Just set up my samhain alter!
I added feathers off my dead hen,
My dead grandmas jewelry; Bracelet, and 2 rings.
Palo santo stick,
Dry leaves,
I also have 2 of these sheep ornaments that my grandmother used to have,
For us who know nothing about this, can you explain the symbolism (if that's the right word) of these items?

I suck at this ! But I can try.
Samhain is believed to be where halloween orignated from! It's mostly to celebrate our ancestors who have passed away.
I set up the leaves and flowers just for the fall theme, and it fits the alter sooo.. :)

The feathers off my dead hen was for 2 reasons, 1. She's dead. 2. She was my dead grandmothers hen! Which I took under my wing after my grandmother passed away.

I added my grandmothers jewelry, 1 of her bracelets and 1 of her rings. The altar is for my ancestors, so I had to put some of their belongings. I found out that the other ring is my great grandmothers! Sadly, I only have their jewelry. I wish I could add pictures but I don't have a printer or anything of the like - I'll ask my mother if she has any pictures or could print something somewhere for me! + The 2 sheep ornaments once belonged to my grandma too

I have the bone to symbolise death. The bone is mostly likely a fox or something similair leg bone! I found it during a walk, so i kept it.

Palo santo is for cleansing negative energy and *harmful* spirits.

I have my rose quartz pendant hanging over the altar for protection and love!

The candle
is just a typical thing to have in your altar,
I added chamomile to the candle for no typical reason but it does stand for;
Protection
Purification
Luck

I was gonna add a pentagram to the altar using sticks but I didn't have any string to tie it together, though the pentagram is for protection!
