As the veil thins, our ancestors draw near…
This is the sacred time to honor those who walked before us — the ones whose blood, love, and lessons flow through us still.
Whether known or unknown, seen or unseen, your ancestors are part of your magic — guiding you through the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
Here’s a simple Samhain ancestor ritual to connect, remember, and give thanks.
Create Sacred Space:
Light candles or dim the lights.
Cleanse your space with smoke, sound, or salt water.
Light incense to uplift the energies & create a bridge between the worlds.
Build Your Ancestor Altar:
A photo, heirloom, or something that reminds you of them.
A glass of water (for the spirits)
Flowers, crystals, or seasonal items like apples or autumn leaves
A candle to represent their light
Ancestor Invocation / Blessing:
Read it aloud as you light your ancestor candle.
"As the veil grows thin, I call upon those who came before.
Ancestors of blood and spirit — guide me with your wisdom, surround me with your love.
I light this flame in your honor, a bridge between worlds, a spark of remembrance, your light continued.
Your stories live in me. Your dreams move through me.
I am your continuation, the living flame of your legacy.
Blessed be the ancestors.
Blessed be their light."
Offerings & Gratitude:
Offer food, tea, or drink — something your ancestors would’ve enjoyed.
Speak their names if you know them. Whisper your gratitude if you don’t.
Say:
"I honor those who came before me.
I walk with your strength, love, and guidance.”
Connect & Listen:
Sit quietly. Feel their presence.
Notice sensations, emotions, or subtle messages — their language is energy.
You may pull a tarot card, write a letter, or simply breathe in their memory.
Close the Circle:
When you’re ready, thank them for visiting.
Extinguish your candle or let it burn out safely.
Know that they walk beside you — not just today, but always.
The Magic Lives On:
Every time you light a candle, every time you speak their names,you weave their spirit into the present moment.
You are their living altar.
