All Hallow's Eve, 10-31-18

Listen to 10-31-18 radio set here

A special episode of Merging w/the Night for All Hallows Eve / All Saints' Day / Samhain.

The lyrics to Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" set the mood:

We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs

The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night 

The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always 

While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks down from night 

And so we pass on by the crimson eye
Of great god mars
As we travel the universe
