It's Samhain!
If there's ever a time when we shouldn't have to mention the
specific date, it would be Samhain, and it is Samhain!
According to lore, Samhain is the time of the year when the veil
between the worlds is thinnest. That is when we can most
easily reach through the veil to those on the other side, and when
those on the other side can most easily reach through to us.
That is not to say that it is not possible at other times, because
it certainly is. But this is when it is the easiest to get
things done which involve both sides of the veil.
This is when we can remember those who have left us, especially
those who have left us since last Samhain. But we can also
remember anyone else who has left, even someone who left before we
began this particular incarnation. Not only do I commemorate
those I knew, I also commemorate those I wish that I would have
known (and maybe might have known in another life).
This is a time when we can also look ahead to what is to
come. Do you have a vision of what you wish to make of your
future? I certainly do. And if you do, now is a great
time to ask for it.
So long as you remember the basic "rules" about what you wish for,
there is no limit. And, it can happen.
Why do I say that it can happen? You might recall my comments
about Chase Utley, the second baseman of the Philadelphia
Phillies. He and his wife Jen do a lot for animals.
They came to my attention about a year ago when they were involved
in the rescue of a dog who had been terribly abused. I'm not
a fan of athletics, but someone like that has my respect. It
became my opinion that someone like that deserved the best honor he
could achieve in his profession - and in his case, that would be
winning the World Series. And he did! And those of you
who joined in with me had a part of it.
So, yes you can!
And so, this celebration of Samhain can be the most powerful that
you have ever experienced, if you're willing to see what's on the
other side of the door.
Blessed Be!
