Here's my ancestor altar for Samhain, the festival celebrated by modern pagans to honour loved ones who have passed. On the altar I put old photographs of my parents, my grandma and the cat I owned when I was a child.
Altars are good ways to mark the turning of the seasons and the Wheel of the Year. They don't have to be big. This one is on top of the fireplace in my witchy room. On it I always have small statues of deities but the other things change. It can have seasonal flowers, candles of an appropriate colour and other things such as small pictures or photographs.
This morning I'm doing a free online talk to mark the launch. It will be on Facebook Live, but the recording will be put on my YouTube channel afterwards. I'll be reading from the book, chatting and answering questions. It's 10am for the live event, but will be available for watching later too.
