      RIP

      I have never been across the way
      Seen the desert and the birds
      You cut your hair short
      Like a shush to an insult
      The world had been yelling
      Since the day you were born
      Revolting with anger
      While it smiled like it was cute
      That everything was shit.

        We do Days of the Dead, so we will have an altar with food, candles, incense and the photos of loved one's who have passed away.

        There are traditional foods, and also we try to have the favorites food and drink of the departed, if we know what they are.

        We usually include the loved one's of friends who have passed in the last year, as well as those of our own family.

        The house is very festive with candles, lights, bright decorations, and smells wonderful with food and lively music.

        I've already started the cooking and making decorations.

          I'm going to set out some offerings to my grandmother and my girlfriends grandmother on an altar hidden in my closet haha. Other than that I'm just baby sitting and watching scary movies. My friends will probably all be working.

            Burn a candle, eat sweets, I think I'm actually being dragged out somewhere this year 0.o

            (And I flipped over to the first page, didn't read the date and proceeded to get very confused when everyone was talking about how Samhain was tomorrow ._.)

              Classic autumnal stuff either side, including a local festival, decorating, baking, gathering and foraging etc., plus my Samhain/Calan Gaeaf ritual which is very ancestor-focussed this year. I'm also going to my grandparents' gravesites and cleaning them up, lighting some candles.

                I plan to do a ritual focused on ancestors. I also am going to hand out candy and watch scary movies.

                  This year I have to be at work in the evening. Pffft. Oh well, I might get out for a walk earlier in the day.

                      Re: What're you doing for Samhain?

                      Well, in the next week I'll be going around and drawing protection runes over each doorway and window. While the street itself that I live on is fine, very close by are some problem areas. As of yet, I've not experienced any issues, but one can never be too careful. In the past, my ex-wife was rather against my practices and so I was unable to do anything like this, but I'm trying to change my habit from NOT doing anything to DOING something more often.

                      ON Samhain itself, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Probably sit around and be lazy, watching scary movies and gorging myself on candy.

                        Stir-fry with my dad and sister and their house, because they get more kids coming around. Plus I get to spend time with my cat and watch bad horror movies while drinking the best grasshopper (the green alcoholic beverage) ever.

                          I'm currently stuffing my face with orange and cherry slices. You know those jelly type wedge candies. Oh yeah.

                                I drank a six pack of KALIBER, ate two bags of gummi rocks, and watched The Room. Surprisingly didn't throw up.
                                Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
