Samhain, Halloween and Scorpio Season: When the Veil Thins - Episode 136

Seeking Center: The Podcast

Halloween is way more than just costumes and candy; this ancient holiday is steeped in mystical tradition that dates back over 2,000 years to the Celtic festival of Samhain.
We have our go-to astrologer Stevie Calista here to discuss the deeper meaning and how it has morphed into modern day traditions.
We're diving deep into what it means when the "veil thins" and how this mystical time invites us to honor our ancestors, reflect on life cycles, and embrace personal transformation. Stevie also offers astrological insights for Scorpio season and what to expect as we move into November, including key cosmic shifts, like Pluto’s transition from Capricorn to Aquarius, that can influence your life.
If you've ever been curious about the origins of Halloween or how to align yourself with the season's spiritual energy, this episode is for you!
