With Samhain right around the corner, stores are full of decor that makes many of us excited. While I usually prefer supporting artisans or making my own tools, I saw this ceramic cauldron at Target and it was exactly what I wanted for my Ancestor shrine. I like to give offerings of beverages, usually tea, and I’ve often felt that their shrine deserved a special cup or bowl. Well there we are – the cauldron of rebirth. I do intend to commission a friend who does ceramics when she is ready and when I can afford it, but this will do for now.

I think I need to make a trip to Target now! I’ve been looking for a decent stand in cauldron until I can afford the one I really want.
It wasn’t until recently that I had even considered let alone heard of having a separate ancestor shrine. Seems fitting that with the anniversary of my grandmother’s passing that all this should come to me now.
