| Samhain Meditation Author Unknown Samhain is the time of year when we honor the Ancestors. It is believed that at Samhain the veil between the apparent world and the otherworlds is thin, and that we can reach through the veils to contact those who have gone before us. We honor the distant ancestors of our family, our immediate relatives, and our friends who are deceased. To prepare for this meditation, have your cauldron or bowl ready. If you will be outdoors have small sticks that you can light for a fire in the cauldron. If indoors, have a short pillar candle or votive, and a fire brick to put under your cauldron. Place paper and pen near the cauldron. Visualize yourself walking in a place of nature. This may be a place you already know, or it may be somewhere you create in your mind. Be aware of the crispness of autumn, the chill in the air, the changing colors of the leaves, the seeds that fall from dying flowers, the pine cones and acorns underfoot. As you walk, you come to a low stone altar with a large cauldron sitting on it. On the altar you see articles that you know belonged to, or are representative of, your deceased ancestors, family members, and friends. Next to the cauldron is a small collection of wood ready to be lit. Light the fire. (Or candle, if indoors). This is your opportunity to contact anyone from your family, or among your friends, that you wish. Think of why you want to contact them. Is there any unfinished business with anyone that you would like to take care of now? Do you wish to ask forgiveness of anyone? Is there someone you need to forgive? Do you want to tell someone how much you love them and miss them? Next to the cauldron you see paper and pen. Sit quietly, take your time, and write your letters. Allow yourself to experience any emotions that arise as you do this. When you have finished your letter or letters, burn them in the cauldron. As the flame turns them into smoke, know that as the smoke rises it carries your message. (If indoors, be careful). Take a few more minutes to sit quietly before the cauldron. The cauldron represents the womb of the earth, from which we come at birth and to which we return in death to await rebirth. Gaze into it. This is a time to receive messages. Take your time. You may have a thought, or image, come into your mind. You may receive the answer to a question, or be given some wise advice. You may simply have a sense of peace. When you are ready to leave, ground yourself by placing your hands on the ground, and crouching down. Allow any excess energy within you to flow into the earth. Leave the circle, returning by the same path you took before. Take the blessings of the cauldron of life and rebirth with you. |
