Happy Samhain, darlings!

Oh, I am SO in the spirit for this festival. I hope you’ve taken inspiration from my Samhain newsletter last week on how to celebrate.

As we are ever so close to the biggest Pagan holiday of the year (just one sleep to go!), I wanted to share this post about making offerings to our ancestors and honouring those who have gone before us 🖤

This is a festival where the dead walk amongst us, after all.

Ancestor worship is one of Samhain’s main ancient practices and allows us to commune with or simply give thanks to those deeply missed loved ones who have passed on.

Here, I’ll cover:

  • why we leave ancestor offerings

  • what is a suitable offering?

  • how to work with your ancestors

  • what to do this Samhain

Let’s get started.
