What To Bring For The Ritual – Please Read!

For the ritual, please bring the following items:
  • Pictures of the deceased loved one(s) to be ancestralized. If photos are not available, bring mementos of deceased loved ones or write their name on paper as a substitute. Do not bring photos of the living and the deceased. **
  • Candles – red for the Ancestor altar, yellow and/or brown for the Earth shrine. It is important to have long-burning candles, so the shrine stays fully lit during the vigil. The 7-day candles in glass are ideal as they require less attention and are safer. Please avoid scented candles. As a substitute, you may bring white candles if red ones are not available.
  • Fresh flowers, sacred items to decorate the Ancestor altar and Earth shrine.
    Offerings – cornmeal, tobacco, whole foods including fruits, vegetables etc.
  • Pieces of fabric or old clothing belonging to the deceased, if possible. Ideally of natural fabrics (no metal or other inert materials).  Do not bring clothing that belongs to you.
  • Knife for whittling branches, if you have one.
  • Celebratory outfit for Feast to Honor the Ancestors.

**Note about photos. Be sure that photos do not depict anyone that is still living. Protect original photos by covering with plastic, laminating, or bringing copies.
