Halloween minus the candy and the costumes(not that those are not fun!)...

All Hallows Eve is approaching and with the passing of the days the veil is getting thinner and thinner. This is a time we remember and honour our loved ones that passed. We think about the limitations of our physical selves and we try to give our lives more grace and balance.
I do not know if we will meet them again in Summerland. But deep inside my heart i believe that even if we will not, we will join them as parts of the Whole when we will return to our Mother. And even if we will not come back reincarnated as human beings into new bodies at a new time, we will indeed return to the cosmos as light, or air, guiding spirits or trees, Gods or Goddesses.
On the night of October 31th we will burn candles in front of pictures of the deceased family and friends. Some of us will burn insence and try to communicate with them. Some of us might even use the opportunity to see what is about to come into our lives and ask for guidance. We might have elaborate rituals or drink a glass of wine in honour of those we lost. We might celebrate this powerful day or not. Some of us will consider the passing of the days, the turning of the Wheel, the spirals our lives and souls make. And some of us will get lost in the hectic rhythms of everyday life and we will not think of all those things. However, whatever we do the veil will be thin. The magic will flow around us. We will be visited in our dreams by all sorts of spirits.
I wish all of you to have a magical Halloween. Blessed be the memory of those you lost.
Georgina.
