Mystical Magic : Have a Magical Samhain with the Fae!

Greetings Fellow Metaphysicians!

Today is a special day (and evening) for the spirit world, ESPECIALLY the FAE!!

We know it's Halloween, or All Hollow's Eve, and we know it to be Trick or Treat for the kids (and some adults). It also has an important title named SAMHAIN. This means "summer's end", and originated with Celtic tradition, and the festival to celebrate the coming of Winter. It later became Hallow'een, or rather, celebrating the hallowed and dearly departed spirits, including Saints and Angels, and of course the FAE. This, of course, meant it was a very sacred, religious day, contrary to what many of the current religions have to say about it.

While it begins on October 31st, it can extend through November 2nd, and this year all the way to the Full Moon on November 6th, when we can all celebrate with a full blown and exciting Samhain Full Moon ritual. The most important thing to remember is to connect to the departed souls we love dearly, those we have known on earth and those in the spirit. Remember the "veil is thin".

Set up your altars to honor the "passed" with pictures, candles, special trinkets, crystals, oils, etc., Don't forget about the Fae, who are probably spending their time partying outside in the moon and starlight. Of course, the night of trick or treat for the little ones is a fun time, so imagine what it's like for the spirit world. A fire in the hearth or outside in the pit is a good idea. I would tend to avoid "bonfires" on Samhain, as they are so reminding of the "burning of the witches". The old Celtic civilizations were so respectful of spirits and elementals that it's nice to know we can assimilate a healthy, joyous meaning to this Holiday.

As a side note Pluto, Mars, Venus , and the Sun are cooperating with each other. That's a good thing! Especially with Neptune, who is enjoying this evening. Nothing like a lovely Faerie Holiday, with Neptune shining so brightly with everything and everyone.

Leave gifts for the Fae, spend some time out in the moonlight, and fear absolutely nothing....this is a magical time with joy, happiness, and abundance for all! Prepare for the long nights, and be thankful for the harvest.
