Samhain Swap Details
Date: 10-31-12
Names: Samhain, All Souls Day, All Saints Day, Witches' New Year
Excerpted from Wikipedia:
Samhain is one of the eight annual festivals, often referred to as 'Sabbats', observed as part of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. It is considered by most Wiccans to be the most important of the four 'greater Sabbats'. It is generally observed on October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere, starting at sundown. Samhain is considered by some Wiccans as a time to celebrate the lives of those who have passed on, and it often involves paying respect to ancestors, family members, elders of the faith, friends, pets and other loved ones who have died. In some rituals the spirits of the departed are invited to attend the festivities. It is seen as a festival of darkness, which is balanced at the opposite point of the wheel by the spring festival of Beltane, which Wiccans celebrate as a festival of light and fertility.
This swap is a 5 point swap. Please consider your partner's interests and requests when crafting, and feel free to contact your organizer with questions or worries! If you have any doubts about your partner’s interests, please ask them to clarify to make sure they will be receiving something they can use and enjoy.
This round we will be crafting a Samhain package for our partner that has a 5 point total. You can increase that if both partners are willing to do more (or if you just want to spoil your partner!) AND if you are able to send on time. Please make all effort to send on time!
Point values per size are:
Small-1 point
Medium-2 points
Large-3 points
Please abide by the general guidelines for size/time invested for deciding point makeup.
Plan to post updates on progress weekly, make sure you are getting DC numbers on in-country packages and keeping receipts for out of country swaps.Also please make sure to take pics of what you send and what you receive to post in the gallery.
