Samhain is approaching and the veil is thinning. It’s the time to connect with the ancestors and collective dead. It’s the time to practise scrying or divination.

For your altar, decorate with natural things from your areas to honour the local land spirits and dead. Fallen leaves, acorns etc. carve or decorate a pumpkin for your altar or windowsill. Gather some local grave yard dirt for your altar if permission is given by the graveyard grim.

Practice divination with any tool you are drawn to. Traditionally it’s a time of scrying and all you need is a dark colour bowl filled with water and a darkened room lit only by candlelight (ensuring candles are not near anything flammable and secure in holders). The water you gaze into should be reflected by candlelight, soften your gaze as you look into your scrying bowl, it does take time and practice but stick with it and keep a note book close by for journaling.

You can also practice your tarot technique as well. Do a reading for yourself or even for the energy of the season. Maybe gather some friends together and do a group reading too.

Honour your ancestors by placing photos of passed loved ones on an altar for the ancestors. You could also add graveyard dirt,found animal bones, herbs associated with the dead etc and can be as simple or as fancy as you like. You can even offer the ancestors an offering. I often do one of incense, candle light and blessed water. I often do this around the dark moon and say the following to them during my offerings

On my ancestor altar (above) I have my late husband, my father and grandparents, aunts and uncles and even a passed beloved pet cat!

I give my offerings and say my words which I share with you here.

“Ancestors, I call to you now to be here with me now and always. Accept these offerings with the love they are given. I offer you Earth the grounding element to secure, I offer you water, the spiritual pure element. I offer you incense the air element for communication. I offer you a candle, the fire element for light and warmth. Ancestors accept these simple offerings in love and remembrance. Beloved Ancestors feed on this earth, smoke, water and light to nourish and strengthen you. Blessed be”

You can tailor the words to suit you and your ancestors and doing this on Samhain and every dark moon helps to strengthen the bond.

For Artober prompt 12, “Ancestor”, I decided to draw the original adventurer that both Aster and Ember are descended from, Tinuviel Nova. She seems like maybe she was not as chill and nice as the statues and stories depict her.

DxP REWRITE - Sasmu

Meet Sasmu! Like Mizumi to Ansy, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree from her great-great grandson, Ikrit, though with a little bit of Akari’s more tsundere sass mixed in there lol.

As such, she takes the place of Akari as Professor Laventon’s assistant in the Hisuian past. I imagined her as a woman ahead of her time: very intelligent, more accepting of things like Poké Balls & outsiders, etc. In the 2 years since Legends Arceus, she had become a very capable trainer herself, carrying a full team of 6.

(Yes, these are still Fire Emblem names - just exclusively from Fire Emblem Fates’ Hoshidan characters lol)

PS: as of the update (see below), her kimono has ume (plum) blossoms embroidered on to replace the sort of “Glaceon flowers” I threw on there before. Ume is a late winter / early spring flower like sakura (cherry blossom) that blooms before the snow is spent, symbolizing hope & resilience at winter’s margin. ❄️

UPDATE: As you can see, I decided to update these character profiles with new art, & a cleaner design that allows for more info! If you want to compare / contrast, here’s the older version:
