Samhain, which is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year, is believed by many to be a time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest. Here are some ways to prepare for the energy and spirits around us on Samhain:
- Set intentions: Reflect on what you want to release and let go of, and what you want to manifest and bring into your life.
- Cleanse and consecrate your space: Use sage, sweetgrass, or other cleansing herbs to remove negative energy and invite positive energy into your home.
- Honor your ancestors: Set up an altar or shrine to honor your ancestors and loved ones who have passed on. Include photos, mementos, and offerings.
- Connect with nature: Spend time in nature, reflect on the changing seasons, and honor the cycles of life and death.
- Practice divination: Use tarot, runes, or other forms of divination to connect with the spirits and gain insight into the future.
- Be open and receptive: Allow yourself to be open and receptive to the energies and spirits around you. Listen to your intuition and trust your instincts.
Remember, Samhain is a time for connection, reflection, and celebration. By preparing yourself and your space, you can deepen your experience and connect with the spirits and energies around you.
