Greetings Everyone!

This is just a brief synopsis of the evening's activities. I will update this with more details later but plan on an exceptional evening of communing with the departed and celebrating the final harvest of the year!

Dumb Supper - Storm is organizing: This will be a silent feast honoring the departed and inviting them to our celebration. The meal will be a pot luck featuring traditional last harvest foods. A place setting will be set up among us for the departed so they may join in the celebration. In their honor there will be no talking or music during the feast. The following is a list of dishes that will be at the feast. If you are planning to attend our Samhain event please bring dished that are NOT on this list
wassail
veggie "stoup"
rosemary stew
pumpkin pie
punch
sweet potatoes

Altar - Sal organizing: This will be a simple altar where people can place objects, candles and altar items to honor and remember the departed. An altar cloth is needed along with decorations.

Underworld This will be the main activity of the night. Death, Charon, Hades, the Fates and Odin will greet you along your way from life, through the realm of the dead and back to life again. This journey will be a powerful and meaningful personal ritual for each person whom wishes to take the journey. Decorations are needed for the underworld. Several headstones have been crated and checked out to be painted if you have a headstone checked out please decorate it and bring it back so we can set it up in the graveyard.

       Fun as always. Would love to get some of the pictures that were taken. Blessed Be.

       I think it went great. The one thing I would have redone would have been to make an announcement on the whole process of the journey to the underworld. I noticed that some people were uncertain of what to do and would have had a lot more fun if they knew what to expect. Other than that it went great though!
