~*Craft Ancestors Devotion At Samhain*~

The precarious freedom that we have to practice our spirituality has been
earned by the sweat and the blood of those who have walked this path before
us. At this time of the year, we generally honor the ancestors of our blood.
This working will focus on honoring the ancestors of our soul - those who
blazed the path of witchcraft.

Select an object that represents your connection to the Elders of the craft.
Light both a Red and a Black candle, and say:

"Across the veil, your torch burns bright,
Goddesses shining through darkest night.
Honored ancestors of my soul and heart,
Tell me the wisdom of your art.
In privilege, I walk the path you made.
As you pass the torch,
I tend it's flame.

Meditate on the lives of those who have gone before. Honor the object that
represents your craft ancestor.

A Letter For The Dead

(To have dreams of the dead)
1 white candle
picture of the dead person
pentagram
Light the white candle and stare at the flame for a few minutes concentrating on the dead one.When you are ready look at the picture and say,
"You are gone forever;
But through this spell,
My dreams to which
you will come"
Let the candle burn out all the way to the bottom,never blow the candle out.You maysleep with the picture under your pillow if you wish.By three nights you will have dreamt of the dead one in your mind.
