Thread: ALTAR DECORATIONS: Halloween/Samhain

Tweet

ALTAR DECORATIONS:
Autumn leaves, fall flowers, pomegranates, apples, pumpkins, ears of corn, sprays of grain, corn dollies, gourds, nuts, seeds, acorns, chestnuts and images of ancestors are all appropriate. Use whatever is in season where you live, whatever feels right and looks good to you.
FOOD:
Gingerbread, freshly roasted nuts, nut breads, anything made with apples or pumpkin, meat (especially bacon), doughnuts, popcorn, cakes with lucky tokens in them, and red foods because the ancients held them sacred to the dead.
DRINK:
Mead, apple cider, mulled cider, mulled wine.
CELEBRATE
Masks, costumes - trick-or-treating - feasting and partying to defy the coming darkness (bob for apples, roast nuts, pop popcorn) - harvest feasts - rituals to honor the dead - Witches' Ball
MAGICKAL WORKINGS:
Samhain is one of the most potent nights of the year for magick. As a cross-quarter day it is a supernatural time, a time outside of time, the night that is not a night, a powerful time of flux and change. This is a good night for: candle magick - astral projection - past life work - dark moon mysteries - mirror spells (reflection) - casting protection - inner work - propitiation - clearing obstacles - uncrossing - inspiration - workings of transition or culmination - manifesting transformation - creative visualization.

Tis the season (almost)!
I enjoy doing these little autumn rituals, and of course I mix in the Halloween decorations to make it complete.

I tell my wife she should have been born a Druid instead of Roman Catholic.

I love Autumn decorating. I put up the corn and pumpkins, squash, apples. scented candles, cinnamon, leaves, etc. Can't think of a better season to celebrate.
