Find a quiet,
Sacred space.
Light a candle if you can,
A flame to symbolise your soul's eternal light amidst the turning of the year.
Gently close your eyes.
Allow your breath to deepen,
Soften and slow.
Breathe in the stillness of the night.
Breathe out everything that has come before.
With each inhale,
Feel yourself sink deeper into this sacred season.
This space between worlds,
Where endings and beginnings dance together in the dark.
Samhain is the twilight of the year.
A time when the veil grows thin and the whispers of your ancestors rise like mist from the earth.
Can you feel them?
Gentle presences surrounding you.
Their love,
Their lessons,
Their strength flowing through your blood,
Woven into your very being.
You are not separate from them.
You are the continuation of their story.
The living flame of their unbroken lineage.
Now,
Imagine yourself walking through an ancient forest.
The air is cool and fragrant with earth and smoke.
Leaves crunch softly beneath your feet.
Ahead,
A fire burns in a circle of stones.
Golden light flickering against the dark.
Step closer.
This is the sacred fire of Samhain.
The flame that burns away the old and illuminates what must now be born.
Gaze into the fire.
See the faces of all that you have been this year.
The hopes.
The heartbreaks.
The lessons.
The love.
Offer gratitude for all of them.
For they have shaped you.
They have taught you.
They have prepared you for what comes next.
Now,
Gently release what no longer serves you.
Speak it softly to the flames.
A name.
A feeling.
A memory.
A version of yourself.
Watch it rise,
Curl and dissolve into the smoke.
You are free.
In the stillness that follows,
A deeper light awakens within you.
Your soul fire.
Quiet,
Ancient and eternal.
It is the spark of your divine essence.
The truth that never dies.
The part of you that has lived a thousand lives and will live a thousand more.
Let it fill your chest with warmth.
Your mind with peace.
Your spirit with knowing.
From this inner flame you are reborn.
Renewed.
Guided.
And held by the unseen.
You walk forward into the dark,
Not with fear,
But in faith.
For you are light in motion.
Carrying the wisdom of all who came before and the hope of all who will come after.
Breathe in the mystery.
Breathe out the gratitude.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying the magic of Samhain within you.
