Things That Go Bump In The Night

Friday October 12, 2007
Some of the images that we associate with Halloween are bats and vampires, black cats, witches, ghosts, haunted houses, witches, cemeteries, tombstones, spider webs, jack-o-lanterns, and the grim reaper.

Hallows' Eve, Halloween, has become an evening of celebration that is filled with treats and pranks. Young children dress up in costumes and beg for candy on our doorsteps. Older youth enjoy playing tricks on friends and neighbors. Scary stories about ghosts and goblins are told late into the night.

In history, Halloween was a time when we were meant to honor the dead. The veil between the two worlds of the "earth incarnates" and the "unearthly spirit realm" is said to be at its thinnest on Halloween, making communicating with the dead and visitations from the afterlife more easily accomplished.

So, if you are wanting to experiment talking to the dead Halloween is a prime time to give it a try. Dust off your Ouija Board and attempt a seance. Maybe grandma will finally give you the secret recipe for her famous walnut icebox cookies. At bedtime focus your communication intention before you close your eyes by asking a spirit to visit you in your dreams. Spirit communications often occur when we are sleeping.
