It should be covered with a black table cloth and set with black dishes, black paper plates will work. However, any dark color will do. Place a chair at the head of the table to represent the spirit. Set the spirit's place with a plate. On the plate place a white votive candle. Set places for each of the dead that you hope will join you. Place black votive candles on their plates. Plates for the living are empty waiting for the food to be served.
Preparing the food
Feast can be very simple including bread, fruit, nuts, and juice or wine. However, you can make them more elaborate if you would like. If you've invited guests, make it a feast potluck.

Cast the circle and call the quarters

Feast of the Dead Light the candles on the plates of the dead and the spirit and serve the food to the living guests. Sit at your table and eat the food you have brought to it. Feel the presence of those who have joined you. Allow them to speak to you. Take as long as you wish at the table, listening to those you have invited and speaking to them. When the feast is over, thank your spirit guests for coming, bid them farewell, extinguish the candles on the plates, and leave the table.
If you want to banish bad habits or addiction this is a perfect time. Write a list of things from the last year that you want to banish like anything you do not want to carry over to the New Year. Then Light a black candle and burn the list, asking the Goddess and God to help you get rid of these and all negative things in your life. Now you should speak to the deities about those things you want to bring into your life in the New Year.
When you're done, thank and dismiss the Deities and the guardians.
And open the circle.
