    Looking for stuff to comment on, Loki! Love this. You should put up more poetry.

    I've heard of Samhain, but never heard this two-word name. Creepy.

    Very atmospheric. Love mythology, and Celtic mythology is often overlooked.

    I like the pagan/heathen theme here. It is simple yet profound.
