The Oracle

This Halloween will see the completion of my year and a day study so is especially important to me.
However, my household is not Pagan at all even though they support me.

I'm looking for a way to mark the day that we all could do, and something that I could do individually, to make the day extra special. However, 'my' thing can't take very long.

Any help, ideas, suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Well I tend to be a little traditional myself and see it as the blood harvest. So I tend to have a lot meat dishes etc for a sort of group meal. But to mark the day in a family sense and have a lot of fun, pull out all the old traditional games. Bobbing for apples and things like that, do the place up with a little halloween theme but slip in a few things that are specail to you.

You can even get the family (if they are willing) to help you make a specail place for a candle. Decorate it with whatever you want and say that its to honour those who are no longer here with us. Just a few basic ideas, but like I said, the games aspect, gods you can go on forever with that one lol

Come to think of it..............I need to start planning one myself

Actually this could be a good place to have a discussion about all of our ideas about this festival. Perhaps with all the feedback we can all have a broader idea of how we each celebrate and what the little differences and similarities we each have

What do you say people, shall we discuss the ideas of what we believe Samhain?
