Welcome back to Twin Stars, the podcast where cosmic wisdom meets everyday magic. In this devotional episode, Jamie (@houseofmage) and Josie (@basickvvitch) walk the Road to Samhain with the First Quarter Moon (Tuesday, October 29). This is a liminal threshold when the veil thins, action meets reverence, and doors open to ancestors and unseen allies. We explore Samhain and Día de los Muertos traditions, protection magic, ancestral healing, and a void-space ritual to bridge soul star and earth star. Our oracle, Sparks of Light, brings giddy hope and next-step clarity.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
🖤 First Quarter Moon medicine, act with intention, choose and cross thresholds
🖤 Samhain and Día de los Muertos, remembrance, ofrendas, protection, welcoming helpful spirits
🖤 Scorpio season themes, transformation, fixed water, the subconscious and the unseen
🖤 Ancestral work, accepting lineage to avoid ghosts, healing backward through embodiment
🖤 Protection practices, black and white candles, archangel quadrant, warding customs
🖤 Chakric pagan wheel, the eighth liminal bridge that links crown to root, color magic across the season
🖤 Automatic writing, brain dump and spirit-led pen for messages when the veil is thin
🖤 Oracle, Sparks of Light, follow tingles of aliveness, one spark leads to the next
