While pondering the Celtic concept of the thinning veil during the time of Samhain, know in the U.S. as Halloween, this little painting came forth.

The Celts believe that the veil separating our everyday world from the spirit world becomes very thin during Samhain celebrations, allowing spirits to come to Earth. Some come for connection with loved ones or for mischief.

It’s also is a perfect time for the living to engage in self-reflection, while seeking guidance from the spirit world.
