visit a loved one at a cemetery:
honor the passing of family and friends by visiting and tending to their gravesite. call to mind memories and consider ways the loved one continues to live on within you. leave an offering there such as fresh flowers or dried herbs.

hold a seance or practice divination methods (tarot, pendulum, spirit boards, etc.):
since samhain is a time of little distance between the living and the dead, If thereโs anyone on the other side youโd like to communicate with, now is the perfect time.

not only is samhain a time to focus on death; it is also a time to focus on introspection from the past yearโs events. take a look at your life and see what youโd like to release and then work through what you need to work through.
