I have always been fascinated by the idea of death. For as long as I can , I’ve believed that “energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be transferred from one form to another”… so I’ve wondered and pondered a million things. What happens to energy at the end of a natural life? Where does it go? How is it transferred or transformed? Do spirits use this energy to hold on to this side of the veil because of how their death occurred? Is the energy connected to reincarnation? Does the energy become channeled into other beings? Do our souls live on forever?
In my attempts to find answers, I discovered that I am innately drawn to cemeteries (typically older ones). I find peace in visiting them, simply to walk around and experience whatever emotions present themselves. I piece together the sociological clues based on things like the amount of deaths occurring at within short windows of time - for example, sometimes it’s a sign that there was an epidemic of some sort. Another example would be connecting the surnames of families and quality of headstones - I can usually tell which families were upper class and the most influential in their communities.
But most of all, I breathe deeply and simply accept and connect with whatever a certain grave makes me feel - how it speaks to me. I find peace in emotionally communicating with spirits that may remain, not ready to move on. I experience the sense of mourning that all of these deaths created and I let those emotions wash over me. Sometimes I will sage the graves of infants or children in hopes that they have moved on and found their peace, or found another way for their energy to exist in this world.
Cemeteries can be emotionally overwhelming. That being said, I allow myself to just feel. Wandering graveyards helps me connect with the energy of this world and beyond the veil. I love breathing the air. I love finding meaning. I love that I’m able to feel at peace - even if a certain cemetery is known to be “haunted” or known for paranormal activity. I love connecting to the energy and the souls.
I personally believe in reincarnation. I believe I’ve lived many lives - that my soul is eternal. I believe that my soul cannot evolve until my lessons are learned - the same trials and tribulations will continue until I have learned what the Universe is trying to teach me… and then I move on to the next lesson.
I do not attempt to communicate with spirits or souls via tools like ouija boards, writing planchettes, seances, etc. I personally consider it to be potentially dangerous, but I know there are pros out there who can do it safely and effectively!!
Anyway, in conclusion, death will fascinate me for at least the rest of this natural life. I don’t know what to expect upon crossing the veil, but I leave myself open to all possibilities. Reincarnation is a personal belief - but these possibilities are endless!
So I continue my quest of wandering cemeteries. Luckily there are some large beautiful and old ones in my area that I love to visit. The beauty of the memorials, the mausoleums, the headstones… all breathtaking.
Thank you for listening to my rambling…
Blessed Be :sparkles:

Cemeteries are really cathartic. It's kind of like a place that you feel understood, even when you're alone.
My feelings exactly! :pray: 🏻
