Happy Halloween 🎃👻🕷🧟😈🧙♀️🖤🌕✨
As the wheel of the year turns, we embrace the ancient festival of Samhain, a time when the veil between the worlds is thinnest. This sacred period, celebrated from October 31st to November 1st, marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It’s a moment for reflection, honoring our ancestors, and connecting with the spirit realm.
Samhain is a time to honor those who have passed, acknowledging their presence in our lives. It encourages us to contemplate life, death, and rebirth—reminding us that the cycle continues. As we light our candles and set our altars, we create space for the spirits to guide and inspire us.
Ways to celebrate:
1. Create an Ancestor Altar: Set up a dedicated space with photos, mementos, and offerings for your loved ones who have crossed over. Light a candle to invite their spirits into your home.
2. Carve a Jack-o'-Lantern: Traditionally, turnips were used, but pumpkins work just as well! Carve out designs to ward off negative spirits and light them to guide the way for visiting souls.
3. Hold a Feast: Prepare a meal with seasonal foods, inviting friends and family to gather. Share stories of ancestors and reflect on the memories that connect you.
4. Divination Practices: Engage in tarot reading, scrying, or other forms of divination to seek guidance for the coming year. This is a powerful time for insights and revelations.
5. Nature Walk: Spend time outdoors, collecting fallen leaves and acorns. This connection to nature reminds us of the cycle of life and the beauty in letting go.
Embrace the magic of Samhain, and let it inspire you to honor the past while welcoming new beginnings. What traditions do you plan to incorporate this year? 🍂💀🌌
