Samhain also, therefore marks the dying of the old year, and is time to remember loved ones who are no longer with us! Ambience Seasonal flowers such as, Chrysanthemums, orange and red if possible, Orange candles Carved Pumpkins burn rosemary branches on your fire. Catering Bowls of fruits and nuts Pumpkin soup garnish with rosemary Homemade bread cheeses Bake Biscuits and decorate with spirals or pentacles for children who come trick or treating Suggested rituals In a window light seven candles in memory of family and friends who have passed on. Take a few moments to remember them and respect them, giving thanks for their lives. Invite a psychic to youe home to give readings to you and your mates. Give each friend a bay leaf, let them dwell on something they'd like to put behind them before throwing it away- along wth their problem( so long as itz not another person!) on to the fire! |
