Samhain is upon us! The time of year when the veil between worlds is the thinnest, making it is easier to connect beings and energies on the other side. Do you know your spirit crew yet? Everyone has guides and ancestors on the other side wanting to help and support us on our journey, some may be ancestors you are not even aware of, or other spiritual, cosmic and innerdimensional beings that are waiting to meet us half way!
If you're not sure how to connect with your ancestors or other guiding spirits, we've crafted a great Ritual Kit to help you travel through the veil in a safe and protected way, so you might find the motivation and inspiration in your practice. Shop our Samhain & Hallows Eve Ritual Kit HERE and see below for some ritual inspo!
