What're you doing for Samhain?

[alternatingSelves]

mostly giving out candy to trick-or-treaters and watching halloween movies in costume. but I plan on doing a private prayer and lighting a candle for my family who has passed.

I made a seasonal dinner (pork and root vegetables) and put some outside my door step with a lit candle in the nearest window to welcome any passerbys. I have a ceremony every year with candles and an apple with pomegranate juice. If you cut an apple cross ways it forms a pentagram and it's an honor ritual as we pass from harvest (apple) into the dark time (pomegranate). I'm glad to hear people spending time commemorating their relatives

Blessings on this windy Samhain!

Samhain is drawing nigh again.

And what do you do this year on that day - or rather - on that night?

Well Halloween is actually on a Friday this year and we're gonna go out and be silly! Maybe I'll pull out my old Sailor Saturn costume...

Australia doesn't do Halloween as a general rule.

Also, it'll be Beltane, but on Saturday I'm presenting at a conference and doing last minute overseas shopping.

Should be a good trip at least.

Oh, and dinner with Rae'ya and Torey on Saturday night.

What I do every year if I work or don't. Eat lots of candy!

We do Days of the Dead, so we will have an altar with food, candles, incense and the photos of loved one's who have passed away.

There are traditional foods, and also we try to have the favorites food and drink of the departed, if we know what they are.

We usually include the loved one's of friends who have passed in the last year, as well as those of our own family.

The house is very festive with candles, lights, bright decorations, and smells wonderful with food and lively music.

I've already started the cooking and making decorations.

I'm going to set out some offerings to my grandmother and my girlfriends grandmother on an altar hidden in my closet haha. Other than that I'm just baby sitting and watching scary movies. My friends will probably all be working.

Burn a candle, eat sweets, I think I'm actually being dragged out somewhere this year 0.o

(And I flipped over to the first page, didn't read the date and proceeded to get very confused when everyone was talking about how Samhain was tomorrow ._.)
