While it is good to keep your mind and energy in the present (not always easy – we often struggle with leaving the past and not jumping to an imaginary future), but there are times when it is good and helpful to focus on the future. Not to dream but to see what’s a good path for you and to set a goal to travel it. This card coming today suggests now is a good time to evaluate such things and peer into your future.
THE VEIL – The Future
There is a misty curtain
That divides us all
The veil that this night thins
Transparent the weave becomes
And the future no longer dims
The ancient Celts used to call the time of the longest night of the year, Samhain (pronounced SOW-en). They believed that there was a misty veil that separated the world of the dead and the living, but on two nights of the year, Samhain and Beltaine (the shortest night), that the veil would thin.
The fineness of the veil meant the ancestors were closer than ever and even gods would be close. This would mean that communications from the dead were more likely to occur and that divination (where the Divine speaks through something) would be more effective.
So while using this oracle, as the veil lifts, know that the other worlds are close. Listen in particular to what messages may come forth about your future. Look to what you want to happen: plan, set intentions, think big!
