In this powerful solo episode, host Gary Dean dives deep into October’s mystical atmosphere and the ancient belief in the “thinning of the veil”—that sacred time when the spiritual and physical worlds draw closer together. Drawing from cultural traditions like Samhain and Día de los Muertos, Gary unpacks the meaning of this energetic shift and why intuition, vivid dreams, synchronicities, and ancestral messages often feel stronger this time of year.
Listeners will discover practical spiritual guidance for the season, including: ✨ How to create a small ancestral altar to honor loved ones 🕯️ Journaling and dreamkeeping for spiritual awareness 🧘 Meditation techniques for grounding and tuning inward 🔮 Simple energy protection using sage, black tourmaline, and light visualization 🔥 Releasing what no longer serves you to welcome renewal and balance
Gary also leads a gentle guided visualization to help listeners connect with their ancestors, receive intuitive insights, and set clear intentions for the months ahead.
Throughout the episode, Gary shares community love with shout-outs to Appalachian Rootworks (Rooted in Ruins), Without a Candle Podcast with Carly and Carla, Luna & Soul Ink (York, PA), Hannah Rose (The Sound Within), Elaine from Arcane Oracle, London Sunset Child, and a birthday shout-out to co-host Lizzie.
