Ancestors in October

Ancestral Shrines (Scarlet)
This time of year is especially focused on honoring ancestors while the veil between the worlds is thin and passable. This workshop will help you design an ancestral shrine inspired by some cultures creations and means of honoring their dead.
Wednesday October 28th, 7-9pm $30


*Out of death, comes life.
Forever remember the Cauldron of Transformation
and the seeds left behind
of the burned trees as they birth the new forests.
Out of death, comes life.

Honoring Ancestors
With the Veil between the worlds thin and passable, this is an idea time for divination or to honor those who have passed from our lived. We can honor ancient ancestors from far back along our family tree. We can honor heroes and heroines who have had an impact on our lives. We can honor recently deceased friends, family members, or even pets.

Public Altar (Sacred Space)
Here at Melange Magique, we provide a sacred space for all. It is a semi-private corner within our store with an altar, shrine and display shelf. All through October, it will be set up as an Ancestral Shrine. Come light a candle, make an offering, or write in our Ancestral Honoring Book. This is your opportunity to say or write whatever you wish or need or never had the chance to before. Say "goodbye" in a spiritual way in our Sacred Space.

Prayer for Letting Go
In this time of loss
Grief weighs heavy upon my heart
I cry my sorrow to the Gods
I ask that my grief be laid to rest
