To my ancestors who fought and died for me to live this life, may I make you proud, and be a beacon of light.

Halloween, also referred to as All Hallows Eve, is upon us. It is when the veil between the living and the dead is most thin, leading up to the celebration of All Soul’s Day at the start of November. This time of year is meant for the commemoration of our dearly departed. The Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos in Mexican culture) is when we commune with spirits that wander the Earth to conjure great power from our deceased, and prepare for the long dark night. It is a time for reckoning – we come face to face with what lurks in the shadows for redemption. Whether that be a hidden fear, a painful history, or a country's shameful past, our guardians can be invoked for absolution.  
In ancient Celtic and Christian traditions, this time of year marked the end of the harvest season. Different civilizations would sacrifice cattle and livestock in preparation for when the earth became frozen, no longer fertile with vegetation. Native Algonquin tribes called the Full Moon of November the Beaver Moon; beaver traps were set as winter approached to ensure that there was enough fur and meat for the length of the season. This Full Moon is also referred to in some Farmer’s Almanacs as the Frost Moon, and it is befitting that the Full Moon on Friday (PST)/Saturday (EST) falls in the sign of Taurus the Bull.
​
Taurus is earth. Taurus is foundation. Taurus is conservation. Taurus steadily builds to preserve our natural resources. This sign represents abundance and earthly pleasures. But when the earth becomes barren, we become starved of nourishment. That is why we call on our ancestors for protection during this time of year. Their cultures, traditions, and resilience have kept us alive for millennia. The Life/Death/Life cycle of Scorpio enhances our ability to connect with what has long been buried, including the dead. And so, as the Moon grows full, may our heritage continue to keep us grounded and thriving. As we cultivate some of our most dark and barren soil, may we spring forth in the light of dawn, abundance and peace restored.

Rosalee, Ruth, Monroe and William were my grandparents. I celebrate them on All Hallows Eve, and beseech their blessings, strength, and divine gifts.
