Signs! We have been talking about them off and on all year. What they are, what they can feel like, how to recognize them and then … what to do with the information when you get the download, the direction and all of the amazing emotions wrapped up in all of it.  Last year (literally a year ago) the sign I got was one of those .... slap in the face type messages! Fast forward to June of this year …. And I drew the Spider Spirit Oracle card for our June Patreon workings. In doing the research for it, I was reminded of this download and night of the intense message and sign.

When we pause to truly look at a spider’s web (like really look) we see how every thread is part of something larger. Even the tiniest strand connects to others. If you brush one edge ever so gently, the entire structure trembles. The vibration doesn’t stay where it began; it travels. It ripples outward, reaching every corner.  I think … That’s exactly how the Witch’s Web works. Every spell, every word spoken with intention, every breath of magic ... none of it happens in isolation. What we do here, in our kitchens, on our porches, beneath October’s star-drenched sky, moves through the web. Like a pulse of light, it travels unseen, connecting with threads spun long before us and stretching into futures we can only imagine.

And right now, in October, the web feels even more alive. This is the season of the thinning veil, when the boundaries between our world and the spirit realm soften. It’s when whispers come a little clearer, shadows carry familiar weight, and the unseen web that connects us all shimmers! Ancestors, beloved spirits, land guardians, and witches from ages past are close. The ancestral threads in the web are some of the oldest and strongest threads we have. Every ancestor who stirred a pot, spoke a prayer, planted seeds, healed wounds, whispered their hopes to the night sky spun their magic into the web. Their threads stretch through bloodlines, through chosen families, through spiritual kinships. They are not passive observers on the edges of the web. No, they’re part of the structure itself. They hold us, steady us, and sometimes give the strands a little nudge to remind us they’re still here.

Today you'll hear my journey with the BIG sign and message I got last year, but today isn’t just a story time. It’s a journey. A weaving. And as we gather here just days before Samhain (when the veil is at its thinnest) I believe the air is thick with signs, whispers, and ancestral presence. The web is alive… and it’s waiting for us to listen!
