I used three of the prompts from my November offerings list : Shadow, Liminal and Mystery and combined them to fill in a 7 line prompt from @k8belew to come up with this offering for my ancestors. 🤍

The Title: Shadows, Veils
Line 1: “Listening ” Line 2: “Being _____“
Line 3: “A candle in _“
Line 4: In this line speak about the veil
Line 5:”I danced _“
Line 6: “Off “
Line 7: “I know _“

It was placed on their altar on Samhain where it will stay until tomorrow when I will be burned and released with the rest of the ancestral table offerings into our family bonfire.
