Well we are all delighted to get this this important feast day on our calendar -- this is a day which has been steeped in magic, change and shifting energy over the centuries. However for the most part, it's deeper meanings remain clear. All you really need do is lightly scratch the surface.
Today being associated with all things that are dead or passed on into these other worlds makes it's meaning clear in that we should look to the shadow realms. Here we will find all that we are seeking - if we dare to pick our way amongst the old bones.
I have long wondered why there is so much fear associated with Halloween - scary night that it is. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that these doors are not always open to us - what if this one particular door was only open at this one time of the year?
Whatever those of us who are in the living dimensions need to find beyond that door, must then be retrieved at this point. It's a bit like a time lapse - the door opens for a short period of time, we need to go through, do the work on the systems, find what we have lost and return to the land of the living. Intact.
Then again what if we don't really have a choice? What if all of humankind gets thrust into these shadowlands for this brief period of time and then are expected to be able to navigate our way safety back home at the end of the day?
Of course those of us walking a spiritual path would have a particular interest in traversing these boundaries at this time of year - this is 'all souls', or an opportunity to piece back together our souls. Which have been shattered, broken and lost along these lifetimes of change, abuse, fear, hatred and all manner of negativity. Now is an opportunity to set things right.
Keep looking, there is a long night ahead of us.....
