Faith, in its broadest sense, is the strong belief or trust in something, often without proof or evidence. It can refer to a specific religious belief system, trust in a person or thing, or even a general principle. In religious contexts, faith often involves belief in God or some other divine being.
For example, I have faith that life is always working in my favor. I have faith that what’s meant for me will not pass me by. I have faith that everything works according to a divine plan.
This week is Halloween or All Hallows Eve or Samhain.
Samhain was an ancient Celtic festival celebrated on Halloween night. It marked the end of the havest and the beginning of winter. It was considered the Celtic New Year and an imporant time when the boundary or the veil between the living and the dead or spirit worlds was believed to thin, allowing for interaction with ancestors and spirits.
The festival involved bonfires, feasts, divination, and costumes to ward off spirits, and is considered the origin of modern Halloween with traditions, like trick-or-treating and Jack-o’-lanterns.
I believe this is the time when you hear from those who have gone before you. It’s when you can connect to faith and those on the other side. It’s not about watching horror flicks (I won’t judge, I just hate them and do not watch) but about the spirit world.
In this moment, at the end of October, you just need to take care of you, and have faith that life is unfolding in your favor.
