Salt

Grain

Honey

Directions

On this night, the ancestors walk abroad. The gates between the worlds are open wide. We call upon our ancestors, those known and unknown, to come among us and celebrate our reunion on the night of Samhain. We call upon our loved ones who have passed to come and feast with us tonight.

May the gods who lead the dead from the underworld into the world of the living be with us this night and guide our loved ones through the gates to join us in our rite.

(Taste salt, a remembrance of the otherworld.)

May the gods who embrace the dead as they leave our world for the underworld be with us this night and support our loved ones as they join with us this night.

(Taste grain, a remembrance of the living world.)

May the gods who rule the dead in the world of the living be with us this night and guard our loved ones as they join us.

(Taste honey, a remembrance of your love.)

(Tell a story of one of your beloved dead.)

(When dinner is served, before any food is consumed, the ancestors and the Gods are given their share. The dead are toasted, beginning with those whose names we do not know. Personal toasts are made around the table by each individual. Toasts are ended with the nameless again remembered. Dinner is a party of remembrance, with music and conversation.)

We thank the ancestors and the spirits of our beloved dead for coming among us in peace and blessing our rite.

We remember you in love, for we will one day dwell among you again.

We wait for your return to the land of mortals.

Walk in peace into the new year.

(The offerings left for ancestors and deities are buried outside.)

Hi,
This is quite an interesting recipe and I thought why not. I am a Catholic by birth only. I do not believe the church and my God loves everyone. Since I am Gay the catholic church shuns me so I shun them back.
