Through the Veils

Honouring Our Ancestors

Welcome to the fortnight for the ancestors.

This two-week period between the full and new moon is dedicated to honouring our ancestors in the Vedic calendar.

Many cultures recognize this time as being a time when the veils between us and the ancestral planes are thinner.

This is a time when you may dream your ancestors, receive signs from them, or even feel yourself moving through epiphanies as they learn and grow!

There are so many beautiful ways to honour and connect with our ancestors. Some of these include lighting candles every evening for these two weeks. On every plane, light is a fuel

that provides joy, warmth, and represents epiphany.

I once did a reading for a woman who walked in surrounded by many souls. I was uncertain why there were so many. Typically, people show up with maybe a maximum of five people around them. I completed her reading and at the end, gave the opportunity for these souls to speak. All of them had the same message. They wanted to thank her for the candles that she offered them every week. She told me that she and her friend had stopped going to church and instead had begun lighting candles every Sunday for lost souls. She was so touched to hear that the light of those candles had been a source of peace and guidance in other realms.

The other simple offer you can make is food. Feed animals outside. Put food in the food bank box at your grocery sstore,or share food with others. Intend that this food becomes whatever sustenance your ancestors require.

Your ancestors live through yyou,and you through them. We are always growing and evolving together. We are connected beyond linear space and time. May we continue to evolve toward deeper peace and freedom!
