Coming into November I had a dream.This dream really stood out for me.I am a dreamer and at times I get Spiritual guidance through my dreams as well as other sources.This was a "Big" dream as they have been called.Not the regular kind that may or may not make sense or the kind we barely recall.This was a very in your face vivid dream and it stayed with me long after I was awake spilling out into the physical world around me as images and themes around it had suddenly and consistently appeared. In this dream a friends white Stallion appeared.I saw his face looking out ahead of him then he turned to me and when I saw his eyes meet mine.I heard first his name then he spoke to me saying "Follow me".So I did .. We were suddenly in the streets of Mexico during Dia de los Muertos.Now I have never really paid much mind to that festival although aware of it.I had never before been drawn to it at all and am not Mexican though my brother in law is.. had no ties to it and yet here in this dream we walked among the people.Millions of them celebrating and honoring their beloved ancestors.As we walked despite the crowded streets people seemed to part the way as though we had a sort of bubble around us.I was also dressed as they were in the dream,dressed for the day of the dead.Coast the horse in question impressed upon me the importance of connecting to ancestors now. As I awoke it was heavily on my mind and I had even had some discussion on it with my friend whos horse delivered this message. I felt strongly I needed to participate in this and at times during inspiration I am inspired to create around what I am inspired on or what the current energy is.Being and Artist,Costume designer,Photographer,writer ect I feel it helps to anchor that energy and integrate it when I take action to create around whatever is coming in.Sometimes I share and sometimes it is just for me.I decided to share around this because we are Moving into November..Month of Scorpio and representing cycles of Life,Death and Rebirth.It is also my birth month and I have a very strong connection to these cycles and a very deep understanding of the processes and how to move through them.I am a water sign and we tend to be ruled by emotion and are greatly affected by phases of the moon,and planetary shifts.This month we have Venus and Scorpio at the forefront of the planetary shifts,We are in an 11 mastery year according to numerology as well as this being a month of many powerful energy portals and is an 11 month with an 11/11 portal in an 11 master year.I am a master number life path as well..33/6 Life path of self Mastery.This Month like the rest of this year likely to shake things up and rock your personal world and the greater collective as we are peaking in all that is happening globally. We have been letting parts of ourselves die all year that do not serve us and though this is on going it seems that this year..Part of this mastery is that the universe is sort of putting much more pressure on us around it allowing us opportunity to recognize and release ..to die and then be reborn into a better and more aligned and more masterful version of ourselves. Connection to ancestors is part of an ancient path that in the modern world we rarely honor or practice if at all,(although there are exceptions )I think particularly those of us who feel less connection to their biological families as many of us are here to break old ancestral patterns that are extremely distorted..patterns around abuse,loss of power,addictions and more.This can make us feel so very alone because we are often the black sheep.Don't fit in to the collective and have to find first who we are often through many painful emotional transformations then step into ourselves and eventually find our place and our soul tribe of more like minded souls.At least this is how it has been for me in my own experiences.There has been many deaths and rebirths along the way..in my own personal readings I am currently getting a lot around rising from the dead..invoking the phoenix medicine all of us experience and that Scorpios seem to embody.Connection to ancestors is new for me and I created a small ceremony of my own design based on what I felt to honor mine.I had to trust that even if I do not feel much around it it is doing something and that it should be a part of this rebirth as it is of the old ways,old paths of honoring all of creation and connecting to that.To do so with trust and the understanding of why it is important and that even if I do not know why it is coming in for me on a deeper level just yet.I researched Dia de los Muertos the day of the dead and found I really liked what it represents and they why..It also reminded me of my experiences in buddhist traditions around honoring the dead and made sense I should integrate this for my own path.I am trusting that though I feel no close ties from this life that there is something greater at work and as I ride out this powerful month with the rest of the world I will trust they are behind me as my horses are and my guides.Trusting the path before me even though we are all in the heart of the great mystery now.Trusting that it will come out better than any of us can imagine and following the guidance we receive along the way may be of even greater importance than ever before.The outside world seems so volatile and hopeless but with my inner centered and heart led way of being,my willingness to follow flow and trust and integrate the wisdom I am receiving and growing into my own mastery and self awareness I can navigate the darkness of the void and be reborn again into the light.I have learned a lot about jumping into the darkness of the unknown and trusting it over the years.It is never easy but Love shines brightest in the dark and so by living always from our hearts with great compassion and connection to all life including our Earth and of course remembering to extend that to ourselves we can transmute all darkness into light as it is through transitions that we find true mastery and growth. I also integrated connection to animals as part of my own personal path as they play such a massive role in my own path as gides and since I have lost so many over the years and have been transformed through both their lives with me and their deaths.During my oct 31-nov3 remembering though we also have Remembrance day coming so this honoring of the dead could really extend to all of November But beginning on Oct 31 as the old Samhien (Sa-ween ) celtic traditions celebrated before being lost to current halloween celebrations.By doing some kind of connecting ,no matter how small we add another level to our personal Mastery and connections to all things.Start small,Plant a seed ,let it grow through guided heart led living.
