It's Time for Samhain! (Oct 31- Nov 1)

What is Samhain? In the Celtic calendar, Samhain marks the end of summer and the harvest season, and the beginning of the dark, cold winter months. It falls opposite Beltane on May 1, which represents the beginning of spring and the life-filled growing season.

It’s believed that the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest on Samhain. Historically, people were worried that they would encounter ornery spirits if they ventured outside on Samhain night, so they dressed as ghosts or wore masks to disguise themselves. Folks would leave treats on their front porch or place an extra setting at the table to welcome any friendly spirits who stopped by. You can see how these Samhain rituals easily morphed into our modern-day version of trick-or-treating in costume.

Nighttime bonfires were another of the long-standing Samhain rituals - this one was thought to help combat the impending darkness of winter and the fearful chill that accompanied the idea of roaming spirits. Because the veil between living and dead is believed to be the thinnest on this night, Samhain is also a powerful night for divination and spellcasting by candlelight.

Usual Symbols of Samhain:

Ale or Mead

Pumpkins

Skulls

Besom or Broom

Beans

Cauldron

Bats

Keys

Squash

Pomegranate

Nuts

Apples and Cider

Bones

Herbs and Plants for Samhain:

Rosemary – Associated with remembrance and is needed during this season in taking time to honor the memories of our ancestors and other lost loved ones. Can be used in an incense blend and at ancestor altar

Fall Flowers – Includes flowers like marigolds and chrysanthemums. Are associated with protection and chrysanthemums come in handy with connecting to the spirit world

Apples (the fruit, branches and blossoms) – Is considered sacred to a lot of gods. A good apple harvest means that the gods have shown the community their favor. You can use apples in different rituals, especially divination

Pomegranates – Is associated with the realm of the underworld and helps with communication with the dead. It is also associated with fertility of the fall.

Squashes, Pumpkins and Gourds – Is associated with abundance and provides sustenance for your family when the fields become bare and covered in snow. Is linked to psychic awareness and development and protection.

Mugwort – Is associated with divination and dreaming. Using Mugwort baths or incenses in the rituals can focus on treating depression, especially with the seasons changing

Rowan Trees – The branches and berries are a way to keep evil spirits out of your house and are associated with good health. If you plant a tree near a grave, it will prevent the dead from rising.

Sage – Is associated with cleansing and grounding. Is a great incense to cleanse your home to bring in the new and out with the old

Hawthorn – Has been associated with the gateway between humans and the spirit world. Is also rumored to an area where you can see fairies.

Bloodstone – Known to heal cardiovascular illness and disease. Can help with ancestry links and work

Spirit Quartz – Is great in helping communicate with the spirits of Samhain and releasing old and toxic habits

Lepidolite – Used to appease the fairies that roam during Samhain

Serpentine – Is associated with snakes and aids in remembering past lives. Loki seems to like this stone and may be great to use for him if you work with him during this season

Dragonstone – Dragons are guardians of the earth, spirits of place, and connect us to Mother Nature. Helps say goodbye to the old years and our old selves

Skull shaped Stones – Since skulls are symbols of Samhain, skull shaped stone can help with symbolism during this holiday. They represent the life-death-rebirth cycle, wisdom and our ancestors

Spells and Rituals:

A Samhain Tea (Apple and Hawthorn Berry)

1 apple, sliced

2 Tablespoon dried hawthorn berries (or 4 Tablespoons fresh)

1 cinnamon stick

A pinch of cloves

4 cups water

Honey, to taste (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a small stockpot.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Strain the plant material from the tea, then transfer the tea into two mugs.

Enjoy one for yourself, and leave the other on your table or front porch to nourish any wandering spirits who may pass while the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest.

A Pumpkin Spell for Prosperity

A pumpkin

Some paint

Go to the pumpkin patch (or local store) and select a pumpkin. Or let the pumpkin choose you.

Bring it home and paint prosperity symbols on it – money signs, runes for prosperity or harvest glyphs (whatever means prosperity to you).

Then place by your front door to invite prosperous vibes into your home this Samhain season.

Bonfire Release Purification Spell

Paper

Pen

Source of fire (bonfire, fireplace, candle flame)

Gather your materials and sit by the fire.

Take a few minutes to just listen to the fire crackling.

Gaze into the flames and connect with this powerful element.

Next begin to think about what habit or person you are releasing this Samhain. Think about why you’re purifying your life from this thing or person.

Then write the habit or person down on the piece of paper.

Fold it away from you 3 times.

Hold it in your hands and allow all of the negative thoughts and energies inside of you to “drain” out of you and into the paper.

Then throw it in the fire and say,

“After this Samhain, never again. Never again. I release _________ from my life by the power of the Samhain fire. So, mote it be.”

How to Make a Samhain Altar

Beautiful autumn leaves or flowers that you collect on a nature walk

A candle

A mugwort bundle

A string of rowan beads

A bowl of apples or a small pumpkin

A hawthorn wand or bowl of freshly picked hawthorn berries

A picture of your ancestors

To make an altar, first find a corner of your home or a table surface where you can arrange a few treasures. You don’t need a ton of space. You could use the top of a dresser, the corner of your desk, an unused side table, etc.

After you’ve assembled your altar, spend some time sitting quietly in the space. Light the candle and/or mugwort wand, sip on a cup of Apple & Hawthorn Berry Tea and meditate on this energetically powerful day.

I could find specific written instructions for a crystal grid but I found a video!

Exploring Sacred Geometry: Unlocking the Mysteries of Divine Proportions 🌸🔺🔵◻️

Hello darlings 🥰

Today, let's delve into the fascinating world of sacred geometry and unravel the profound secrets hidden within its intricate patterns. Sacred geometry is a universal language that transcends cultures and time, reflecting the inherent order and harmony of the cosmos. It offers a window into the interconnectedness of all things and provides a profound tool for spiritual growth and understanding. So, let's embark on a journey into the realm of sacred geometry together!

🌸 The Flower of Life:

At the heart of sacred geometry lies the Flower of Life, a mesmerizing pattern formed by overlapping circles. It is a symbol of creation and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Meditate upon its symmetrical beauty and allow its energy to awaken your connection to the divine.

🔺 The Power of Triangles:

Triangles hold immense power in sacred geometry. The equilateral triangle represents balance and harmony, while the upward-pointing triangle symbolizes fire, passion, and spiritual ascension. The downward-pointing triangle represents water, intuition, and the divine feminine. Incorporate triangles into your spiritual practice to tap into these energies.

🔵 The Magic of Circles:

Circles are ancient symbols of wholeness, unity, and eternity. They represent the cyclical nature of life and the infinite possibilities within the universe. Meditate upon circles, draw mandalas, or use circular objects in your rituals to connect with the energy of completeness and divine unity.

◻️ The Power of Squares:

Squares symbolize stability, structure, and the material realm. They represent the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—and provide a foundation for manifesting desires. Work with squares in your sacred space or incorporate them into your crystal grids to establish a strong and stable energetic framework.

✨ The Golden Ratio:

The Golden Ratio, often represented by the number phi (Φ), is a mathematical proportion found abundantly in nature and art. It is a ratio believed to embody perfect harmony and beauty. Explore the Golden Ratio in nature, art, and architecture and contemplate its presence in the world around you.

🌳 Sacred Symbols:

Discover sacred symbols derived from sacred geometry, such as the Sri Yantra, Metatron's Cube, or the Tree of Life. These symbols are potent energetic tools that can be used for meditation, manifestation, and spiritual alignment. Study their meanings and explore how they resonate with your journey.

🔷 Crystal Grids and Mandalas:

Combine the power of sacred geometry with the energy of crystals by creating crystal grids or mandalas. Arrange crystals in sacred geometric patterns to amplify their energies and intentions. Draw mandalas inspired by sacred geometry to express your inner connection with the divine.

◻️ Sound and Sacred Geometry:

Explore the relationship between sound and sacred geometry. Discover the resonant frequencies associated with specific geometric shapes and how sound vibrations can harmonize and heal. Experiment with sound healing modalities, such as chanting, singing bowls, or tuning forks, to enhance your experience with sacred geometry.

✨ Meditation and Contemplation:

Engage in meditative practices centered around sacred geometry. Visualize geometric patterns, focus on specific shapes, or use sacred geometry artwork as a focal point for your meditation. Allow these visualizations to calm your mind, expand your consciousness, and deepen your spiritual connection.

Sacred geometry is a gateway to understanding the divine order that permeates the universe. It invites us to recognize the inherent beauty and interconnectedness of all things. Embrace the language of sacred geometry, and allow it to guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

I have made and begun listening to a Spotify playlist full of Nordic folk music. It's a vastly different vibe than Celtic or Irish folk, which I have spent some time with in the past. This music makes me feel more connected to my ancestors.

I set up the crystal grid for clearing the mind and focus. I used tiger's eye for focus and mental clarity, smoky quartz for clear positive thinking, and amethyst for knocking out anxiety and easing tension.

I also spent quite a bit of time today doing some surface research into Norse deities. The ones that stood out at first glance are Odin, Freyja, Frigg, and Tyr. I will have to do more research and meditation to determine if any of them are right for my practice.

Overall, I'm feeling optimistic and focused.

Almost finished my Earth table.

Image Description:

It is a three layered shelf with the bottom shelves being the same length and the top layer is about 1/3 the size. On the side it has 2 round accents on the top shelf a corner sides, and three bars/columns underneath that connect the top shelf to the bottom, along with 2 thicker panels that hold the back of the top layer and 2 curved L shaped panels on the front of the top layer connecting it to the middle layer, the inner part of each are bright blue. It is mostly green from top to middle, the bottom shelf and legs are painted gold. The green half of the table is cover is small wildflowers and tiny green leaves.

I made one side have golden accents for the Sun, and the other silver for the Moon. The bars are supposed to be the Sun and Moons rays coming down to the Earth. The blue is for the sky (there are clouds) and the ocean, one side is clear skies with birds the other is rainy. In the ocean I put little fish. The top has a Flower of Life grid on it that I printed out and stuck on cause when I tried to draw it, it came out pretty terrible lol, I got too shaky of hands. Covered it up with a cobblestone pattern around the rim.

The gold on the bottom is supposed to be the soil, the flowers and the green are the grass and on top of it is the Earth Element symbol.

End image description.

I'm ganna put tiny animals around it (probably something to do with tarot since I've got the birds and the fish already.)

I need more gold paaaaaaint, the bottom layer isn't fully covered :0
