Samhain Hungry Ghost Spell
Samhain, the Celtic roots of Halloween, marks the beginning of the dark, incubatory half of the year. It's also the moment when the veils between the realms of the living and the dead are the thinnest. Thus its the time around the world to contact ones ancestors, pay tribute and to honour them, and engage in necromantic practices of various kinds. hungry ghosts are also believed to be abound- those without family or friends to feed and remember them. Place offerings of milk & barley outside under the stars to ease the ghosts' hunger,prevent their mischief, and to accrue their blessings.
