Go to a quite place and set up an altar with four candles- white, red, gold and black. Have a red jar with a candle in it beside them and some incense. Place bread and wine upon the altar.

Kneel before the altar and light the white candle:
This I light for the Maiden's purity

Light the red:
This I light for the fruitfulness of the Mother

Light the gold:
This I light for the power of the Queen

Light the black
This I light for the wisdom of the Crone.

Light the incense and lantern:
These do I light in honour of the Horned God who dwells in this season as Lord of the Dead.

On this, the sacred night of Samhain, do I build this temple in honour of the Lord and Lady.

This is a time that is not a time, in a place that is not a place, on a day that is not a day, between the worlds and beyond.

Now you can speak about the season, meditate, perform a pathworking, or acts of divination.

When you have finished place your hands over the bread and wine:
For this bread and wine, do I ask the blessings of the Lady, and I do ask the blessings of the Horned One who guards the portals of the Worlds.

Take the bread:
May I, and those I love, have sufficiency and good health.[eat]

Take the cup and say:
May out spirits be strong. [Drink].

By the Goddess and the Horned God, so mote it be.

Dance, music and poetry may follow. To close, put out the candles:
Though these flames of the material world be darkened, they shall ever burn in the worlds beyond. This rite is ended. Blessed be.
