• Craft pumpkin with hollow interior OR real pumpkin carved in desired shape
• Gourds, small pumpkins, and squash
• Black and orange candles
• Black treat bowl
• Candy corn

Directions:

All sorts of seasonal decorations are available in regular shops this time of year! Any can be incorporated into a festive display, but here is a good suggestion: Use the black bowl, filled with candy corn, to place the hollowed-out pumpkin (real or fake) into. Place black and orange candles (any number and combination) on either side. Place gourds and other seasonal plants around and in front of the bowl.

Ritual use:

Ancestors can be remembered and their pictures and keepsakes can be put inside the pumpkin, provided it is either fake or the artifacts are protected.
