Samhain

Decorate altar with one center candle and pictures, statues, keepsakes of those you wish to remember.

Place 20 white stones around the candle, to mark the 20 people who were burned during the Salem Witch Trials.  Place a stone for each person whose memory you wish to honour on this night.  Say their name as you place the stone.

Light the candle and say:

  Hail to Our God and Goddess

We send you blessing along with a hug
May this special night be filled with love
We welcome spirits and ancestors this night
As we celebrate surrounded by light
We remember the sad times and the blessings too
As the wheel ever turns, make it sacred to you
A blessed Samhain to one and to all
Old or young, short or tall
May love and blessings be sent to thee
As it is writ
So mote it be.
