My 
The Veil Between Worlds - Witch of the Veil challenge is done!
Since the original post had a trigger warning, Iām goin to add one here.
TW: The remainder of this post will talk about dying and death. If you think this subject will be too upsetting, you might want to stop reading.
I cast a circle and called Veaug, Dragon God of Obscurity, for his assistance in helping me understand death more.
On a side note, I could sense him saying to me, āYou can just say my name and what you need me for and I will come assist you. Thereās no need for long invocations.ā
Anyway, I lit a purple candle and held an amethyst to connect with the higher planes of consciousness and for inner wisdom and started mediating.
One of the reasons I love Halloween is itās the only time of the year when we donāt really fear death or run from symbols of death like skulls and ghosts 
.
Returning to the state before we were born after we die is hard to comprehend. The concept and belief of an afterlife makes dying and death much less frightening.
However, the afterlife that Christianity presented to me didnāt provide much comfort either. Am I being a good enough person? Will I be sent to Hell when I die? The thought of being sent to Hell for eternity by an all-loving, all-merciful God just didnāt sit well with me.
Going to Heaven didnāt seem like a much better option either. You will spend eternity praising and worshipping God. Our lives on earth are just a preparation for all that.
I canāt help thinking to myself (sarcastically): so meaningful!
My family and I have all talked about what we want done with our remains. We donāt want funerals or anyone viewing our bodies. Personally, I want to be āplantedā in a biodegradable bag of dirt with along with a treeās seed (doesnāt matter what kind). My remains will put nitrogen into the soil, creating a healthy environment for that tree (and any surrounding plants) to grow. My energy will be converted into heat and dissipate into the air. Like The Law of Conservation says: āEnergy is neither created nor destroy; it can only be changed from one form to another.ā Iāll become part of the earth, the Goddess and God. So, in a way, Iāll still be experiencing the Universe. Just in a different way.
And that is perfectly fine with me.
I had some difficult writing this post because I wasnāt sure if I was expressing myself properly, but this was one of the best meditations Iāve ever done because I donāt fear death as much anymore.
Lastly, I want to share a reading I did to close out the meditation.
I drew Rebirth - Giving Yourself A Second Chance and Knowledge (note that there are five cards in the deck called generals, they are extensions of the cards from the main deck and donāt have to be included in your readings).
Iām not afraid that I wonāt be famous enough for my names to appear in the history books, but I do worry if Iām actually doing anything meaningful.
Rebirth tells us that yes, we havenāt succeeded at everything, but that doesnāt mean that you should give up. Reroute the course of your life. Search. Discover. Try new things. Change your outlook on life. See these failures as a lesson and learn from them. When you do, you will feel like a new person and experience a rebirth.
Knowledge, as extension of Rebirth, tells me that I should continue learning more about drawing and writing to hone my talents so that I can, hopefully, make a career out in them someday.
should probably fix thatā¦ 
Of the Element Earth
