Samhain

Samhain is believed to be a time when the veil between the physical world and the spirit realm is thinnest, allowing easier communication with ancestors and inter-dimensional energy including angels, spirit guides and star family. 

Death and Rebirth:

Happy Samhain! Halloween, All Hallows' Eve and Dia de Los Muertos! 

Samhain, traditionally celebrated from October 31st to November 1st, is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be the thinnest. It is an ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. Many modern Halloween traditions are derived from Samhain practices.

On the day of Samhain, the veil between worlds is considered to be thin and allow for divination and ancestral communication. 

Cosmic Alignment

The day of Samhain is a threshold day in the celtic Year of the Wheel. Samhain symbolizes the end of the harvest season and the beginning of Winter, representing the cyclical nature of life and death. As the outside world begins to shift and go inward we to can be inspired and in-sync with this process. 

Samhain falls halfway between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, Samhain is a liminal time, balancing light and dark, and aligning with natural cosmic rhythms.

The wheel of the year is a calendar that consists of 8 celebrations, which is a mix of old farmer’s almanac agricultural phases and the Germanic celebration of Solstice and Equinox.

Ancestral Honoring:

Samhain is the day to remember, honor, and connect with ancestors, seeking their guidance and wisdom.

The energy can help us uncover and discover the karmic and ancestral cycles and patterns we’ve been carrying, as well as connect us to the very roots of our strength and power.

Taking time to connect with your ancestors is one of the most potent practices to amplify your connection to your bloodline and the space and time to which you chose to incarnate into. You are the answer to your ancestors' prayers. The more we connect to them in service and in reverence the more support we will have. 

Contacting Ancestors is like revisiting a long-lost friend, the excitement and celebration to co-create and to learn from one another is potent. The more you connect, the stronger the bridge will become to create a harmonious future. For our ancestors paved the way for the New Earth, we are the seeds living out their prayers.

Spend some time today in meditation, set up an altar and let in the friendly ghosts - if you dare! They might have something interesting to tell you.

Samhain Blessings!

SAMHAIN RITUAL

Create an Altar

Like all things spiritual, tune into your guides and intuition. Allow spirit to guide you. There is NO wrong way to set up an altar; everything is divinely guided. The more intention and meaning there is behind each item, how they are situated, and the energy weaving around the altar, the more they contribute to the co-creative nature of ceremony and ritual.

When setting up the space you can use the compass app on your phone to setup the space and amplify the altar in the directions of the Wheel of the Year. Situate the top of your altar to the North which represents Earth and ancestors.

After the space is made, you can transition into meditation or a sitting practice. Breathe deeply for at least 5-10 minutes to drop into the space, feel the frequency and the potency of your creation. As you open up the space and the portal for communication, your can speak your an invocation. When speaking your invocation be specific with the energy and beings you are calling in to communicate with.

The altar should be in a private space that you can visit every day for at least 3-5 days. The magic that you co-create with on the altar will co-create with you during meditation and divination sessions and in between. Some of the most potent messages come through when the altar is by itself, it will leave you messages. A fly may rest right next to your quartz representing high-energy is buzzing. Petals from the flowers may drop in a sacred structure. Many magical things happen, once you create the space.
