The Mystical Season

She beckons me with open arms

to meld with her in grace.

She speaks to me in sacred voice

the message of this place.

“Feel the roots that support you dear,

Feel the powerful strength you own.

you are held and cherished in Gaia,

you are enough and never alone.”


Halloween—with its revelry, spookiness, costumes, and candy—evolved from All Hallows Eve, a night to remember the deceased and usher in All Saints Day on November 1st. But before the 8th century this season was celebrated by the ancient Celts as Samhain (sow’-en), to mark the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was a time to honor ancestors and connect with the spirit world, as the veil between realms thinned.


I believe we are ever surrounded by the spirits of our ancestors, guiding us with their wisdom in a myriad of ways. They come in the form of an internal voice, an image in the mind, a familiar scent, or a feeling in the body that brings sudden knowing. The spirits can also reveal themselves in a very tangible way by inhabiting the other-than-human beings outdoors.


My morning walks take me to a magnificent tree that, from the first time I met her, seems to embody the spirit of a grandmother from long ago. In her presence I feel deeply held, lovingly nurtured, and gently guided. Whenever I need clarity or support, I find a few minutes spent with the grandmother brings profound insight and wisdom to my mind and heart. This year, the thinning of the veil called me to create this art piece, Grandmother, in tribute to and gratitude for all the ways she inspires me. It was during a meditation at her feet that Grandmother’s words for the vignette came through, along with the image I would create to honor her.


The assistance of those who’ve gone before you is there for the asking. If you’re facing a dilemma in your life just now, trying to make a decision, or simply looking for a guiding suggestion, the wisdom of your ancestors is only an invitation away, and is most accessible during this mystical season.


If you feel called, I offer the Ancestral Connection Tarot reading to help you connect with the wisdom of someone in the otherworld. Invite the presence of a specific person, or simply open the portal to a loving spirit who wishes to offer support. However you wish to connect, know that your ancestors are always near to offer guidance on your path.


Wishing you light, love, and blessings on your journey.


Torie
