Ascension Nxt Dumb Supper
You are invited to dine with the dead.
Hosted by Ashley V and Alicia F this year!
Every year at Ascension Nxt I love to host something that truly honors Samhain and our Ancestors.
Connecting with Ancestors is an age old Samhain tradition that has gotten lost over the years due to the commercialism of Halloween.
I love Halloween and all the fun things, but I love this time of the year even more when I connect with the old ways. Most likely it’s because I am an old soul and if you’re feeling that connection you are as well. 💗🎃
So what is a Dumb Supper?
A Dumb Supper is a Pagan tradition that honors the dead while dining and feasting on a full course meal, while also throwing the classy dinner traditions out the window.
We embrace the weird and eccentric, and love it! At our Dumb Supper, we dine in silence with the dead sitting at the head of the table, where the host offers them dinner during the feast. We also eat in reverse, starting with dessert and ending with soup or salad.
Why eat backwards?
Various explanations exist, but I believe eating backwards sets the intention that this is no ordinary feast and invites the dead to join us. As humans, we often fall into rigid, boring routines.
A Dumb Supper is a beautifully organized, chaotic celebration of the unknown and the realms where our ancestors reside. Spirits are free, and freedom means having fun, enjoying, and letting go of rigidity.
After eating in silence, we chat and discuss our experiences during the dinner, sharing memories to honor our ancestors. Here’s the itinerary for Ascension Nxt’s Dumb Supper.
