Samhain Dumb Supper (Limited to Regulars)

Join us for a traditional Witches Dumb Supper, or "Feast of the Dead." Practiced in both Mexico and the British Isles, variations of the dumb supper have been performed for centuries, from sea to sea.

Friends and family gather for a potluck style dinner party, each person bringing something special in honor of a loved one, be it a favorite food dish, or a favorite wine, etc. A table setting is made at the head of the table for the Mighty Dead. Around the setting are placed photos and mementos of loved ones who have passed on.
In the first half hour (signaled by the ringing of a bell), we will eat in total silence, by the darkness of candlelight. We do this in memory of the dead, and to "clear the psychic airwaves" for communication later on. Once the time of silence is over, the bell will ring again and talking (usually about memories of those who have gone before) resumes.

Spirit Connection Séance - 8pm
After dinner, Mike, a professional medium, will lead a spirit connection séance. As the veils between the worlds wane thin on this night, Samhain is the perfect time to get in touch with the spirits of the other side.
The seance is optional and you can chose to hang out around the table instead if you wish.

What to bring:
-a small dish to share

-mementos or photos of loved ones who have passed on. or something that reminds you of them.

-feel free to come in costume, ritual garb, or wear black
