#19 As above, so below: Samhain and embracing the shadows

Nonsense in the Chaos

Thick fog is creeping through the garden surrounding my little cottage on the tiny island of Sark, in the channel islands, and in the distance I can hear the haunting sound of the foghorn, warning sailors and fishermen, with its desolate song, to avoid the rocks that stick up in shards and crags around this dragon filled, cavernous, rock. The clocks have gone back and the darkness creeps in. The wind howls around the house and the veil… The veil feels so… Flimsy.

In this week’s podcast I’m exploring the Celtic celebration of Samhain, and how this time of year is an opportunity to honour our ancestors, tend to and connect with our grief, and welcome the intimacy this time of year fosters between our everyday outer world and the ‘other’ realms that surround us. Celebrating the potency of working with and deepening our understanding of cycles, so that we might incorporate moments of peace, reflection, and rest, into the otherwise never ending sentence of life.

Join me as I step into the darkness and embrace the shadows. Utilising this opportunity to pause and reflect, at a time of year when we’re invited to mulch, dream, and descend into the underworld, before returning renewed and reborn in the spring.
