On October 31, 2003 *Beliefnet* published an editorial by Selena Fox on her experiences as a Wiccan in rural Wisconsin. "At nightfall on October 31 we celebrate the Feast of the Dead in my household. I set a place at the kitchen table and invite our deceased loved ones and ancestors to be with us there in spirit... Later in the evening, and on several subsequent nights, I review family history materials and think about the many strands of my multi-cultural heritage from America, Native America, and Europe. Then, in meditation, I call to specific ancestors as well as my ancestors as a whole to share with me understandings about them and their cultures and eras. I also invite them to share guidance for me and my life. I reflect on and note insights and other messages that come to me in these Samhain rituals, musings, and dreams."
