Samhain is a time for the Spiral Dance, to release the old, and what is no longer serving us in order to be open to the new creative flow of the Universe in our lives. This Samhain astrology appears to emphasize that even more than normal, so we seem to be well supported in releasing the old, clearing the decks and getting ourselves ready for the changes that are coming with 11-11, 12-12 and 12-21-2012.
When actually done physically, the spiral dance seems to me to be very similar to the Beltane maypole dance, despite being more serious and dark, the dance feels like the Earth is a glass of champagne you are dancing above, the bubbles of energy floating thru you, opening you up, freeing your own energy.
Where the maypole dance inspires uncontrollable giggle fits, and this does not(usually;-) it is still an expansive energy of release.
I hope everyone has a beautiful and blessed new year, and remember don’t bite the sugar skulls!;-)
