The WORLD OF WATER Masquerade Dinner Party with Entertainment Saturday, May 3, 2008
 

What is Samhain?
Samhain (pronounced: sow-en) is a pagan holiday that is known best to be celebrated on October 31. It marks the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter. In modern times, this celebration has become known as Halloween.
In Australia, where Summer occurs through the Nov-March months, and Winter is May-September Samhain is commonly celebrated on, or close to, April 30th.
In the past, Samhain was a festival for the time between the old year and the new year. It was a time for having bonfires and playing tricks. It was also thought a time when people could make contact with departed loved ones and foretell the future.
It is a time to remember what has past, and celebrate all we have gained. We remember our ancestors and beloved dead.
Today Neo-Pagan people still have special ceremonies on this day. Some people have parties and other people have special dinners.
In Canberra PAN nc have been celebrating Samhain publically since 2004. Join us in 2007 for a fun evening of finger foods, entertainment, dancing and competitions and prizes.

Do I have to be 'pagan' to come to Samhain?
Absolutely not! Everyone will love this event - you get good food, alcohol (and soft drinks), awesome entertainment - and you get to dress up!

Do I have to wear a costume?
No, of course not. But it makes it more fun! Get in the spirit of Samhain by dressing up, all magical and mysterious like. You won’t be able to enter the costume and mask contests and win awesome prizes if you don’t dress up…

Costume competition categories this year include:
Most ‘Watery’ costume
Best Couple
Best Mask
Scariest ‘Watery’ costume.
And more…

$50 per head
$45 for PANinc members

This year’s Samhain Masquerade Party will be a child-free, adults evening full of Divine Entertainment, Watery Halloween games, Delicious Food and FUN!

Pagan Awareness Network Reaching 20,000 People

P.A.N's news, views, and issues will be reaching over 20,000 people each quarter with topical information useful to the larger pagan community. This has been made possible by P.A.N. being given a regular dedicated column in the new "Spellcraft Magazine" called "The P.A.N. Pages." Best of all the editorial content of this column will be decided by PAN Inc. Check it out on http://www.spellcraft.com.au

Spellcraft is a new publication to hit the shelves in Australia. As well as regular columns like the P.A.N. Pages, Spellcraft offers a regularly updated list of Pagan meets and gatherings and an exhaustive almanac of astronomical information linked with Pagan celebration days, which is a very useful little reference guide. Spellcraft aims to include articles of interest to newbies, as well as those who are more advanced along their spiritual path. Spellcraft is eager to make this magazine better and of more use to the larger pagan community and is keen to receive feedback and suggestions. Spellcraft is also welcoming submissions of articles. Articles must be under 2000 words and be on appropriate topics for the Pagan community. Therefore, this is your chance to make this magazine your own. Have your say to 20,000 people in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and soon the UK too!

Please send any articles submitted for consideration as well as feedback and suggestions to: - she@spellcraft.com.au
