Altar prep

Hey there..so in case any of you were intrested in setting up an altar for Samhain, here's some basic tips:

PREPERATION
Place an altar cover of either brown, deep red, or orange on a surface. Have a God and/or Goddess symbol(s) and objects that represent earth (salt, pentegram,dirt...),air (feather,incense...),water (water obviously^_^), and fire (match, rock made of lava, red candle...). Decorate with Autumn leaves, fall flowers, apples, pumpkins, gourdes, corn, dollies, and stalks of grin.Altars are set up to pay respects to departed loved ones including pets so place photos of the deceased upon the altar as well. It can be set up on a bookcase, fireplace mantle, small wooden table, large flat rok, etc. As you pray at the altar, you can do more than pay respect to the dead, this is a perfect time to focus upon giving up bad habits and relationships. It is also a a time for scrying, protection spells.

Under fire, did you say "math" in your discription? It seems interesting that a subject would be a symbol of fire... cool!

It sounds like something that most Christians need to take up, at least in the paying respect to passed over relatives part. At least to me, it seems as if the most we do is bury them and walk away. It's kind of sad...

Interesting, and pretty cool. I'm interested in learning more about your religion, and looking up the spirit you named in your post.
