Preparing for

AS THE bitter chill of
autumn (my favorite season)
permeates our bones and we
gather the blankets close
under a frigid harvest moon,
it is natural for us to dream
on the eerie yet thrilling pos-
sibilities of the supernatural.

The Ceitic festival of “Samhain”
arrives on October 31st as a final
winding down of the old year into
decay, then so-called death — actu-
ally rebirth. According to my
ancestors, the ancient Celts,
“Samhain” is also wher: supernatur-
al beings, both so-called good and
evil, culminate to haunt the coun-
try-sides and forests in an effort to
return to their earthly abodes.

During “Samhain” you are just
as likely to meet an angel as a
demon along a lonely path, for'all -
spirit forces are then at the peak of
their powers.

Since astrology is sometimes
regarded as veiled in mystery and
shadows, myths surrounding super-
natural beings find special expres-
sign in the twelve (not thirteen)
zodiacal signs. We meet our dark
side (or “inner shadow”) by the full
of the moon and experience our
outer selves by glaring sunlight.

- Whether it be “fiend” or “angel”
birthed by the creative imagination
of a masterful writer, or by folklore
of ages past, all seem to be personi-
fied by the forces of astro-logic.

. For example, while the vampire is

animated by the lethal forces of
Pluto, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
monster finds expression through
the lightning-quick Uranian ener- .
gies of Aquarius. |” :
The lonely, dejected werewolf is
left to haunt cemeteries in barren

‘winter under the oppressive eye of

Saturn and Capricorn.

Astrology is one system of per-
sonifying planetary energies. The’
same might be said of vampires,
angels and other supernatural

~ beings in fiterature and legend.

. Many of such beings express the
energies of certain planets (and
their signs) as well as the four ele-
ments. Vampires and witches can-
not cross water, Biblical angels
appear in a blaze of heavenly fire.
Fairies live on air, while unicorns
and elementals are attuned to earth
energies.

Perhaps you have a suitable
spine-tingling tale to tell. Maybe
you would rather conjure up fairies
or nature spirits haunting a grove of
trees somewhere near by. Read on
and discover a special supernatural
property unique to your astrological
sun-sign, as the foreboding door of
Hallowe'en breaks open and beck-
ons you to integrate your “shadow
