In honour of Halloween / Samhain this weekend, I pulled an extra card reading today to cover the lead into Samhain for those amongst us that celebrate it at this time of year. I hope you enjoy.
The question I asked was: How can we honour our ancestors and loved ones that have crossed over, and seek their guidance during Samhain this year?
The cards that fell out where ‘Silence’ and ‘Altar’.
Silence:
There is a sweet embrace in the nothingness stillness brings a presence of self, fully embodied.
Altar:
A sacred devotion, a worship skin deep rising from the ash, the waters you keep
Together the cards encourage us to step back, give space, reflect inwards and be mindful, while making a conscious choice on how we wish to actively honour our ancestors and loved ones today.
The Silence card arrives today to remind us that it is through silence that we create opportunity for our ancestors and loved one to rise and reach out. For silence provides space which presents an opening for possibilities to emerge. Silence also allows us to focus inwards and be in tune with our highest good. The alter card encourages us to be mindful and deliberate in our honouring’s to our ancestors and loved one. To take the time to create a space that is inviting and sacred. Maybe light a candle and say a little prayer, Maybe lay mementos in a special space to acknowledge them, Maybe call upon their energy and wisdom or Maybe we might choose to give gratitude for the ways they have touched our life or supported our journey. Regardless of how, or what, we choose to do, we are encouraged to do it in stillness with love in our hearts and mindfulness in our actions.
Blessings to you all
