Samhain has arrived, announcing that the time of descent and endings is upon us.

This is a time to not only descend into our own psychological dirt, but to look back at the soil we have come from, the soil of our ancestors, the stories and compost that they left behind and the lessons we can learn from their journeys.

It is time to honour all that lies in the darkness, to celebrate the long line of those you have come and to remember that descent is not an ending, but the way all life begins again.

I like to think all the dads in heaven get to come down today and spend it with their precious ones. But you must invite them. Say their names, play their favourite music and tell that joke that made everyone groan. They will come. The thing about love is, it doesn't die, you see. It places precious parts of souls in loved ones hearts and that, that lasts an eternity. Much longer than we can imagine. So, if you are finding today hard, look for them in the moments...I believe they're trying really hard to let you know, they're still here.

Today represents the first stirring of the light and the warmth of the coming spring.

A midway point between winter solstice and the spring equinox, when the days continually grow longer and barren trees stir with new life. Imbolc marks the last call for winter medicine, if you haven't rested enough, take these next few weeks to honour this cycle. Being one of the wise requires nothing more than taking natures messages to heart.

Dedicated to the Celtic goddess Brigit who reigns over hearth and home and is known as the keeper of the eternal flame, the fire within that burns even in the darkest of places, on the coldest of nights.

The celebrations of Imbolc often involved lighting candles or torches to honour Brigit and banish the lingering darkness of winter. These flames symbolised hope, illumination and the spark of life that begins to flicker in the earth.

Calling in a new year in the dead of winter pushes against the seasons and cycles of the earth. The pressure and normalisation of goal setting, planning and taking action come January 1st, goes so deeply against our own physiology.
In the depths of winter, nature reflects to us her quiet, still, restful state of being. Nothing is growing, creating, or expanding. Nature turns her attention inwards. Conserves her energy for spring.
Our winter season is an invitation for deep rest after a spring, summer and autumn of planning, seeding, growing and harvesting.

Don't fight the urge to slow down.

Honour and mirror the earth...she holds the wisdom we've forgotten...she is our guide πŸ’š

WINTER SOLSTICE: Return to the way πŸ€β„οΈ

Historically, the winter Solstice was always a time for homecoming. In cosmic terms, it is when the Earth begins to tilt back towards the Sun, gradually returning more light to our days. But like the celestial bodies, people from many cultures would also return to their heart's home for the holy days ahead.

In ancient China, they would close the passes at Solstice. No merchants could travel, not even royalty would visit other regions. Instead, they returned to β€œwhere they should be” both in the literal sense of going home, and figuratively to the spiritual well.

More than a physiological necessity, hibernation is when we recuperate emotionally and spiritually from the demands of the β€œoutward” seasons. Like a wanderer who has strayed too far from their true path, we may need to reflect on how we got here, acknowledging both the distances we've come and also the losses and estrangements that resulted from our big moves. We may even need to face the veracity of our own motives.

While it may feel like a lack of progress, return is always developmental. When we have grown too distant from our true nature, we have to stop, retrace our steps, and reconnect with the essence of who we are. The ancient Confucion philosopher Zhou Dunyi described this kind of progress as a β€œslow return to original sincerity.” Like drawing down into the stem of one’s character, return pulls us into our origins.

If Solstice were a question, it might ask, β€œFrom what have I strayed too far?” In the haste of activity and progress, what essential values have I left behind? What did an earlier version of me know better than I? As we transition from the active, outward life to the inner world, we may discover a disconnect between our ambitions and the way our soul longs to sing. We can ask, β€œDoes my intent line up with my actions, and capacity for those actions?”

It is a return to this sincerity that is being asked of us, and is what will put us back in right relation with all of nature.

'Tell Augustine that he should by no means destroy the temples of the gods but rather the idols within those temples. Let him, after he has purified them with holy water, place altars and relics of the saints in them. For, if those temples are well built, they should be converted from the worship of demons to the service of the true God. Thus, seeing that their places of worship are not destroyed, the people will banish error from their hearts and come to places familiar and dear to them in acknowledgement and worship of the true God. Further, since it has been their custom to slaughter oxen in sacrifice, they should receive some solemnity in exchange. Let them therefore, on the day on the dedication of their churches, or on the feast of the martyrs whose relics are preserved in them, build themselves huts around their one time temples and celebrate the occasion with religious feasting. They will sacrifice and eat the animals not anymore as an offering to the devil, but for the glory of God to whom, as the giver of all things, they will give thanks for having been satiated.'

β€’

The above is an excerpt sent to the first Bishop of Canterbury by Pope Gregory I who headed the Church from A.D. 590 to 604. He sent a missionary to England with the task of converting those with pagan beliefs. The letter advises that the Bishop allow the pagans to continue their worship and practices, but frame these practices in a Christian context.
The night of Samhain became All Hallows Evening, the night before the Saints were venerated. That name eventually morphed into Halloween. The Christianization of pagan traditions, or the outright slaughter of those who worshipped differently, is a long held strategy utilised by the church for millennia, to persecute and suppress those who did not conform to their religious view.

Today, reflect on the countless women whose magic was seen as 'sin'. πŸ™

Samhain marks the time of year when we remember our dead. We remember that we are but one small link in a long chain of people extending back throughout time. We have a history, a lineage of people we are still connected to. Having that sense of history and connection gives us strength, it's why to this day, society still goes a long way in attempting to destroy and uproot our connection to our history, our culture, our land, our origin. Being disconnected from our roots makes us weaker, the weaker we are, the more easily we are taken advantage of.

Being conscious of the support and vastness of our bloodline gives us a powerful sense of being bigger than just ourselves. We really do stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

Let us not forget their contribution to the world. Or the gift of life that they gave us. Make them proud.

Are you giving too much...receiving too little...not giving enough?
Do you need to step up more or step down?
