Book of Samhain

The Moon is Filling, The Veil is Thinning, Samhain is Coming and the Doors are Opening!

Happy Magickal, Mystical, Misty, Mizzly, Magnificent, Musical, Manifesting Monday!

Oh my gosh, so many things to share and explore this week! Whoot!

First things first, for all of you who have emailed asking if there is going to be a Magikal Manual for Samhain (Halloween), you bet! It was meant to be ready today, however, with a delicious bout of food poisoning over the weekend, things got a bit waylaid, lol! So it should be out later this week!

And for all of you asking when the doors of Creatrix Circle are opening – later this week, in time for our wonderful Samhain gathering.

On Wednesday we welcome in the delicious Full Moon in Aries, aka The Hunter Moon.

The energy of this Full Moon is deep and intense, but they offer us some wisdom, healing, and insights too, tying in with the veil thinning and Samhain coming.

As Forever shares: This configuration of energy can create a building of tension, but sometimes we need tension in order to inspire action.

Sometimes, it takes feeling stretched to your limits in order to put your foot down, speak your truth, set boundaries, and act, in an effort to change your situation.

The spiritual meaning of this Hunter Moon is focused on internal work and self-reflection. So begins the dark half of the year. Accept and welcome the darkness with open arms and spirit.

It’s a moment to look back in history to our ancestors and the lessons they can teach us.

It’s a wonderful time for gratitude and appreciation for what Nature has given us. You can feel the magical energy in the air right now as the veil grows thin and the ability to communicate with our ancestors or loved one’s increases. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth and goal setting.

Now is the season for deep internal work and journaling or working in your BOS can be really beneficial. Don’t be afraid to look into that darkness inside of you and figure out what it wants to show you about who you are!

No judgment, be as kind to yourself as you would a loved one! There is so much happiness and magick to be found in the darkness and gloom.

Take some time on Wednesday, light a candle, cleanse your crystals, make moon water – or just sit and reflect on your ancestors, the gratitude that fills your heart and what wants to be found in the warm, welcoming dark.

So what does it mean when someone says The Veil is Thinning? Tess very kindly shares some amazing insight for you.

Let’s begin this exploration by considering that on one level, we are each separate beings with our finite little lives. But on a truer level, we are each infinite and eternal. We have no beginning and no end. And we are one with each other and every single thing.

At Samhain, that relentless, all-pervasive Mystery is as close as it ever gets. And now we’ve arrived at what we mean when we say “the veil is thin.”

You might say the veil is the place where the everyday illusion of separation brushes up against the divine truth of eternity and universal interconnection. The place where form meets spirit, seen meets unseen, known meets unknown.

When we meditate or perform ritual, or when we have a mystical experience of any variety, this curtain parts and we are able to gaze into the place of power, the place between the worlds.

Why does the veil thin throughout October, and particularly at Samhain?

Because the days are getting shorter and the natural world is preparing to temporarily withdraw from the realm of life and growth. The harvest cycle is waning, but it’s not gone.

This means Samhain is a transition: a doorway between the season of life and the season of death. Beneath this realm of constant change, there is a wide open space of eternity. A place of stillness in which the appearance of change arises. A serene openness to which we will always return, and with which we are one, even at this very moment.

Do you see how it all ties together? The Moon, The Veil, Samhain, Nature – all of it? And think, you are a beautiful thread in this amazing tapestry!

Okay, enough chuntering on let’s crack on with the reading! When I went to the cards to ask who wanted to guide, heal and support this week I was delighted to see that The Spirit of the Animals Oracle chose to shine.

So in case you may have never met them, let me introduce you. “Animal Medicine, Animal Totems, and Animal Mascots have had cultural significance throughout our history. Europeans adopted animals as tribal symbols that were later incorporated into crests for nations. China has an animal associated with every birthday. The Romans celebrated the eagle as the symbol for the empire. Our ancestors observed the appearance of animals as omens and signs. Shamans and mystics rely on spirit animal helpers. Native Americans have vision quests to discover their personal animal totem. School sports teams choose animal mascots. It is no wonder that the interest in animals as emblems and how they relate to us still persists. Animals as symbols live in our deepest memory.”

Wonderful! So my darling one just settle in. Allow your breath to bring you back into your body and call back all the pieces of you that you may have left in various places throughout the last week. Just breathe them all back to your core, like welcoming in little sparks of starlight.

To help you with this, there’s a lovely guided visualisation where we shall go for a little walk together, yes?

Did you remember to pick?

Let’s go see shall we?

LIZARD

Lizard is an Ancient One. They are reptiles from an older time. Their quick action and quirky maneuvers outwit and confuse their adversaries. Lizards survive.

Lizard is sometimes called the “little dragon”. Lizard medicine has the power of regeneration and transformation. Lizards can shed their skin, their tail, let go of the past and step into a positive future. Lizard people know they can survive anything and heal against incredible odds. They are powerful dreamers and should pay attention to messages that come from their subconscious. You can receive warnings that will help you avoid pitfalls.

If Lizard has chosen you, you have the “little dragon” within. Dragons are those who are free of the limitations of the past and transform into greater awareness of self and personal power. With Lizard medicine, you can transcend injury and hardship. Lizard people re-grow and renew themselves into wholeness.

As a survivor you are unparalleled,

No matter what happens you can adapt.

Embrace your transformation.

Put on your new cloak,

You are a master of regeneration.

PEACOCK

The Peacock is the most iridescent of all birds. Their feathered cloak of blue, aqua and gold is worthy of royalty. Their boisterous cries hold both mockery and laughter, which comes from their regal self-confidence. Peacocks are blessed with clear vision that notices the smallest detail. Because of their ability to eat poisonous snakes, Peacocks we4r4 used as protectors in ancient temples. If Peacock appears good luck will follow. The feathers of Peacock are symbols for protection, prosperity and sensuality. The Peacock is a symbol for rebirth and new beginning like its cousin the esuvie Phoenix.

If Peacock has walked into your life you have a colourful and vibrant personality that is sure to win admirers. You can raise yourself to great heights of brilliance in your field. Peacock people have the gift of observation and kenn perception. Your inner vision brings you wisdom and foresight. You must guard against letting your vanity or pride get the better of you. The best Peacocks are just their authentic selves. Your positivity and radiance helps lift others up to realise their own worth.

You were born to shine and inspire.

Practice humility to avoid jealousy.

Be grateful for life

And more good things will come.

Be true to yourself and

Recognise your brilliance.

OWL

Owl is the messenger and revealer of secrets. The totem of oracles and seers, Owl sits on their shoulder and is their advisor When Owl flies into your life know that a time of unveiling is at hand and the truth will be made known. Change is in the wind. Owl medicine can help you release the past and fly into a better future. Owls are creatures of the night. Their silent flight and superior vision make them supreme hunters. They capture the prize. If they cross your path repeatedly it is a warning to review your situation and see where deception is lurking. To see an owl can be an omen that a profound change is coming.

If Owl is your totem you are an Old Soul. You succeed with wisdom. No one can deceive you and you see into others’ souls. Be sure to keep your knowledge secret unless asked to provide counsel. Trust should not be broken. Ask your Owl totem to sit on your shoulder and guide you. Become the conscious student of Owl. Embrace your gifts and fly with the masters

Choose to know the truth because you can.

Open your inner vision.

You can see through deception.

Let the past go and make room for a better life.

Rise up, Magick and Wisdom are your birthright.

Oh my Goddess! Perfect guides for this week. Regeneration, Vibrance and Magick! Whoot! So darling one, have a fabulous week. If you are part of our amazing email community you will get notified this week about the Magickal Manual for Samhain and when the doors open for Creatrix Circle (we would love for you to join our amazing community). Big hugs and squeezes and remember to play with the Moon and take extra D3!

Samhain is almost here, Full Moon in Taurus, and time to embrace your shadows.

Happy Miraculous, Magickal, Mystical, Melancholy, Magnificent, Misty, Merry, Manifesting Monday!

How are you fabulous one? We have had amazing weather here for the last two days, the absolute epitome of Fall! Cold, crisp, breezy, bright and the colours on the trees are stupendous! So I made sure I got out in the leaves this weekend (even bundled up to the hilt) and revelled in it all, as it will be gone soon enough.

What I am absolutely pig wiggly tickled about is, Samhain is almost here!!! (You may know it as Halloween) and I love, love, love Halloween. The smells, the leaves, the costumes, the decorating – the whole nine yards!

At the time that most of us celebrate Halloween it is also the festival of Samhain, the third and final Harvest festival where we celebrate with fire, eating and honouring the dead. In many places, Samhain coincides with the end of the growing season. Vegetation dies back with killing frosts, and therefore, literally, death is in the air. This contributes to the ancient notion that at Samhain, the veil is thin between the world of the living and the realm of the Dead and this facilitates contact and communication. This is also the Celtic New Year. Now I know some people get a tad tweaky when we talk Death, but death represents a release, whether it’s a release of breath, a release of habit, a release of a relationship. That’s all it is.

So to help you with one of the most important celebrations on The Wheel of the Year, and to share with you rituals to celebrate your ancestors, I have created a fabulous Book of Samhain (fondly referred to as BOS). 39 pages of information, rituals, crystals, guided visualisation and all sorts more. And as I love to give gifts – I have made it 70% off!

On Samhain (October 31st) we have our second Full Moon of the month. This is the first full moon to fall on Halloween since 2001 and we won’t see another one until 2039. Having two full moons within the same month indicates an overall theme of release, and it seems there is a lot unraveling under the power of this Blue Moon. Which ties in seamlessly with the energy of Samhain.

Under the dim light of the Blue Moon, visualize your chakras awakening one by one. See them shining like bright balls of rainbow light. See them opening and connecting you to your higher self and to the realms above.

As Forever shares:- “If you have a loved one that has crossed over, on this night say a special prayer, or do something to remind you of them. Eat their favorite food, or light a candle in their name.

And beyond reaching out to passed loved ones, make time to acknowledge the “deaths” both great and small in your life. There are so many things that have “died” this year, so honor the ones that matter most to you, even if they are a little painful.

Look to nature for guidance, as it is always showing us how it dies and rebirths itself again and again. So, while this Blue Moon carries some volatility, it also reminds us to get grounded and rooted in our being, so we can reach into the realms unknown.

So on Samhain the sky is going to be bright with this glorious Taurus Full Moon, which creates a glorious mix of Shadow and Light. Yet I see so many people stuffing what they perceive as their “Shadow” pieces. The pieces that they don’t like, or that are judged by others as “not suitable for present company!” This in turn creates a fragmentation and a sense of not being whole, it also encourages people pleasing and mask wearing to fit it.

So what if on Samhain you chose to release stuffing your shadows and really embrace, love and trust all the different parts of you that work together as you live your most creative, honest and beautiful life?

What if you actually remember and embrace all you are – a wholeness? Remembering the important life lessons that have come our way, such as: – I remember that masks that stay on too long will stick to my skin. I remember I always have a choice. I remember that if I am asked to keep a piece of me hidden, this is not where I belong. It’s about diving into your core values and living them.

So, when I went to the cards and asked who would like to guide and teach this week I nearly snorted tea out of my nose when I saw who were most adamant. (Seriously you can’t make this shit up!) The glorious Oracles of Shadow and Light, were most adamant they should be front and centre. Now if these amazing guides are new to you, please let me introduce them:- “Wisdom for Misfits, Mystics, Seekers, and Wanderers. Bittersweet…Unheard…Unconventional…Rebellious…Cheeky…Whimsical…Invisible. They’re not the words you often hear associated with the spiritual world, are they? Nevertheless, some of the most spiritual beings who have ever lived are those who have been most at odds with what we call the mainstream. They do not fit in. They have had moments of despair. And they know being truthful, and being real, is one of the greatest strengths and spiritual paths of all! They ask you to step out from the shadows, to no longer hide your light away, and to consult with an oracle that acknowledges your individuality and strange genius!”

How’s that for a warm welcome?

Thus with the thought of wholeness, reclaiming the energy that you use to hide pieces of yourself or your pain, that sense of release – close your eyes down and just breathe. Just breathe, trust and allow this all to swirl. Then when you are ready, pick the card or cards that tug.

Did you remember to pick?

Come see what the guides want to share with you.

SEA BEACON FAIRY

Sometimes, when a clear path seems to be taking you in the right direction, it helps to know who is holding the light up. Because while this beautiful Sea Beacon Fairy is most certainly guiding a lost ship, who knows whether she leads it toward rocks or toward safe harbour? And this is the choice you have to make now. Is this path that is clearly being lit the right one? Simply because there is light, is the source a true and good guide? Would you be best to await another way out of the storm – or are you so eager to avoid the storm and the challenge that you will follow the first light that comes along?

The Sea Beacon fairy speaks to you and says – “I do hold up the light – but only you can choose as to whether the direction I will lead you is the right one for you at this time. It may be your salvation I lead you to – and it may be that I am gathering souls and you will perish upon rocks, or down in cold seas. I know this is hard to hear…..It is not a sure thing, this advice and guidance you have received, and for all its insistence that it ‘comes from the light,’ the advice may not be that which you need to follow at this time. I understand this may be confusing. But I am assuring you mostly of one great truth. That perhaps you must find your own way out at this time.”

A perfect solution to a problem has been presented to you. But whether it is wise to take it is another thing altogether. You may have more resources and opportunities than you are aware of or than you are allowing yourself to believe in. Do not be too quick to follow the first opportunity that comes. Wait, and check both your sources and your inner wisdom. There are many paths and many solutions. Not all advice will be right for you.

SEA STORM

Even though the seas are wild, the atmosphere is torn with stabs of lightning, and there is no land in sight, the Sea Storm being is following her intuition and she will know what to do to make it home. Lightning won’t strike her, and she will keep swimming until she reaches land.

She seems slightly in a trance and is using her inner wisdom and deep knowledge to swim home. She is from Atalantis, where she saw beings doing things that would lead to destruction. She has seen how their hubris led to this upheaval, and her home has sunk under the waves. She now goes out in search of her new home. So, too, can you.

Sea storm shares with you – “You are surrounded by storms, wild moments, and a great deal of emotional drama at this time. The world you know may be changing in almost unrecognisable ways. There is destruction behind you, and you have left it in the past, but you are still searching for your new home. You will find it if you turn inwards and listen to the inner knowledge that will send you in the right direction. Don’t ‘look’…Look.

You are a shapeshifter, and you are able to make it through this time with no land, no home, and no apparent rescue by trusting that you will make it.”

This is a time of upheaval and great change, but if you tune in to that deep inner voice and follow the radar you have built into your very cells, you will find the way home through all this chaos and wreckage.

The old world is gone: the new world is yet to be found. The journey will continue for some time – but trust. Trust. Trust and follow the compass of your inner guidance. Listen, check in with your wisdom, then go in that direction.

You are more adaptable, more flexible, more able to survive than you know. Interest in the lands of Lemuria and ATalantis and memories of these lands may be resurfacing and will serve you well.

PINK LOTUS FAIRY

You may love your guilt-free rants, staying up too late, and happily behaving badly, but you’re about to balance all that out with some very powerful new spiritual teachings and connections.

You are to meet a wise one who seems very still, very slow, and very peaceful. She will be tranquil and serene and immersed in a path that until now has felt too slow, or “foreign,” for you. But this teacher, who is represented by the Pink Lotus Fairy, will assist you in finding more of your soul’s true wisdom. Within this time of inner discovery, you will commit to disciplined new training in the mental realms: study and physical movement that is unfamiliar to you, all of which helps you to naturally choose thoughts that are empowering and enlivening, yet completely authentic and real.

You will learn to be still and to listen to the beat of your heart without giving in to restlessness, or the critical voice inside, or the cliches the ego loves to trip you up with. After you have learned more discipline through peaceful practice of meditation or exercise or mantras, you will nurture yourself more willingly, without guilt, and you will have returned to a place of tranquility, self-love and peace.

You will bring into balance your own shadows and light. Don’t worry – you will be happier and more peaceful, but you won’t be boring! You could never be!

There is a deep and true part of yourself that has long yearned for acknowledgement, fulfillment, and the nirvana that is on its way.

Wowzer, wowzer, wowzer. What fabulous messages for this time, Samhain, Full Moon and where we are at this moment in time. So most gorgeous bean, I wish for you a stupendous week filled with ease, release, tears and laughter. Be gentle with yourself and those around you and take some time on Samhain to really practice your magick and release the old year and welcome in the new one, and if you need ideas and support. The Book of Samhain is available. Big hugs and squeezes!
