Every culture has its own rites and rituals to honor and worship their ancestors. In Celtic Tradition there is what we call the Dumb Supper. It is a meal shared by any family or group of people held in complete silence with a place setting for the dead. The managers of Le Malange Magique would like to host this powerfully moving event with the public. This will be a catered meal. All you need bring is a picture or object of an ancestor that you wish to remember, honor, and invite to dinner. A traditional ancestral shrine will be erected and a place set at the table for our guests from beyond the veil. At the beginning of the meal, Robyn will guide everyone to introduce their "guest" and say a sentence or two about why they bring this person or pet to dinner this night. Then Scarlet will lead a short prayer or chant. The meal will be served and we will eat in silence contemplating our affections and respect for our ancestors. At the end of the meal, offerings will be made, blessing given, and all will part with love.
