Today is Halloween. Or Samhain in the Celtic tradition. It marks the end of summer and the end of harvest season. It marks a new year…. it’s the Witch’s New Year. It is also a time to honor those who have gone before you – your ancestors. In Mexico and in parts of Latin America (and South America) they celebrate Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). And they bring treats and light candles at the final resting places of their ancestors.
One way to celebrate this is to have a Dumb Supper. It’s a way to celebrate and honor your ancestors. You set a place at the table (plate, napkin, fork, knife, glass, etc) and eat your meal in silence. You invite your ancestors to join you. The “dumb” part is simply about being silent and not speaking.
Feel free to light a candle for your ancestors, too. You can do that at any time (any day of the year). Thank them for watching over you. Ask them for help and protection going forward.
