The hostess will now enter the sacred room, bless it, sage it, and call upon the Goddess to join. , And as they pass the altar to light one candle in honor of their loved one, have them approach the Goddess seat and in silent mind, thank her for being with them.
They may now take a seat. , Supper is eaten in total silence. , Go to the Goddess chair and thank her once again, in silent mind for attending.
