First time halloween

[Bee952]

For the first time in my life I will celebrate Halloween as in remember my ancestors. As i said before i come from a little place in Germany where they were very conservative protestant christian and halloween definitly was a devils festival. I still feel a bit awkward and it annoys me so much that that christian thinking is still so deep anchored inside myself.
But it is also kind of funny that we always had engraved sugar beets (we never had any pumpkins) standing outside the houses around that time.
My mother knew a lot about homepathy and somehow i wonder if she had a different path than the christian one but as she died when i was 13 i will never know.

What i have planned is to have a special candle burning for that day with pictures or things that reminds me of my ancestors. I will do a ritual of remembrance (any suggestions?) and we will have a lovely meal with pumpkin, apples ect.

My partners path is the buddhist way. He just started and so we still figure out what holidays to celebrate and how. He became vegetarian i am a so called pescetarian because i still eat fish. It is exciting to find new ways. I am looking forward to next saturday. Unfortunatelly i have to work on sunday.

Thank you very much. It was really nice. We had roasted pumkin, apple pie and loads more roasted vegetables. My partner once painted a picture of my mum and so we had that one up and loads of candles burning. I didn't do a special ritual we just talked a lot about the once who passed away and it was really nice.
Many greetings Bee
