Over the holidays while I am at home I will be gathering the
materials I need for the construction of an Altar of the Dead. This will
mesh a necromantic working altar with one for the Ancestors and Donn,
Irish God of the Dead. The following materials will be needed: Anointing
oil, ancestor dolls, good wine glasses, white horse statuette, black
altar cloth, incense, spirit vessels, necromantic herbs, small cast iron
cauldron, black candles (unscented), air-tight containers for holding
graveyard dirt, spirit powder, rusted nails (substitute for coffin
nails), bell, ritual knife, bamboo or elder flutes, and a iron wand.
Hopefully
by the time my roommate and I move into our new place I will have the
materials required and I will be able to begin my practice. There is
already a work bench in the basement of the new house that I will be
using for this purpose. Having it located beneath the ground seems to be
the proper place for it. I will be using ancestor dolls in place of
pictures and personal objects because the latter simply takes up too
much space. An additional reason is that not many personal belongs from
my ancestors have been kept. Anyways that's all for now, thanks for
reading.
