I awoke to a beautiful Samhain morn. C and I are currently continuing our daily morning ritual of sipping coffee while we are on our respective computers catching up on what has transpired in the world over night. I've taken today off from work, something I try to do every year. I do have to stop by the store and put my weekly orders in, but that shouldn't take more than 1/2 an hour. Then I'll be able to focus on the holiday.
I plan to construct a small Ancestor Altar, go for a long meditative walk, do several tarot readings (that I plan to post whilest they happen), and prepare an amazing feast for tonight. Samhain is a time of deep reflection. I feel its a day to not only look back and honor what has passed, but also a time to look forward into the world you wish to inhabit.
Several years ago, I remember reading something Thorn Coyle had written regarding working ritual into daily mundane tasks. She used the example of washing away negetivity while showering. As part of my re-devotion to my spiritual side and as a way to honor the Sacred Wound while letting go and moving forward into a more nourished and fulfilled me, I used this sort of ritual this morning. I often walk away from ritual feeling tired, needing grounding, and yet knowing that change has occured deeply within. Today the feeling of change is there, but it is just below the surface, slowly taking root so that it may flourish. Here's to a new year filled with wonder!
