I thought I’d share a few things to do this season of the witch. You can customise it to suit you and your lifestyle.
1, Set up your altar, add photos of ancestors, loved pets and add their favourite things, if you don’t have these things, add nature on the fireplace, pumpkins, candles, leaves and chestnuts.
2, Buy at least one witchy, gothic item or outfit. Anyone who knows me knows this is when my wardrobe is added too, not just for Halloween but they are my day to day clothes too.
3, Colour your hair, mystical purple, or spooky green, or add false nails with a spooky theme.
4, Gather up spooky movies, Halloween themed, ghost and ghoul too. We are doing 1 film for each day.
5, Get back into your Magickal practise if you’ve been neglecting it, tarot is a perfect place to start.
6, Freshen up your Book of Shadows or start one.
7, Buy a witches brew mug (I may or may not have one 😉😉 add pumpkin spice to cappuccino sachets.
8, Light a fire in the garden, we have a cauldron to do this in, write down what you’d like to release and burn it.
