As the sun sets tonight, we cross a threshold into a 24-hour period when the veil between visible and invisible realities will be as permeable as it will be in our lifetimes.  The day  we know as Halloween is one of the great energetic hinges of the year.  Our Star is equidistant from both the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice and the cosmic mysteries of Light and Dark that each celebrates.   

In the ancient Celtic world, this day was known  as Samhain.  Across the globe, throughout time, it was the Day of the Dead -- a celebration of the profound mystery of transformation that underlies Life in all its forms and cycles.
Here’s why this year's Samhain is different from any other we will ever again experience:

* It takes place during a time of massive cosmic shift. We're crossing an energetic threshold of massive proportions, when great cycles of time, spanning millennia, are concluding and beginning.  In these times, everything that happens is intensified and accelerated.

* It happens as our Sun prepares for a reversal of its polarities.  Over the last week, our Star has sent a powerful surge of solar energy into the Universe, accelerating our individual and our planetary transformation.  

* It occurs during the potent Balsamic Moon that precedes every New Moon.  During the  three- and- a-half day Dark Moon before the New Moon, old energetic forms are dissolved and the  future begins to come into being.  At this time, the cosmic matrix is most receptive to our most deeply felt intentions -- and we are most able to receive evolutionary direction and guidance from the Source.

And see this.

Yesterday morning, on our walk, we passed by the house above, which sported a Dead and Breakfast sign surrounded by a particularly “scary” set of inflatables. If you look at the tall black figure on the right, you’ll see that by its side (at the bottom of the tree) is a black tiger with bright eyes. Well, that tiger’s head moved — from left to right and back again, every few seconds. The effect was decidedly eerie and menacing. Puppy Shadow? Well, for the first time ever, he whimpered. He actually whimpered as we walked by.

“Scared and sacred are spelled with the same letters. Awful proceeds from the same root word as awesome. Terrify and terrific. Every negative experience holds the seed of transformation.” — Alan Cohen

A few years ago, a filmmaker traveled the world, seeking to document places where “scared” turns into “sacred.”

Today is October 31st, Halloween as most of us know it, but its original name was Samhain.  On November 1st is Day of the Dead.

This is the time when the veils between the two worlds, that of the living, and that of the dead is extra thin, although we’ve been told this veil had come down long ago. I’m a firm believer in this concept.

The veil which separated the two worlds is non-existent.  At these special times during the wheel of our year, we are reminded that we walk together as one, living, and non living, with our Galactic families, our guides, and angels, for we are all one.

Please take time today, to light a candle for your dearly departed.  Remember the fond memories you have of them, and wish them well.

Blessings,

Caroline

29.1013 – I woke in the early hours and transcribed these words.

The plight of the Redman was long and hard.  We accept the path we walked was not ours to keep and the meadows we laid down in were sweet indeed.  We sang to the land and she answered through the wind, whispering in the trees and high above the mountain passes.  The road stands clear before us; sweet memories from the past drift into view and we stand at the crag and welcome you here once more.  We rest in the peace and solitude, expressing our heart’s desires, and we openly express our disquietude at certain intervals coming up for inspection.  We know this has been a time of diligence and fortitude and we express our sorrow at such interludes, however, on the horizon is so much more and an opportunity to soar high in the clouds as the Eagle rises in grace and majesty.  We shall not burden you with more trials of endurance, so please be at peace my child.  We overcome a network of high expenditure and low resources - all is about to change for the better!
