Okay I know Mabon is coming up soon but then Samhain follows closely behind it...and I can't tell you how often I've wondered how the word is pronounced!
I've seene it as Sow-en but even then is it like "Sew-en" or more like "Soo-en" or "Sough-en"
Lol perhaps I'm just being silly but I keep interpreting "Sow" so many different ways! lol if someone could lend a hand it'd be wonderful!
Blessings

Thats a good thread idea cause i know a lot of people are confused about that..I've read to pronounce it sow-en. I don't know if thats right but its what i call it although im always tempted to call it sam-hain! lolz. By the way I LOVE you avatar!

LOL I know, whenever I try to write it out I try to pronounce it correctly in my head but then I have difficulty spelling it! lol
Thanks! I like the avatar too but I don't think I'm really supposed to be using it lol ya know? a friend of mine sent me a bunch of pics once but I think this one has a copyright...oops lol oh well I'm not entirely sure so unless someone complains I'll keep using it for a while!
Blessings!
