Samhain 2009

Here it is again – October in Florida. Although it is still in the 80s here I can feel the change in the season. It is difficult to explain when the leaves are still on the trees but I can feel it. I feel myself needing to turn inward. I am finally able to feel the changing of the seasons and see the wheel of the year turning. I am getting more in tune with life and feel more at home in my body. Samhain is a time of introspection and going deeper into yourself. I believe this is the time of year to begin the journey into the deep.

Divination has always been something I would only do occasionally. Mostly it was because I didn’t want to know what would happen. I now know that it is more important than an occasional activity. I found that it is good for guidance with ordinary questions. I recently learned how to do “throws” with ogham twigs. One of my “throws” showed me that I was going to work in the dark. When I first started working with tarot cards I would pull a card for the outlook of the day. I have gotten away from that and have to ask myself “why?” So in honor of Samhain I have taken a renewed interested in divination on a daily basis. The tarot deck that I use is The Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr. Kris has now created an “App” for the iPhone. This makes it even easier for people to stay in touch with divination. It is amazing how technology can change our lives. I hope that all of you will also take a closer look at divination and make it more a part of your daily life.

Blessings of the Season,

Dawn
