According to Celtic tradition, we’re about to get to the time of year when the veils between worlds is purportedly thinnest.
The actual date is from sundown on October 31st to sundown on November 1st which coincides with Halloween and the Day of the Dead.
Supposedly, this 24-hour period is a powerful time:
for divination since the veils are more porous
for reflection on the balance of life and death
for connecting between the physical and spiritual worlds
for honoring and remembering loved ones who have passed on
If you’re feeling inspired, you could do a simple divination exercise.
+Ask a question as you open any book and read what it says. Alternatively, you can use a set of tarot cards, runes, or other card deck.
If you want to do something more formal,
+Grab your journal and a light source – a candle, fake candle, hearth fire...
+Sit in front of your light source and take a few minutes to get centered.
+Ask your query silently, aloud or in writing, and wait for an answer. Do this outside if you can!
+Think about a way you can honor a loved one who has passed.
It’s nice to use these times of year as opportunities to reflect, remember and get clarity.
Why not add a dose of contemplation and divination into your usual holiday celebration?
Remember your loved ones, release yesterday, and get clear about what you want the rest of your year to be like.
