Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witch's mummy, maw and gulf
Of ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Gnu,
Gall of goat and slips of yew
Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab.
Add thereto a tiger's chawdron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.

Origins of Halloween

The origins of Halloween most likely date back more than 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain, the Celtic lord of death. The Celts roamed over what is now the United Kingdom, Ireland and northern France. Their new year began No v. 1, starting with a festival the previous night honoring Samhain to mark the beginning of the season of cold, darkness, decay and human mortality. The Celts believed that Samhain allowed the souls of the dead to return to their earthly homes on this night.

On the evening of Samhain, the Druids, high priests and teachers of the Celts, ordered the people to put out their hearth fires and build a huge new year's bonfire of oak branches, which were considered sacred. The Druids burned animals, crops and -- according to some historians -- human beings as sacrifices to Samhain. Each family then relit its hearth fires from the new year's bonfire. During the festivities, costumes made of animal skins were worn and the remains of the animals that had been sacrificed were carefully examined for signs that would foretell the fortunes of the coming year.

Getting Here, Sleeping,
& Getting Around

It's easy to get to Rockingham. Here is a map, with directions from both east & west.

If this doesn't do it, call us. If we have to we'll come get you!

Oh, and "yes", you can fly in.
The 'regular' airport
is 42 miles west in Yuma, Arizona.
Yet, about 100 meters away,
just over the canal,
is the crop-duster airport.
If you want to fly in,
you can do that, too.
If your aircraft of choice
is a broom,
you can land right here
at Rockingham Ranch!
