Gloom and Gleam Healing

10/01/2025

The Celts rarely dealt with absolutes. One of my favorite examples is two animal symbols of Samhain. The season deals with endurance, survival, and battle. The boar, a fearsome beast, is a clear champion of the warrior spirit. The hare, with his quick reflexes and lightning fast speed is the opposite dynamic.

Sometimes to survive we must face things head on, ripping and tearing our way through. Others, we need to get away and wait until the danger has passed. Both are needed in our lives.

True wisdom is learning which you need.

We'll be diving into the teachings and traditions of Samhain this Saturday October 4th at Information and 🔗 above

I always set up my alter up early. It's in a different space than usual, and I love it so much. It makes me smile and feel so comforted every time I pass it.

Had a beautiful time of connection with sisters to start the season. Ladybug spirit sat with me in lieu of a dearly missed friend. Today I drew cards for this time and all pointed to truth, sincerity, and community.

Wishing you all that and more this Lughnasadh season!

I love how older traditions center food in so many ceremonies. It helps us remember that everything we do is part of the sacred.

Come join in a bread blessing this Saturday!

Y'all. The world feels like s**t right now. And a lot of it is. But we cannot let that keep us from fighting. Take a breath. Walk outside. Wonder in the fact that you're gardening with a squirrel (the peanuts with the cilantro are all theirs), that the light is beautiful at sunset. Take the time to grieve or rant or scream.

We cannot let this world take our hearts.
