Hello there! I hope everyone is having a wonderful October!!
The days are getting cooler and the nights are getting longer as we approach Samhain, Halloween and Fet Ghede.
When the dark half if the year arrives, it truly does give me an appreciation for the ancient pagan practices of honoring the forces of nature that allowed humans to survive and thrive.
The sunshine, the rainfall, the growth of crops and the lives of livestock were important because human life literally depended upon having those things!
In the colder months, we nurture plans for the future and hope that growth will return, all will be renewed and that endings make way for rebirths.
In any and every pantheon, from the loa in Haiti, to the Gods and Goddesses in ancient Britain, Egypt, Rome and Scandinavia, natural forces played a huge part in daily living.
In our first world environment we can get so removed from realizing how important the health of the planet truly is. I feel like the preservation of that earth to human connection is a part of why we “witchy” people experience the calling to pursue these old paths to spirit!
We are, all of us, healers in some capacity, striving to do our part to keep the bonds of nature and mankind strong and beautiful.
