I hope you had a magical Samhain! Did any of you catch any ghosts on camera? Oh, I'm just dying to know! There was no veil between the world, you know. Now, I've heard a lot of argument about the veil between the world's thinning being a real thing or not. Some say it's an outright fallacy to believe this. It is very real, I can tell you that both as a witch and as a sensitive. They can feel it and it's about this time every year it starts. The veil hasn't closed back yet and it opened up early this year. It is a natural phenomena having to do with the cycles and seasons, the equinoxes and solstices. It's the turning of the cycles of the seasons, The Wheel of the Year. It is nature at work. Spirit is very much of nature. It reacts and acts with those natural cycles. Perhaps I will do another whole blog on the veil thinning.
Even though I haven't got to do my yearly ritual yet, which I normally do on October 31st, I've already received a great gift from Spirit which is entirely appropriate for Samhain. I was given the gift of healing because I was literally too sick to do Circle. I woke up today feeling much better and am able to catch up on some chores and such. This means I didn't get to do my ancestor alter, the food offering, or the dumb supper that I usually do. I'm going to catch up on my divination work for it as well that I usually do during Circle. I'll pull up ritual as soon as I catch up on my earthly chores because those are just important to spiritual work as any other thing. Remember, As Above, So Below. So yes, even laying in my sick bed my Samhain was very, very magical! Spirit is everywhere, so just remember you're never alone.
I'm not sure I'll publish everything I get in my readings or that happens during my Samhain circle. I may publish some of it I may not, I'm not sure that I want to make everything public. But for now I'll just leave it at that. It seems I have some deep personal issues to work through still and spirit can help me with that and this is entirely appropriate, again, for the energies of Samhain.
Did you know there is an Old Halloween? It was traditionally celebrated on November 10th by the older pagans and witches. I'm getting aggravated looking up videos and even reading books so I can hear about the history of Halloween. I already know the history but I do enjoy listening to those every year if I can find a good one. That's the problem, finding a good one. Most of these are done by non-magickal people, those who do not know enough about it to be making a video about its history, or those who are very biased by their own judgmental spiritual beliefs. Some of them have no clue about any of the holiday's history, much less about their own. As far as books go, Silver Ravenwolf's book on it is great and Mickey Mueller also has a great book with ideas and such about it. You can learn a lot from both of those. Just go to Google or some place like Amazon and type in their name and Halloween after it and it should pop up in the search.
More soon!
Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet Again!
Blessed Be!
