<blockquote>“Ritual connects us to what matters, to the wisdom of the ancestors, and to the mystery beyond the veil.” —Malidoma Somé</blockquote> Join Feldman’s Books in a heartfelt community ritual to honor the Dead this season. From Halloween Night through November 2nd*, we’re transforming Aidan’s grandma’s kitchen table into a shared altar, celebrating cultural traditions such as Samhain and Día de los Muertos, both of which honor those who have passed. We invite community members to bring a photo of a deceased loved one or a small symbolic offering—a flower, favorite food, or a drink—meant to honor their spirits and ease their journey. This gathering space serves as a bridge to connect with memories, celebrate lives, and share stories. *The altar will be respectfully taken down on Sunday, November 3rd. We kindly ask that community members pick up their offerings before then; any remaining food or drink will be respectfully disposed of, and photographs will be kept safe. Everyone is welcome to participate. Let’s come together in remembrance, honoring the wisdom of those who came before us, and creating a beautiful shared tribute to the ancestors.
