Samhain Altar Photos

It was a very good rite last evening; a very transformative experience.  When I closed my eyes for the meditative/communing portion of the rite, it was quite different than what I'd expected.  Of course, I should know by now that you can't go into these things with expectations.  When I opened my eyes, I was amazed to find an hour had passed!  I know, shame on me keeping a clock nearby, but my ritual music is often playing on the laptop.  ;-)

 Found this lovely silver plate at Goodwill and thought it would make a lovely offering plate.  I was right!

To represent the little ones lost...

All-in-all a very good, very cleansing ritual.  Took the last of the food offerings outside and placed them under the tree.  Was a beautiful night.  If anyone has any Samhain altar photos that they would like to share here, please shoot me an email at goddessdaughtergems@gmail.com and I will gladly post them or links to them here.
