As we approach the holiday season it can be tough knowing loved ones are on the other side. One of the things that I love in the Samhain season is the closeness and celebration of our loved ones who have crossed. You can carry that tradition through the holidays of Yule as well.
Choose a quiet area of your house that you can use for an altar for your loved ones. Decorate it for the holidays with perhaps some pretty lights, trinkets from holidays gone by, or anything else that you can think of that you wish to have as a tribute to your loved ones. Place pictures of your loved ones on this altar. You can dedicate the altar to one loved one or have it for more than one loved one. It’s truly up to you.
As an option, if you wish at the front of the altar you can place a box. You want this to be a box with a hole in the top or a cover. This is your holiday message box. In this box throughout the season, you can write notes to your loved ones on the other side. Just fold them up and put them in the box for them to receive.
Light candles on the altar whenever you wish to give them an extra tribute or enhance the energy on the altar. Just be sure they are away from flammables.
It’s a really nice way to have an extra connection with your loved ones through the holidays. Feel free to customize these and add whatever you wish. It’s your loving energy that will add to it.
I hope you have a magickal day!
Much Love and Many Blessings,
