litha, or Mabon. Probably because it looks like I'm headed for a path that's Celtic Reconstructionist, Scottish more specifically.

But like I said in the past it's always been Yule, hence that's the way I voted. I've always loved the winter months.

[TornadoAli]

Oh I love Samhain...it was my favourite even before I knew I was pagan! :-)

[blueiris]

i didn't vote...i've only physically celebrated one holiday - Yule - so i can't really say which is my favorite! :lol:
i liked yule though! :RuNew:

[WynterWynd]

I would have to say Samhain, Yule and Litha...but I love them all!:boing:

[StormwolfAvatar]

Samhain.

It's autumn. Things are changing. The very air changes from just being some clear substance vital for the human body's survival to being a very palpable, if not visible, entity. It is the shucking of the shell, the end of the cycle that all must meet. Even the mightiest oaks bow to it, shedding their leaves like so many kings doffing their cloaks. The waters begin to chill, daring anyone to glimpse past the surface, to find in its hidden depths what was lost to the energetic flow of the summer's heat.

In this time of quiet contemplation, the silent ones are born. Those who observe life as it passes, taking in the lessons from an outside perspective. It is the time of the Judgement Scales and the Scorpion.

Samhain, the time that ceases to be time. The day two realms join as one, even if only temporarily. The fallen relations return to dwell among their living kin.

This is my time: the time of the broken seal.

TwoPaws,

I love Beltane. Perhaps it's the weather that time of the year that makes it so special. I don't think that I could ever be sad on Beltane. And of course, Yule is slightly behind. I just love all the symobolism behind Yule.

[amberwolf]

It has to be Samhian...The nights have drawn in and all the Autum leaves have begun to fall.. The house is richly decorated with pumkins and Samhain images.you set up the Altar to honour the ancestors that have gone before us and hold a dumb supper and after ritual tell stories of the relatives that have past.....Yes definately my favourite

[Theres]

i'd have to say Samhain too, although Beltane is VERY close ('the lusty month of May!' :smoke: ).

but my heartfelt answer would have to be... the next one! (whichever it happens to be).

[Jenne]

but my heartfelt answer would have to be... the next one! (whichever it happens to be).
:lol: It's Imbolc...

[BellaWild]

Samhain and Beltane are my favorites. :)

[Kadynas]

Ostara for me... :D It's when it fnally starts thawing out around here! :lol: It's also International Astrology Day. :D

[MistOfTheSea86]

I'd have to say Beltaine.

It seems to be the most magickal time of the year for me, when my energy is most in tune and I am most positive:)

[whiteowl]

Mabon for me - we celebrate it as our Thanksgiving.....and Samhain would have to be second : )

[WitchJezebel]

Samhain and Beltaine for sure, but I really do enjoy all of them. I love decorating my 'meditation room' accordingly.

[Nitefalle]

I am in love with Midsummer (Litha)!!!!!!!!!!! It's all about the fey and the fertility of summer, everything is in bloom and it's hot, but very lighthearted and just downright fun. It's a big party with the fey and I'm all about that!!

~N~

[MoonFaerie]

Samhain :)

[moonmorgan]

As much as I like Samhain, I enjoy Yule more. The one I enjoy least is Mabon, but perhaps I just don't know much about it or how to celebrate it yet. That and Lughnasadh. I plan on learning more about those two before they come up this year.

[rain_fallen_tears]

I love Samhain and for some reason Beltane....I feel the most intune at those times...Mabon speaks to me very much too.I love Fall....even though being under Fire I probably should be most connected to summer....hmmm...I don't know....anyway thats me.:D-Blessed be.

[Morr]

definitly Samhain :)

[Flaire-FireStar]

Definitely Samhain. :lol:

But Candlemas/Imbolc is right up there too (it's around my birthday. :bigredgri )

[serenarian]

Beltane! No doubt about that one. It's sunny (well, usually), it celebrates love, and I get to bake special Beltane cookies. What other reason do I need? :D
