Things You'll Need:
- 2 tablespoons of sea salt
- White candle
- Frankincense and myrrh incense
- Relaxing music
- Black, orange and/or gold clothes and jewelry
- Obsidian or other black stone
- Apple cider with cloves and cinnamon sticks
- Apples in all colors
-
Step 1
Spend time writing down your goals for the coming year a week or so before your Samhain ritual. Concentrate on what you truly want to achieve. Make your goals reachable but ambitious. Collect objects or draw pictures that represent your goals.
-
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of sea salt to a hot bath. Light a white candle and incense of frankincense and myrrh. Put on music that relaxes you and helps you remember the good times in the past. Meditate in the bath on the deceased relatives whom you loved and visualize yourself being cleansed by the salt water.
-
Step 3
Wear black, orange or gold clothes and jewelry for your Samhain ritual. Buy a black stone, preferably an obsidian stone as black as you can find, from a jewelry or gem store. Bury it somewhere a week prior to Samhain to purify it for ritual.
-
Step 4
Make cider with cloves and cinnamon sticks for your Samhain ritual. Pumpkin bread is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie. For an interesting combination of flavors, roast or bake red potatoes and apples side by side. Apples in all colors also make beautiful altar decorations.
-
Step 5
Decorate your altar with the things that represent your goals and create the magic circle. Remember those who've been a comfort to you throughout your life and wish them joy wherever they are. Then concentrate on your goals for the coming year. Write down your goals as soon after the Samhain ritual as you can.

on 10/26/2009 This is the article I've been looking for. Not only does it mention things that other articles do, but it also helps me understand things better and see the non-obvious things that need to be done. These ideas and some from other writers are sure to help me do this Samhain right. It's important for me because I am in my year and a day, I need to do it as well as I can.
