Day of the Dead Altar

This year for Samhain I made a small personal, portable altar. Here it is with sweets for the ancestors. On the right is my black scrying mirror reflecting the candles lit for all the ancestors.


This friendly guy sits atop the curio cabinet that holds most of my Day of the Dead collection. We keep him up there and he wears a santa hat at Yule.

Thats the great thing about photographing cemeteries, they are all so different! Like people I suppose, but I don't like photographing people.
