Do you wish to dine with Dr. Dee, Madame Blavatsky and Mamzelle Marie Laveau?Invite them? Perhaps you’d rather share a meal with your late great-grandmother. Invite her,,, too? Dumb Suppers are ritual meals enacted with between living and the dead. “Dumb” indicates not lack of intelligence but that these meals(and any communication) are conducted in silence. While the dead are formally invited to attend, all cooking and serving is done by the living. Although a dumb supper may be served at any time, traditionally they are scheduled to coincide with Halloween the time of year when the veil between realms is thinnest. Extend specific invitations or allow yourself to be surprised by who shows up.
