How will you be celebrating All Hallows? I will be celebrating this harvest holiday with my family, hopefully with a small bonfire and husk poppets bound with wishes for the coming year at the peak of All Hallows. #CoSoPagans #CoSoWitch #Witch
@PaganMother My practices for this time of year focus on ancestors. I make a small dinner to share with them at my altar, play my ukulele for them, and tell them stories of my memories with them.
@weirdfizz Ancestor work can be really hard sometimes, remember to take time to give yourself care if things become intense for you, okay? ^^
@PaganMother Thanks for the reminder! I get so caught up in planning sometimes that I forget to give myself that space.
@weirdfizz I can understand that, I try to work closely with my ancestors during this holiday as well. A lot of my practice cycles around things I learned from my wiccan mother, and adopted from other practices as I grew and shaped my own praxis. Self care is centric to spirituality however, and neglecting the self, can look poorly to the ancestors too.
@PaganMother I'm still learning not to feel guilty about self-care after years of abuse and trauma. PTSD therapy taught me a lot, but I'm still building healthier habits. Remembering that my ancestors want me to be healthy could help me with that.
@weirdfizz Yeah, I try to give myself reminders daily to take care of myself better, and give myself more room to handle emotional issues than I had in the past. This holiday it becomes centric for me to do cause I know my ancestors would want better for me and of me. I'm sure your own would wish the same. ^_^ Blessings on you, may the holiday serve you in the best way possible.
@PaganMother Thank you. I hope your own holiday practice brings blessings to you and your family, too.
@PaganMother Probably make some baked goodies, do a bit of tarot for myself, and play some games...all while being here and there online All Hallows lol
@Caryani As long as it serves you in the best way, that's what I think! I hope you have a fine one though. :)
@PaganMother It'll be enjoyable that's for sure, cause you can't cook in a bad mood the food doesn't come out tasting right! lol
@PaganMother It'll be very quiet here.
I'll have some candy available just in case we get a knock on the door but it's quite unlikely.
Might spend a little time in prayer for the dearly departed. Maybe a small fire in the pit if the weather's dry.

@FernLovebond 🗞️ *bap* No one wants those times to return.

NnnnnnOOOOO⁰⁰⁰⁰°°°°°° 🤣
@PaganMother Going to a ritual with a friend. Gonna be cold!!
@HealingHobbit Bring a coat and some mulled wine to share! That always warms up for ritual times. ^_^
@PaganMother Definitely the coat. The wine...might do, might do! Great idea.
@HealingHobbit Even spiced cider will do the trick, I'd recommend using pumpkin pie seasoning from mccormicks for a quick pinch sort.
