Setting Up Your Altar: Samhain

Colors of the Season: 

The leaves have fallen (or should be falling) and the colors are becoming dark. Use rich, deep colors. Ethereal colors are also highly welcomed as well due to the fact that Samhain is heavily based in spirits and the deceased.

  • Purples
  • Blacks
  • Burgundies 
  • Gold
  • Orange
  • White/Silver

 

Symbols of Death:

Everything around is either dying or hibernating/migrating, plants, animals, and the such are becoming scarce as they hide from the impending winter. 

  • Skeletons (skull/small pieces)
  • Grave Rubbings
  • Ghosts
  • Sickles
  • Scythes
  • Ancestral Ties (pictures/homemade objects/shrine cover)

 

The Harvest Ends:

Whatever is in harvest during the month of October can be placed on your altar. 

  • Squash
  • Pumpkins
  • Apples
  • Root Vegetables

 

Other Symbols of Samhain:

  • Mulled wine
  • Dried leaves, acorns and nuts
  • Dark breads
  • Ears of corn
  • A straw man
  • Tools of divination or spirit communication
  • Offerings to the ancestors
  • Statuary of deities symbolizing death
