ABOUT THIS HOLIDAY
Hallows' Eve marks the end of nature's growing cycle; the plants are dying, and the frost is coming. Animals are migrating, stocking up, or preparing to hibernate. It is the threshold of winter when the walls between the worlds thin. The Realm of Shadows, where all who have passed on reside, is closer, increasing the possibility of chaos.

It is a good time to honor our ancestors and beloved dead and ask for guidance or blessings. Carved lanterns are often set out to guide them home for a visit where their favorite foods await them on altars or set tables. 

​The Hallows' Eve menu honors the final harvest and often features heavier dishes like stewed meat, mushrooms, or squash. It is also a great time to get out those old family recipes and make an ancestor meal. ​
