INVITE SPIRITS TO VISIT


Remembrance Board

HALLOWEEN: SPIRITS ARE FREE TO VISIT EARTH
NOVEMBER 1ST: THEY VISIT: SAINTS, INNOCENTS & SINNERS
NOVEMBER 2ND: ENJOY THE VISITS; MEMORIES LINGER

WELCOMING SPIRITS OF YOUR LOVED ONES 

IS LIKE INVITING SOMEONE TO VISIT YOU.

Send an invitation to your departed loved one especially at this time of Halloween, originally known as All Hallow's Eve, a Holy Eve before what is All Saints' Day and Day of the Dead: November 1st and November 2nd when the spirit readily come to walk Earth and visit.

Begin with a written invitation: write her or his name; dear...hello...greetings - however you greet a loved one, a friend your pet. It's nice to write a short note, perhaps a favorite memory. This creates a heartfelt connection with the spirit of the departed. You can place it alongside a candle or, like the hot of the Remembrance Board above, on or above your altar.

Along with your note you can add a photo of your loved one to sit in front of you. 

Place a white candle (safely) in a window as a beacon, telling your spirit, here I am, come visit.  

Close your eyes, take a few or more relaxing breathes and softly call the name of your loved one 3x. If you're crying, wait, redo, be calm; sit still and open your mind and heart for a visit from spirit. Enjoy the moment.

You might "feel" an energy change, a presence, or see in your mind's eye your loved one, and then again you could "hear" a message within or smell a particular scent associated with that person.

If you have a question, phrase it simply. If you have a comment, again make it simple without a whole lot of details Spirits do best  with simple messages.

If you have what you think, no connection, perhaps in your dreams, (the easiest way to connect with spirits) you'll connect. 

In the days following stay aware of "coincidences" that remind you of that person or pet. Spirits often communicate through symbols. For instance, a bird perches close to you, a bird your person used to enjoy - or the color of it. 

In my All Hallow's Eve celebration and ritual I create a Remembrance Board as part of my special Gala Ritual Celebration; this time on Zoom. 

In front of it is an altar representing the season's colors and candles. Usually, my Halloween altar is a bit more elaborate but this year for the purpose on Zoom I didn't add as much.

More about creating a Halloween Altar in my book, "How to Talk With Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts" paperback, audio, eBook.

CELEBRATE CHANGING TIMES: MABON; FALL EQUINOX


Soon the days will grow shorter and the nights, longer. 

How will your life activities change?

How will your energy be different?

Your spirit feels it. Do you?

Each season brings change not only weather wise but your body and mind health.

Celebrate today - September 22, 2020 - Fall or Autumn Equinox or to my pagan family - Mabon.

Mabon, a pagan is also known as the Harvest Home, is a reminder to reap what you sow, give thanks to Mother Earth for the bountiful foods she provides. Count your blessings no matter how insignificant they might seem: my eyes still see, my ears hear, my legs continue to carry me and so forth. 

And rest; prepare for the long, dark, cold times to come.

We busy humans rushing here and there. Even if not physically our minds race;  Internet searches are often frantic - something to meet the demand of the brain's numerous pathways going - where? 

If you stop for a moment you'll feel your body and psychological shifts changes and become aware of the overall effects of the season.

Slow down TV binge watching  - well maybe just The Haunted Bay, Amazon Prime with moi investigating ghosts. Instead, read, draw, journal and have STORY TELLING TIMES with friends and family! Maybe include photos with it.  Really, you'll like it. (Caution: make sure the stories don't turn into "roasts" or are demeaning.)

With the changing weather we go through seasonable colds, sniffles, allergies. One might conjure up illnesses during with  "OH NO! Is it Covid? or ask self,  "Why do I feel so tired? Why's my eyes, sinus' throat ache?"

The Fall weather often brings a weakening in the body. Care for it properly. 

Eat local vegetables and fruits in Fall colors for a healthier body. 

Hunker down, nap more and go to bed earlier: Sleep brings more vivid and perhaps meaningful dreams at this time. 

Pay attention, take note. Are they telling of future manifestations? 

Secure a good dream book to help interpret your dreams.

The spirits and ghosts are preparing will arrive in this season.

GHOSTS, SF HAUNTINGS & JAMAICA SCARY ENTITIES


RADIO INTERVIEWS

TALKING SPIRITS, GHOSTS IN SAN FRANCISCO 
AND MY SCARIEST INVESTIGATION IN JAMAICA. 


I can't walk well (double fracture ankle) but I can still talk! 

If you missed my radio interview you can listen to last night's show at Night Dreams Talk Show with host Gary Anderson. Gary was an easy to talk with host and told a couple of his own stories; he worked at a very haunted building confirmed by many other employees and he also told of his most touching, unusual story of his father's passing.

I shared my first paranormal investigation in San Francisco's strip club where a bizarre death took place and the creepy meeting of low grade entities in a SF site where the most deaths from the 1906 earthquake in the city happened. I was asked what was the scariest paranormal experience I had and that was Jamaica when on my first demon possession. Hope you have a chance to listen and please ask questions. All is covered in my book, How to Talk With Spirits.

I have two more shows in October on the below radio programs:

October 24th, 2018 10 a.m. PST, U.S.A.

Dare to Be Authentic Radio Show with Host Mari Mitchell
Interview about moving through difficulties of living authentically and true to my life purpose.

October 30th, 2018 10 a.m. PST, USA

Truthseekah Radio Program -
Interview will include the ritual meditation for All Hallow's Eve (Halloween) to communicate with the departed as read in my book, How To Talk With Spirits: Mediums, Seances, Ghost Hunts, available autographed copy through www.june ahern dot com and also on Amazon.com

PROTECT YOURSELF BEFORE PSYCHIC INTERACTION

You know when you get that “kick in the pants” reminder?


Well, I got mine good and hard when I didn’t take time to protect my mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and psychic energy before embarking on a ghost tour.

Last blog I said I’d share self-protection spell if asked; someone asked.

I had planned to write it while on holiday. Too bad, said the hands of fate, all good plans of mice and men go awry.

My first day at a lovely, quiet place I learned family and friends’ lives and homes were threatened by a raging Northern California fire (worst in the states’ history). In the midst of contacting family an offer to teach a workshop set for early November and I had to send a proposal immediately. Internet connection was down.

Rather than come home refreshed I was mentally and emotionally drained from worry and planning for the workshop.

To top it off I was part of The Haunted Bay’s San Francisco Ghost Tour going back to a place I had previously investigated (see link below). This time I was punched in the head and pushed by an unseen entity. “Oh no! This doesn’t happen to me!”

Then why did it? Worn done mentally and emotionally, I did a brief protection ritual without much focus.

Funny how fate will slap you with one hand while with the other offers redemption.

The next day at my “Wellness” class the teacher went through self-protection techniques, some I’ve forgot and another learned.

I share from the class and from my book, “How to Talk With Spirits: Séances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts” (free on Kindle until 10/28/17 - See link below:)

Before and after interacting with others in spirit, ghostly, and healing way, or at any potentially unpleasant meeting, cleanse your energy. . Mentally clear your space before channeling and receiving psychic information. You can pray, chant and/or sing - all raises positive vibrations in and around you

Imagine sitting in a clear white bubble. It can also be a pastel blue or pink.
Smudge with a smudge stick or encircle yourself with incense if you wish.
Ground yourself by visualizing your feet (or go outside and stand barefoot on the earth) standing firmly connected to the earth. Say, I am safe.
Using water to clean more than the body: Cup the water and let it dribble up your arms as you move to the crown of your head, now wipe down your arms and out through your fingertips, flicking off as though riding yourself of all negative thoughts and feelings.

Protection Spell

Sit in a quiet space with a white candle lit and incense and flowers if you wish. You might add a crystal and/or a serene image.
Enjoy the beauty of that space. Pay attention to your breath, regular breathing, in and out, calming and easy. Do this for about five to ten minutes or longer.
Then visualize a safe space, a circle of light colored energy surrounding you.
Say aloud: Only good can enter herein.
Call in the Divine One whom you connect to: guardian, angel, guide, God, Jesus, Goddess, Buddha, or Allah - you chose:
I call in _______ to be with me. Together we create energy to empower my spirit and protect me from all that can potentially harm me.
I do this with confidence and pureness of intention with harm to none and only for the greater good.
I wear this shield of protection whenever needed.
So Mote it Be. Therefore it is.
Sit for as long as you like enjoying the positive energy around you. Snuff out your candle before leaving.

DAY OF THE DEAD COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS RITUAL


http://www.freeimages.com/photo/day-of-the-dead-1563589

The veil between the living world and the dead (spirit) world continues to stay open in the days following the Holy Eve or All Hallows or Halloween.

On this day, November 1st, Day of the Dead, loved ones and ancestors continue to be remembered in sacred rituals.  Below is a longer version of communicating and honoring your dead loved ones than I posted previously.

Excerpt from Chapter Ten in my ebook, "How to Talk with Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts" available on Amazon, Smashwords,  Barnes and Noble. Links below at end of article.


Hark! Hark to the wind! 'Tis the night, they say,
When all souls come back from the far away

The dead, forgotten this many a day!

– Virna Sheard, Poet –


All Hallows Eve or Halloween and November First, are sacred times for many throughout the world to honor the dead. The indigenous people of Mexico combined their own rituals and celebrations with that of the Catholic church when the Spaniards invaded and conquered their county on November First.

The Mexicans honor their ancestors, and beloved dead with special rituals and celebrations. They have processions through weaved through the streets of their home towns and cities. Many banners and masks portray colorful death masks.

In and around the towns and cities are beautiful altars honoring the dead and include photos and special items of the dead. Some truly create a mini houses or special rooms where their relatives lived.

The Day of the Dead gatherings and celebrations are absolutely magically beautiful as well as eerie and frightening to some with all those skeleton faces. Some people fear death, some welcome it and some just deny it. But one way of another, you'll day to live the physical  body will happen and the Day of the Dead is a reminder of this fact.
Before it is dark on Halloween and/or on the Day of the Dead I encourage you to take time to honor those who have gone on to the "other side" whether you call that Heaven, Nirvana, or Slumberland.

Gather photographs of the deceased  - ones you would like to visit and light a candle. Reflect on them and think or even talk aloud anything you'd like to say. Be quiet, perhaps you'll mentally hear a message. If not then, often times in your dreams.

For a more elaborate ritual and how to communicate successfully read Chapter Ten in my book, How To Talk With Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts.

HALLOWEEN RITUAL TO INVITE THE SPIRITS IN





THE VEIL DROPS

Hark! Hark to the wind! 'Tis the night, they say,When all souls come back from the far away

The dead, forgotten this many a day!

– Virna Sheard, Poet –


Chapter 10 Excerpt - 


Halloween – dress up to the stars  - dress down to the bone, it’s all for amusement, right? 

This time of year was a sacred time for many such as the Celts to honor their elderly, ancestors, and the dead with special rituals and celebrations. Festivities and rituals of these  can be found in Celtic paganism history and later Catholic holy days were a combination of pagan beliefs with a day to honor the saints.

In the Celtic pagan tradition it was thought that the veils between the two worlds - the living and dead - thinned so spirits of the dead could walk the earth to visit their living relatives. Then they crossed back over to the “underworld”.

What if you could spend time with your loved ones who passed - even for a brief moment? 

During the spirits’ visit spooky things happened, as you can imagine. The living would dress-up in hopes that some spirits wouldn’t recognize and haunt them. But if they wanted the spirits to visit they would invite them with a similar ritual below. 


To connect with the spirits of your loved ones to say hello and/or ask a question sit quietly indoor or out in nature (under the night sky is lovely) and do this beautiful sacred ritual. Reconnect during the most psychic energic time of All Hallows Eve (10/31), All Saint's Day (11/1) to Dead of the Dead (11/2).

A nice short ritual is below. A most beautiful longer ritual can be found in my book, "How to Talk With Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts" 
(read more at www dot june ahern dot com)



Begin with clearing a space near a window such as a  table top or another level place to place a white candle. Near it put one or a few more photo(s) of your loved one(s) that you are wishing to visit. Also, include a treat such as a glass of wine, cup of tea or coffee, with a wee sweet for your spirit visitor.

Quiet yourself for a few minutes or longer, and then image you are sitting in a circle of warm light and say, ‘Only good can enter herein.’

Sit quietly. Open your heart, mind and inner ears. Do not judge any words or images that come to you. You have time afterward to review what happens.

Stay as long as you like, thinking of your loved ones, talking to her or him. To the best of your ability, endeavor to be calm, upbeat and peaceful. Spirits often can’t get through to their loved ones because the grief is so strong. 

Focus. Keep your words calm, loving and pleasing. The shorter the message the better. You are telepathically talking and too many words can certainly be confusing for the spirit to hear what you're saying. My many years of communicating with spirits has taught me, they are quite to the point It takes much energy for them to communicate especially to those with jumbled thoughts.

In return: If you hear, think or sense a message was given, take note it for later examination.

If nothing is forthcoming later that night or a few after you might dream about the spirits. It's easier for for them to communicate through dreams 

If you think or feel nothing has happened don't despair. A dream that night or within a few days very well can reveal your loved one is contacting you.

You might get a message meant for another (relative or friend); if you do, share it.

Spirit communication is often stronger when conducted with others so perhaps another might want to do this ritual with you.

After your ritual remember to snuff the candle.

Wishing you a merry frolicking good time and a cauldron full of blessings.
