Our Circle family's Naming Tree Ceremony is held at Samhain. It recognizes the past, present and future, of our families. It is a beautiful ceremony that the families look forward to each year. And while it is rather somber, it reminds us that the past does not hold us, we change and grow and in the end, it is hoped we are better than we were and new generation remember us.
Who are we praying to?
We are praying to Quan Yin with this prayer.
She is the Bodhisattva of Compassion, a being who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the earthly realm to help all suffering beings. She is compassion itself.

A Pagan memorial is a spiritual ceremony or ritual designed to honor and remember a deceased individual, often connecting with nature, the elements, and the cycles of life.
Pagans generally view life as sacred, interconnected, and cyclical, emphasizing harmony with nature, personal responsibility, and reverence for the spiritual in everyday existence.
Many Pagans believe the spirit may linger temporarily after death, sometimes guiding or communicating with loved ones
Death is often understood as a transformation, linking the deceased to the earth, the ancestors, and the spiritual world rather than a final cessation.
Pagan traditions do not follow a single, unified doctrine; rather, they encompass a wide range of polytheistic and nature-based belief systems. Many Pagans believe the soul or spirit persists after death and may enter a spiritual realm, reincarnate, or merge with nature depending on the tradition. There is often a strong connection between death, ancestry, and the cycles of nature.
