Samhain approaches — quietly, inevitably, like the breath of the night itself. Its shadows begin to thicken, drawing in strange creatures and tangled situations that test our strength. Today, the Magical Door opens through battles, trials of the heart and will — yet also through the protection and guidance of the Gods who walk beside us.

Like Odysseus, after long years of wandering and inner wars, we are striving to return home — to ourselves, to the soul that has grown weary of exile. The path is difficult and full of temptations, leading us through storms of doubt, islands of illusion, and the sirens’ call that tempts us back to places where nothing awaits us anymore. We wander among monsters that try to break our spirit and devour our hearts — yet ahead lies home. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial not to turn back or lose faith in ourselves. Samhain calls us to remember who we are and why we came into this world.

This journey demands resolve — an almost sacred obsession with our purpose — and that inner clarity, alive, fiery, and full of faith, which does not fade even when the darkness feels impenetrable. And perhaps, right now, amid this shifting night and uncertainty, our true power is being born — the force that leads us into a new cycle of life, a higher level of awareness, and the home where we finally become who we truly are.

May all doors open for you!
