Martinmas(s)/ Old/Ancestral Hallowe'en

First/ 'White' : Christian, Saint Martin cuts his cloak in half so that a poor man doesn't freeze in the night. Patron Saint of the poor and young children. Martinmas (Mass of Saint Martin), (Jesus and Mary, always). "And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."




Second/ Middle/ "Gray/Grey": Folk/ Old (True/Ancestral) Hallowe'en eve, Divining, Ancestor veneration/'Elphame' venerat...ion and reparation of offenses, 'house-cleaning (take that as you like)' 'Light Bearing (take it as you like)', 'Necromancy, the clear'. Experience of all things of winter and hardships. The best path for living on 'man's' planet, not unrelated to the other two.






Third: "Black" Old ideas and beliefs ...'Necromancy, (the hazey)', 'destruction', terror, sacrifice, killing of hogs, geese, and cattle for winter survival. Old Hallowe'en eve.


Martinmas ( Old English/Scottish/Irish/US Colonial 'Hallowe'en, 11th,12th, 13th)


Few can be 'Saints/Sained' in the white path and black path.  It seems unusual to many to say you can be 'sainted' in a 'black path', but utterly beneficent and relentlessly destructive people are hard to find in Our Earth.
