Tag Archives: Veil between the worlds

Onward and upward, my Pagan buds.

I do celebrate Samhain. No, I don’t believe in “deities” but rather archetypes à la Jung.

The veil, the dimensions of life and death, are thin. It is believed contact with those who have gone on, is easier and encouraged.

Personally, I also use Samhain as a benchmark, for the coming weeks, the time before Yule/Winter Solstice and the start of a new year. Remembering our family and friends who have left us, here; the memories, the laughs, the love. Giving them a voice, now that their voices have been stilled.

A time to look back and see if we’ve improved at all. A time to look back and determine…well…where we fucked up and how we can go about changing those habits, unattractive personality traits for something positive.

It is an important day. Bittersweet. Tossing out/killing off those things we may do that don’t serve us. Calling on the ancestors for any messages or their help as we attempt to move forward and hopefully, upward.

May Samhain be all that you need it to be.
