Write the Dead: An Encounter with Spoon Mother
A Samhain Story + (w)rites of passage ritual
Thursday, October 30, 2025
11am - 1pm MT * Online via Zoom



At Samhain, the veil thins. The season invites us to turn towards what has passed —the ancestors, unfinished stories, voices and threads that shape us from the unseen.

Write the Dead is a communal story ritual that weaves writing, remembrance and conversation around the hearth of this turning season. It’s a space to feed what has been forgotten —through story, language, presence.

We’ll meet the Spoon Mother, an ancient archetype of the one who stirs the pot between worlds -keeper of bone and broth, nourishment and transformation, story and ancestral remembering. Through her we explore what it means to tend relationship with our ancestors and our own creative lineage.

During our time together, we’ll:

• listen for the stories rising from our lineage and the season

• write as offering —letters, spells, stories, poems, remembrances

• share stories in community as a way of feeding and being fed

• (Optional) bring a bowl, spoon, or ancestral food beside you as part of the ritual

Bring: paper, pen, candle and/or bowl; optional small offering (bread, salt, seeds, soup etc)

This is an invitation to pause inside the darker season-

to write, remember and reconnect with the continuum of life and death

and the stories that keep both alive.
