Ancestor Altar Set | Black Obsidian Crystal Skull, Samhain Herbs & Guided Ritual
Remember. Honor. Connect.
The Grey Moon Goddess Ancestor Altar Set was thoughtfully created to help you build a meaningful space for remembering and honoring those who came before you.
At the heart of the set is a beautiful 3-inch Black Obsidian Crystal Skull carved with butterflies, accompanied by Selenite, candlelight, a picture holder, a Wisdom Word Stone, and our handcrafted Samhain Loose Herb Blend.
