Ah yes, I did join but my messages aren't showing on the thread yet. Guess that's because of moderation? Anyhow, see you next week - off for the weekend
Osean - Samhain is an Irish word. I asked an Irish friend of mine (who lives in Ireland and speaks Irish), and she said that "Samhain" is pronounced "Sow-en", and is actually the Irish word for November! She said there may be differences in dialect, but that "mh" is always soft in every dialect - so it's definitely NOT pronounced "Sam-hain".
Hmm, I posted a reply but it's not showing up in the thread - anyone else seeing this post??
Well, Sapphire for Pisces makes sense as it's blue - but I'm really drawn to Amethyst, and so are several other Pisceans I know. So I'm tempted to stick with the attribution of amethyst to Pisces. Thoughts?
