The Thinning Veil
The spread that I present here is focused on Halloween/All Hallows Eve/Samhain. The title, “The Thinning of the Veil”, literally reflects the nature of this night – when the veil is thinned (but not totally lifted) – the one time of the year when one can connect with the other side with ease.
Whatever spread you use on this night of all nights reflects your intent – do you want to contact an ancestor (or ancestors)? Do you want to converse with a specific person (real or fictional)? Do you want to connect with your own Guides? Are you simply opening yourself to spiritual wisdom?
Based on your intent, write a short statement that will act as a beginning to your journey. This will set the foundation for the reading to follow.
I am going to focus my intent on conversing with a fictional character, Mary Russell (Laurie R. King’s creation – Miss Russell is the wife of Sherlock Holmes). My statement is as follows:
“Miss Russell, I admire your intellect and your life – how you conduct yourself. You see with a greater clarity than most people, and speak your mind in a straightforward manner. I leave this session open to whatever wisdom you wish to share with me.
Thank you for your willingness to share with me. I send you my blessings.”
