All Saints Day: The Hoodoo Way
Sunday, November 3, 2024, from 3 PM to 6 PM
Mount Auburn Cemetery, Baltimore

With each passing year, this event brings more community into the fold. We welcome you, and once welcomed, there are agreements:

Agreements:

• Come with respect for others and how they exist in their bodies. No ageism, ableism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, or any words, behaviors, or actions that would deny someone the ability to feel comfortable, seen, and upheld as a whole and worthy person.

• Enter any space we create as peacefully as you can. By doing so, you help set the intentions for the day.

• This is a sacred time and space for Black people.

• Temper your expectations. There will be altar building, prayer, and ritual, but there will not be space for individual readings, mediumship, or personal instruction.

• Participation is expected from everyone present. This is not a show or spectacle; it is a community event. We will create ways for you to participate according to your abilities and needs, but everyone is expected to contribute to the spirit of the gathering.

What to Bring:

• Offerings such as food, fruit, candy, water, liquor, or flowers. Please ensure offerings are prepared as you would consume them.

• Remove all foil, plastic wrap, sticky labels, tags, and cigarette filters/tips before bringing them. If it cannot degrade without ecological disruption, be prepared to take it away.

• Bring a song, a poem, a story, a fact, and a desire to be in community.

• Wear white. If you do not have an all-white outfit, please wear a white top and cover your head with white fabric or a white hat.

• Bring nine pennies for entry.

We hope you will join us in honoring this sacred day.
