Earth Haven is an adult working Coven of a Tradition that works the sabbats as Mysteries and Craft workings. The point of us doing a Public ritual is so we can share some of the work we do in our Tradition and Coven with the Community at large.
For us, Samhain is a working for the dead. We hope those who need such workings will benefit from it. Solitaries who have lost a family member and have nowhere else to deal with that loss at this time of the Wild Hunt, will hopefully be able to take advantage of this working.
**WARNING** This is a ritual for adults – it is not child friendly. Parents please be aware that this rite is not child friendly, We advise of this in advance so that you can decide whether you want to bring your kids or not. It is out of respect to parents and children alike that we make such a warning. Young ones are very open and more susceptible to high energies and emotions. They often become very distressed themselves, becoming somewhat hysterical when they observe adults in the midst of strong emotion or grieving. The energy will be high, strong emotions will be expressed, not to mention heavy spirit activity in this rite.
If you have lost a loved one in the past year, or if you have a departed loved one very dear to you that you choose to honor this night, please bring a picture or an item belonging to that person. You will have the opportunity to place it on the Ancestral Altar and light a candle for your loved one. These items must be reclaimed at the end of the evening.
Please bring a dish to share for feasting after the rite. It will be very important to ground with food after this rite.
