Samhain Alter: Fall colors all crystals and candles visable

Hi Readers,

I have been wanting to set up my altar for Samhain coming up. I have been busy with medical related stuff this past week. Today, I set out to locate decorations for my altar. I searched for things that would go well on my altar, but I did not find anything. So, I decided to use what I have available in my own home. I feel that this is the best option because I am sure many of you have things at home that can be used. I decided to keep it simple this time around. Since I own a lot of crystals, I started with that. I used a black altar cloth that was gifted to me. So, I made sure to choose crystals that reflected my plans for Samhain and reflect the season.

I chose quartz to aid in my magical workings for that night, in addition to hematite for grounding work, and I selected to place my bags containing crystals that I use for readings and divination as I will be doing some during Samhain. Further, I chose an amethyst piece that is not entirely visible because I have charged it for the purpose of aiding me in my meditations and with assisting me in connecting more to my psychic abilities. Lastly, if you notice I did not have any ancestors up on my altar. This does not mean I will not be honoring anyone or not doing any work. I don’t have a lot of photos of the people I want to honor nor mementos. Thus, I used something to represent them.
