The Countdown to Samhain

How excited are you that it’s October and Samhain is coming! I know I am. For the past couple of years now we have been doing the Samhain Countdown on Moonsong Daily Magick. This is being released exclusively to Moonsong Daily Magick members. If you aren’t a member yet, now is the perfect time to join us! You can join us here: Moonsong Daily Magick

So how does this work? I’m going to continue articles as usual throughout the month of October. I realize not everyone wants to do Samhain every day and we have some amazing sisters with us who are from Australia as well. So the special countdown to Samhain is going to be featured right below the main article section of Moonsong Daily Magick. Pretty cool right?

Included in the countdown will be articles with stories, information for you, craft ideas, recipes, special spells, and anything else I come across in my travels this month that I want to share with you regarding Samhain to make this month a little more special for you.

Do you have any Samhain favorite ideas or recipes that you want me to share? I would love you to send them to me at WiccanMoonsong@gmail.com. I would love for this to be a community sharing space where I can pass along not only my ideas but some of your traditions as well. So dig out those recipe boxes and take pictures of your crafts that you are making and I will share them with the group! Let’s have fun with this.

Let the Countdown Begin…..

Have a magickal day!

Much Love and Many Blessings,

Working With Your Ancestors

**graphic by Lyastri**

As Samhain approaches quickly, and the veil is getting thinner, many of us are curious about working with our ancestors that have crossed before us. I have been receiving a lot of messages from you telling me of visits from your loved ones, and many of you are seeking that connection.

As a medium and intuitive, this is something I've worked with my entire life, unbeknownst to me when I was younger that everyone didn't see them. With the veils thin right now, communication for them is much easier. However, many of you looking for signs, may be surprised to realize that you are just not noticing those messages being sent.

Often times on tv we will see the apparition making an appearance in a bedroom as the person lays in their bed and listens to the message being given. Other times you will see yet again an apparition skirting quickly down a hallway just out of our sight. Now for some of you, you may see apparitions of your ancestors. I have only seen my Grandfather and my Grandmother once, clear as a bell like this. When I did, an amazing calm sensation came over me and I was just mesmerized. It's as if the world stopped in that moment. However, after working with spirits almost my entire life, this is not typical. They tend to put through signs that are more subtle.

As you go through these days leading up to Samhain pay attention to your surroundings and what is happening in your life. Is their a symbol or phrase that keeps coming up over and over? A movie or song that you can't seem to get out of your mind? Do you have an urge to drive somewhere or do something that is out of the norm for you? As I've told some of you before, I often will see a deer crossing my path as a sign that my Grandfather is around.

Almost all of you with me are sensitive, but you will find your strengths lie in different areas. This will dictate how you see/hear spirits the most. For some of you, you have been blessed with the gift of sight. For those of you who are, you may find that you do see apparitions more readily then the rest of us. That is not my main gift so the majority of the time I will see them in my minds eye, either through meditation, or when they have an important message to pass along. Others of you may be blessed with hearing. You may be able to hear the spirits quite clearly. While I have experienced this a couple times too, the majority of the time, I can hear them in my head.

So let's move on to the empaths. You are likely having a lot of emotions that are not yours this time of year. Have you noticed it happening when no one is around? It's quite possible that a spirit is trying to communicate with you. This is what I feel the strongest. I will be doing something and all of a sudden be hit with an emotion that is out of place. Since working with my gift, this emotion is now coupled with sights, sounds and smells for me. However for those of you just starting out and working with your gifts you may only have one sense and need to piece together the rest.

It's an amazing time of the year, and I want to stress to you, that you need not fear when working with your ancestors. They wish the best for you and want to help you on your path. You may wish to say a blessing for them, or leave out offerings. Light a candle and ask them to guide you to the answers you seek on your path. We have an amazing opportunity to work with those who have crossed before us and the lines of communication are easier then ever. Use the oil that I gave you above and anoint a little bit on your wrists and your third eye, then do a brief meditation to ask them to communicate with you.

There are so many different ways to approach working with your ancestors. Use this time to look into your past and learn about them. Ask family members to tell you stories. Leave flowers as offerings on the graves of those who have crossed. I personally love using ancestry.com as it has helped me huge in discovering my roots.

Above all though, take care of you! Make sure you are grounding and centering frequently during the next few weeks. You may want to smudge yourself and your home frequently just to make sure the energy stays clean and for your greater good. Drink lots of water and make sure that you are maintaining your health. Take frequent walks if the weather allows to clear your mind and allow yourself to listen for messages.

Enjoy!

By Working With The Energy Of The Past, You Can Tap Into The Energy Of The Past

Merry Meet. :)) Today I want to introduce a concept to you that I'm not sure if I've worked with you on before. I was taught it a few years ago and I thought it was really amazing.  Everything in the world consists of energy. This we've gone over a lot. That energy is in absolutely everything that surrounds us and everything that we do.

So it would stand to reason then that if you are tapping into an Oak Tree that is well over 100 years old, or even a white one that can get up to be around 300, that Oak Tree will not only have the energy footprint of itself, but it will also contain a bit of energy from you and anyone else who has spent time with that tree. There is an Oak Tree near my house that I visit when I can that I'm quite sure will hold my imprint for some time.

So let's take this one step further. Activities have energy as well. So take something like spinning. When I spin I have the potential to tap into the energy of other people who have done spinning in their lifetime. Neat huh? Ok ready to take it further?

When you use motions in your spells such as a manifestation triangle, you add your energy to that action and if you are working with the energy of it directly you have the potential to pick up and tap into the energy of others who have used this motion as well. That's the simplest explanation.

So during this month a huge focus is on our ancestors and honoring them. Find things that you can do that are similar to what your ancestors would have done. Things like spinning, making home made bread, any activity that you can think of that they use to love tap into that by investing some time in it yourself.  It will help you to mingle your energy with theirs even if they are on the other side.

Samhain Spiced Cider

 

For your celebrations this year I have found a special yummy spiced cider recipe for you that can be prepared in your crockpot so it's going to make your house smell amazing! You want to hug me now right?  Huge Hugs I am sooo excited about this. Ok ready? Super easy peasy.  Wicked quick prep time and you will get a large crock pot full of cider

Ingredients:
1 gallon Musselman's Apple Cider
4 cups orange juice
4 hibiscus tea bags
10 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. whole cloves
1 Tb. juniper berries
1 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, cut into slices
1 apple, sliced into rounds
1 orange, sliced into roundsDirections:

Toss everything into the slow cooker.  Heat it on high for about 3 - 4 hours until it looks darker and all the fruit is soft. When ready take out the tea bags and serve hot. Allow it to cool and store it cold if you have leftovers.

Please watch your crockpots. They are all at different temps and the new ones are absolutely psycho hot. In fact I haven't been able to purchase a new one that doesn't burn the smithereens out of everything so if you know of one, I'm looking! So keep an eye on it. You may want to have it on warm or low depending on your particular crockpot. Don't have a crock pot? You can simmer it low on your stove.  Even better, drag it outside on a nice cauldron on an open fire.

Enjoy!

Your house is going to smell amazinggggg :)))

Create Your Own Pumpkin Spice

In October as we head for Samhain there are some very distinct scents and flavors that come up. One of my absolute favorites is Pumpkin Pie Spice. I first discovered my love for it many years ago when I use to drink coffee and Dunkin Donuts had their Pumpkin Spice coffee. I absolutely adored the smell and the flavor. Many of you know that I quit drinking coffee a few years ago now and I switched to herbal teas. I was missing the pumpkin spice still though, so I decided to start experimenting with it.

Did you know that most pumpkin pie spice mixes are just Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger and Allspice? Super easy to make.  I discovered that I love the taste of it in both my teas and my hot coco. It's amazing how versatile this blend of herbs is. I even have been using it to flavor my seltzers. I am currently using the pumpkin pie spice extract from McCormick as it blends easier into liquids. If you wish to try your hand at making your own spice mix you will want to combine Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg and Allspice. Try it out in different things like cookies and muffins. You can even use the combination in a pot of water on your stove or in a baby crockpot to make your home smell like fall.

Enjoy!

How to Make Your Own Samhain Oil

Today I wanted to give you a recipe for Samhain oil. It's amazing to use for anointing objects you will use in your rituals, you can also use small amounts of it to help you with your psychic connections this month. It smells amazing! You may want to add a few drops to some water in a burner and use it as aromatherapy as well.

Choose a carrier oil of your choice, olive oil works well, or pecan oil will contribute to the scent a bit. You want to put the essential oils in a carrier oil to help dilute them down and make them so they are safe to use on yourself. Concentrated essential oils can often cause irritation.

If you are planning on using this on yourself it's helpful to use medicinal grades of essential oils whenever possible.

- 4 ounces carrier oil
- 16 drops patchouli essential oil.
- 8 drops lavender
- 4 drops musk
- you may add sandalwood or jasmeine if you wish.

This is a general guideline, you may mix the essential oils how you wish until you get the aroma that you enjoy.

Leave the mix out on the Samhain Full Moon to charge overnight in a clear container that has been cleansed.

The next day put it in a tinted bottle to preserve the energy.

I wanted to get this to you a few days early so you can get all the ingredients that you need. Enjoy!

Tissue Paper Ghosts

Merry Meet.  Today I have another super easy craft for you to make. It's great fun for the little witchlets as well. For as long as I can remember every Halloween I would make these with my Gram. We would put them everywhere!!  We would also make them with old rags and hang them out on the trees.

Grab a couple boxes of tissues from the store. You will also need some felt tip markers, ribbons, and anything else you wish to add to your ghosts.

Take a tissue and put it flat on the table. Ball up other tissues and place it in the center of the tissue to form the head of your ghost. Pick it up in your hand and tie a ribbon just under the head to hold the tissue in place. You can then use felt tip markers to draw on eyes. Go gentle though as the tissue will go through pretty quickly.

Some years we made a variation of this using old sheets. If we had an old white sheet, we would cut that into squares and then stuff the center with tissue. Those you can keep for several years. Want to get extra crafty? Stuff some fresh herbs in with the tissues.  My daughter likes having glitter ghosts when we use sheets. Have fun!

Apple Bobbing Traditions

How many of you have gone bobbing for apples? I can remember my face paint getting all wet and runny as I tried this traditional game when I was younger. Just in case you haven't tried it, you put a bunch of apples in a bucked of water and using only your mouth you need to get an apple out of the bucket. It can be great fun. It can also be difficult!

In ancient time the Celts believed that the person who first received the apple when bobbing for apples would be next to be married. So it was a bit of a courtship game as anyone who was unwed was allowed to bob for the apples. It is also said that if she put the apple under her pillow she would dream of her soul mate that night. A little different than today right?

Bobbing for apples has a very long history and it you look you can find several more traditions on the game. Another variation assigned each apple to a possible mate. So a girl would choose which mate she wanted by looking for his name on the apple. If she got the apple on her first try it meant that they were meant to be. Second try, they would date but their love would fail. Three tries...well three strikes you're out!

How about you? Going to give it a try?

Have fun!

Samhain Leaf Mason Jars

Samhain Leaf Mason Jars


Merry Meet. :)) How about some pretty Samhain Jars to decorate your altar?

What You Need
- fall leaves (honestly fabric works best!)
- white glue
- Mason Jars
- LED Tealight

This is pretty easy to make and looks so pretty. Of course I always recommend using a mason jar as the base. If you have another jar that you want to use, you can. :)))

Use Standard White Glue equal parts water to glue to make your glue.

Choose fabric leaves from somewhere as you will find they are much easier to use. You can find them at a craft store or your local Dollar Tree. :))

When you are done adding your leaves to your jar I recommend using an LED tea light or LED candle that will fit in the jar as it won't heat the jar up. :)))

Full Moon Blessings!

Full Moon Blessings! :)))

Tonight is the night of the Full Samhain Moon. It will be a very energetically charged night for sure as we await Samhain while dancing with the energy of the thinning veils.

Many of you have probably felt the effects of the thinning veils as Samhain approaches and tonights full Moon will be charged with the energy of our ancestors and the spirits connecting with us and helping to guide us in our lives. It's an amazing night to work with your ancestors and on your psychic gifts. If you have any divination you need to do tonight is definitely the night to look for your answers.

Tonight is also a powerful night of release. It's time for you to end the things in your life that are restricting you from being who you are and truly happy. The powerful Aries energy is going to help you this evening. Work with the Ram and allow the energy to help you to work your way through any fears or worries that you may have and let it go. ;)

For more information and a powerful spell to help you release what you wish, join us on Moonsong Daily Magick! :)))

Have a magickal day!

Much Love and Many Blessings,

What's Happening In October?

Merry Meet. :))) Each month around the first of the month I've been trying to give you a bit of a snapshot on what to look for coming up in the month. 

On October 5th we will have our Full Moon for this month, the Full Blood Moon. The veil is going to be this during this time and this is the Moon that is in the same month as Samhain so our focus will be on our intuitive gifts, receiving messages from loved ones on the other side, and receiving other intuitive messages. This entire month you will find the veil to be thin and your gifts to be heightened so make sure you pay attention to how you are doing as you progress through the month. For those of you who are empaths and sensitives you definitely want to be working with your psychic protection. It's also an amazing time to work with your gifts as long as you take the proper precautions when doing so.

We move into our New Moon on the 19th of October. You are going to find that most of this month you are going to be doing some challenging energy work. It's a time of releasing, you will be releasing what no longer serves you, releasing things from the past that have no place in your life and really shedding those energetic skins that are potentially holding you back as you get ready to move past Samhain. This is also a time of preparing to let go of loved ones on the other side. We have time to celebrate and honor them and then we must let them go again as we move past Samhain. Be gentle with yourselves during this month. Realize that there is a lot going on energetically and be patient as you move through each day.

On October 31st we have Samhain. Samhain is the festival of the dead. We honor our loved ones who have crossed during this time. It's also the final harvest. This is the time of the year that we till our gardens completely as our plants have all finished producing a harvest and get them ready to begin anew in the Spring. This is also the time that we prepare to move into the dark part of the year. Most Wiccans celebrate Samhain through November 1st. On the 31st we say goodbye and finish releasing anything that we need to and on November 1st we begin anew with our Witch's new year. It's really a wonderful time of the year and very very powerful energy wise.

October Calendar

October 5 - Full Blood Moon

The Thinning Veil - 10 Tips To Navigate It Successfully

The Thinning Veil - 10 Tips To Navigate It Successfully

Merry Meet As you know the veil is currently thinning and you will find that many of you are definitely more sensitive during this time. While it can make my job a bit easier this time of year because it's easier for me to do readings and get the information that I want, for those of you who may not be doing this full time this time can be quite overwhelming honestly.

The first year that I really opened my gifts and hit this time of year it was incredibly draining, confusing and a bit disorienting honestly. It definitely gave me an opportunity to work on those grounding and shielding skills!

So what do you need to know during this time.

Specific Times - The energy is easier to read as the veil is thinner. Is this the perfect time to practice your skills? Well, if you do it properly it can be. If you are new to using your gifts or aren't really seasoned you want to set specific times to work with them. Ground and shield before working with your gifts and after. It will help provide an open and closed door for your intuition. It helps so that you aren't receiving them constantly. It also helps to control the energy that is around you and that you are inadvertently taking in.

Set Some Boundaries - Depending on your sensitivities you may find yourself getting messages at strange times. I know one very popular time that I get them is when I'm trying to fall asleep? Why? That is the time when you are completely relaxed and it's a very easy time for messages to be passed. Don't be afraid to say no. I know that sounds crazy but I can't tell you how many nights I've had to set boundaries for myself because if I don't I'm like a radio that never turns off. You can say no, give them a time or say tomorrow I will be open at a certain time for you, and then shield. You'd be amazed how effective this is.

Psychic Cleansing - I hear so many people talk about cleansing their house, room, area they are working in etc. These are all excellent practices to get into and you definitely want to up the frequency this time of year. Did you know that you can cleanse yourself as well? Start at the top with your choice of white sage, dragon's blood or whatever your preference is. Order all energy that is not for your greater good to leave and only allow energy that is in your best interest to remain, this will help huge.

Ground and Center - I can't recommend this enough. You always should do it at least daily, during this time of year go to an as needed basis. It doesn't have to be a long process! Something as simple as taking a shower or washing your hands can become a grounding exercise if you set your intention for it to be so. Keep it simple and you're more likely to do it.

Shielding - If you have intuitive gifts and you don't know how to shield, stop everything and learn. I cannot stress the importance of this one enough if you are an intuitive. You absolutely must protect yourself. I hear so many people complaining that their gifts are unmanageable and this is an absolutely huge one. With all of the training I did to help me with my gifts I found this the most frustrating. However I have to tell you that it was worth every single minute I put into it. I have tons of articles on my site to help you, I'll include the link at the end of this article. The one method that worked the best for me was to envision an invisible cloak. It was such a huge help! That may be something that you want to try.

Sleep - You have to make sure you get enough sleep. There's just no way around it. If you want to really control your gifts and your personal energy this is incredibly important. Love lavender? Consider getting a little oil diffuser that you can have in your room to help relax your mind and keep you in dreamland to let you get that deeper sleep. I am a huge fan of Lavender paired with Vanilla. Give it a shot! It got this amazing diffuser for only $15.00 it's just amazing. It allows it to be on intermittently which makes the scent last most of the night. It's worth every penny I spent on it.

Down Time - If you're stressed you aren't going to be able to do what you want to. Some of you are real go-getters and don't take any down time. You need to. Especially over the next few weeks. Make your health and your psychic protection a priority.

Hydrate - We need to drink a ton of water for health reasons. Did you know that water is also naturally grounding? It's not just sitting next to beautiful lakes or taking a walk along the ocean. Drinking water can be an amazing grounding tool. I am not without my water bottle during this season. Get yourself a special water bottle and take it with you absolutely everywhere. Want to give it an extra protective kick? Keep reading....

Basil - Toss in some sweet basil or any type of basil that is to your taste. You can find so many different kinds, cinnamon is another one that you may like. About two years ago I developed this addiction to basil! When I went and looked at the metaphysical properties I just laughed. Not only is it amazing for attracting prosperity but it is also awesome for protection. This year I have about 40 basil plants in my herb garden and I use it absolutely everywhere I can. It's in my water all day long. I have several cups of basil tea a day. You can pair it with tomatoes and cheese and make the most amazing sandwiches. Any way you can incorporate it, use it.

Rose Quartz and Smoky Quartz - Both of these are amazing to use during this time of year. The Rose Quartz keeps bringing you loving energy to make you more comfortable and the smoky quartz will help protect you and remove any energy that isn't in your best interest. Both are easy to find, they work well together so they are a definite must on my list.

If you follow all the tips on this list you will find it will help you huge through this time of year.

I have designed a special reading called Across the Veil - Your Intuitive Gifts. This reading is designed specifically to help you on your journey. It just hit the shop last night, you are the first to know about it. I am booked through this week into next week with Mabon readings, but if you book this reading now it will start delivering early next week. You are finding out about it before it's official launch

Here's the link: Across the Veil Your Intuitive Gifts


Oh! The link to the empath articles. There is so much information for you on this page from grounding and shielding to cutting cords you will find a lot of what you are looking for here:

Childhood Samhain Memories

Childhood Samhain Memories

Merry Meet :))))) Tonight is Samhain and I am sooooooo excited! :)))))) I was looking for a picture to go with a quote and I came across the picture above and it took me back to Halloween as a child in a rush. :)))))))

When I was little Halloween was always my favorite holiday. I loved Christmas as well, but Halloween definitely got me the most excited. I use to write a lot as a child too and can remember writing stories about haunted houses and ghost for hours. :))) Not wicked scary ones, but the type that would be mysterious, adventurous and a wee bit spooky. :)))

When I was in first grade, my school use to have a haunted house in the basement of the school. They had two versions of it, scary and not scary. The person at the front of the line got to pick which haunted house we went through. That year I was picked to be at the front of the line. I don't remember much just being absolutely terrified of the basement in the school (my school was super old) and honestly I think I was frightened before I even got to the haunted house part. Of course I said not scary :))) I remember getting made fun of from my classmates. For as much as I loved Halloween, I didn't love being scared. :)))

Ghost stories always fascinated me. Partially because I was seeing spirits so young and while the stories weren't what I was seeing, they were closer than anything else I had seen so I quickly became interested in them. I remember reading every Halloween book I could get my hands on.

I also loved dressing up on Halloween. I can remember waiting for what felt like ages for the sun to set so that I could go out Trick R Treating. :))))) Then I remember walking all night on the crunchy leaves knocking on doors and watching all the other kids in costumes. For me it was the most magickal night of the year. :)))))

To this day it's still my favorite holiday. :))) It goes on for weeks at my house with special dishes and costume making, pumpkins and anything else I can think of to go with Samhain. :)))) We set up our decorations before October even started lol :)))))

So how are you celebrating this year? Are you going out? I will be taking my little ones out Trick or Treating. I can't wait :))))) After that I will do a quiet celebration that night to honor my ancestors after they are tucked in bed. :))))))

Have a magickal day!

Much Love and Many Blessings,

Contacting Those Who Have Crossed

Contacting Those That Have Crossed


Merry Meet,

As we approach Samhain the veils are noticeably thinning, and it is becoming easier to reach those who are on the other side. It is also the time of year when we honor those ancestors that have gone before us. For many of us, those who have crossed before us have left us with scars. These scars can be just from the loss of our loved ones, or they can be from things that happened before they crossed. A huge step to healing these wounds is talking to them and realizing that they are still around. No this isn't just for those who are more sensitive to spirits. Anyone can communicate with those who have crossed. It may be easier for some to get messages back and forth, but if you talk, I promise you they will listen.

Sometimes just knowing that you have that option to communicate that is enough to help heal. When you talk to them you can make it as simple or ritual like as you wish. If you are comfortable just sitting down in a chair one evening and talking to them, then do so. I will think about the person, and try to sense them. Focus my energy on them for awhile until I feel a tingling sensation then I will talk. I don't talk out loud. I direct my thoughts to them. Hopefully this will make sense. You can also light a white candle to help facilitate communication. If you wish to cast a circle as you feel more protected, by all means do so. Bottom line is you have the option to talk to them.

Will you hear them answer you? You may not hear anything. You may not feel anything. However, know that they have heard you. Be very aware of your surroundings over the next couple of days as it is quite likely you will receive a sign from them in acknowledgement. It can be an animal that crosses your path, a dream, an article, something will likely jump at you and make you go hmmmm. :)))) I do hope this helps.

The Grounding Tree

The Grounding Tree

This is the time of year where the veil is the thinnest and many of you are gifted intuitives likely noticing changes in the energy around you.

Did you know that trees are naturally grounding? One of my favorite activities use to be to spend time with the trees. You can sit with your back up against the tree and you will naturally be grounded. :))) Just sit there and absorb the gift of the tree's energy. When you are done leave the tree a gift like some fresh water or a tiny stone to show her your gratification. :)))

For those of you who wish to work on your gifts during this time a tree will give you a bit of an advantage. You can choose a spot that you feel safe in. Sit with your back against the tree and then work on sensing the energy around you. :)) See what you notice. When you are done let the tree ground you. :)))

Much Love and Many Blessings,

Working With Your Ancestors

**graphic by Lyastri**

Merry Meet :))))

As Samhain approaches quickly, and the veil is getting thinner, many of us are curious about working with our ancestors that have crossed before us.  I have been receiving a lot of messages from you telling me of visits from your loved ones, and many of you are seeking that connection.

As a medium and intuitive, this is something I've worked with my entire life, unbeknownst to me when I was younger that everyone didn't see them. :))) With the veils thin right now, communication for them is much easier.  However, many of you looking for signs, may be surprised to realize that you are just not noticing those messages being sent.

Often times on tv we will see the apparition making an appearance in a bedroom as the person lays in their bed and listens to the message being given. Other times you will see yet again an apparition skirting quickly down a hallway just out of our sight.  Now for some of you, you may see apparitions of your ancestors.  I have only seen my Grandfather and my Grandmother once, clear as a bell like this.  When I did, an amazing calm sensation came over me and I was just mesmerized.  It's as if the world stopped in that moment.  However, after working with spirits almost my entire life, this is not typical.  They tend to put through signs that are more subtle.

As you go through these days leading up to Samhain pay attention to your surroundings and what is happening in your life.  Is their a symbol or phrase that keeps coming up over and over? A movie or song that you can't seem to get out of your mind? Do you have an urge to drive somewhere or do something that is out of the norm for you?  As I've told some of you before, I often will see a deer crossing my path as a sign that my Grandfather is around.

Almost all of you with me are sensitive, but you will find  your strengths lie in different areas.  This will dictate how you see/hear spirits the most.  For some of you, you have been blessed with the gift of sight.  For those of you who are, you may find that you do see apparitions more readily then the rest of us.  That is not my main gift so the majority of the time I will see them in my minds eye, either through meditation, or when they have an important message to pass along.  Others of you may be blessed with hearing.  You may be able to hear the spirits quite clearly.  While I have experienced this a couple times too, the majority of the time, I can hear them in my head.  

So let's move on to the empaths :)))) You are likely having a lot of emotions that are not yours this time of year.  Have you noticed it happening when no one is around? It's quite possible that a spirit is trying to communicate with you.  This is what I feel the strongest.  I will be doing something and all of a sudden be hit with an emotion that is out of place.  Since working with my gift, this emotion is now coupled with sights, sounds and smells for me.  However for those of you just starting out and working with your gifts you may only have one sense and need to piece together the rest.

It's an amazing time of the year, and I want to stress to you, that you need not fear when working with your ancestors.  They wish the best for you and want to help you on your path.  You may wish to say a blessing for them, or leave out offerings.  Light a candle and ask them to guide you to the answers you seek on  your path.  We have an amazing opportunity to work with those who have crossed before us and the lines of communication are easier then ever.  Use the oil that I gave you above and anoint a little bit on your wrists and your third eye, then do a brief meditation to ask them to communicate with you.

There are so many different ways to approach working with your ancestors. :)))))) Use this time to look into your past and learn about them.  Ask family members to tell you stories.  Leave flowers as offerings on the graves of those who have crossed.  I personally love using ancestry.com as it has helped me huge in discovering my roots. :)))))

Above all though, take care of you!  Make sure you are grounding and centering frequently during the next few weeks.  You may want to smudge yourself and your home frequently just to make sure the energy stays clean and for your greater good.  Drink lots of water and make sure that you are maintaining your health.  Take frequent walks if the weather allows to clear your mind and allow yourself to listen for messages. :)))))

Enjoy!

Much Love and Many Blessings,
