Hi everyone! I've started a new eNewsletter, called Tunnel Vision, to share what I learned during my Near-Death Experience, from the guidance I connected with at that time, and from over 30 years of metaphysical study. Here's one of the two feature articles from the October issue. The other featured article is Mercury Retrograde-That Time We Love to Hate! (see links, below). I hope you enjoy it! - Ellyn       (and look for my article in the December "Predictions Issue" of the Sedona Journal of Emergence!)

Halloween, Death, and the Thinning of the Veils

Halloween is upon us, that wonderful time of dressing up our alter-egos and taking them out on the town, bedecking our houses with orange and black, carving ghoulish grins on pumpkins, and collecting—or handing out—Tricks and Treats. It is a remake of the ancient festival of Samhain, the end of the harvest, the beginning of the "dark" time of the year, when the veils between the living and the dead are said to be very thin.

The fascination with Halloween, especially the ghosties and ghoulies part is, in itself, fascinating, given the fear and denial of death that is so deeply embedded in our culture. In fact, in the U.S., the whole idea of death is practically taboo, and it seems the only approved discourse about it is in terms of ghosts on Halloween.
