Mourning Tea

Melinda’s Enchanted Cottage presents our annual Mourning Tea.

On one of the most mysterious nights of the year, when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, witches gather to celebrate the lives of those loved ones who have crossed over to the spirit world.

Join Melinda’s Enchanted Cottage in grand Victorian tradition as we celebrate your dearly departed during  a three course High Tea.  Harken back to the lush and extravagant mourning traditions of the Victorian era….when it was custom to wear black for a year, locks of hair were carried around as tribute to those who had past and somber music filled the air in celebration and remembrance of the deceased.

Don your finest mourning attire, celebrate the lives of your loved ones through stories, photos, poetry and memories.  Add mementos to our witches book of the dead, immortalize your loved one with this special tribute, receive message in the tea leaves with one of our readers and enjoy an elegant afternoon of high tea.
