Ways to Celebrate Samhain

Since ancient times people have celebrated this wonderful fall holiday. However, the way it is celebrated has changed many times over the years. So how do you celebrate this spooky season?

What is Samhain?

Pronounced SAH-Wen. In case you missed it, I have a post explaining what Samhain is here. :)

How do witches and pagans celebrate?

There are many ways to celebrate this fire festival. This list consists of the ways I personally celebrate Samhain, as well as ways that are commonly practiced in the witchcraft community.

Have a bonfire! One of the more common and ancient ways is to have a bonfire with your community! This could mean your neighborhood or just you and some of your friends and family.

If you're more of an introverted type having a little hearth fire or even lighting a candle can work just as well to embody the spirit of Samhain!

Cooking and baking fall foods, especially if you use things you've harvested yourself works wonders for a Samhain celebration.

Making mulled wine or spiced cider (virgin options are just as good here).

Have a feast with the wine/cider and foods you're making! Invite your friends and family over. Remember, they don't have to witches to enjoy a good meal and some homemade BOOze.

Decorate your altar with fall items like leaves, acorns, pinecones, a cool stick, whatever calls to you!

Make a temporary altar for the Samhain celebration for offerings.

Speaking of which: Give offerings to your deities, ancestors, spirits, or other deities that are associated with the season.

If you're comfortable and experienced, talk with the dead. Whether it's your grandma or that nice ghost chilling near your home, say hello! The veil between our world and theirs is thinner this time of year. Invite them to join in on your feast. Catch them up on your life events or the latest drama!

Cleanse your space-literally and metaphysically. You don't need to do a deep clean, but taking a broom or the vacuum to your floors and dusting off your shelves is a great way to make you feel cleaner on the inside too! Take an incense, incense spray, or smoke bundle (of appropriate herbs) and use them accordingly to cleanse your house. DO NOT USE CLOSED PRACTICES OR THEIR HERBS unless you're apart of that culture. Do research on the herbs you have if you're not sure.

You can also find plenty of wonderful rituals, spells, or recipes online, just make sure you do research on herbs and practices so that you don't hurt yourself.

Practice fire safety!

If you have anything to add, please let me know, I'd love to hear how other people are celebrating Samhain this year.

A magic we can all do better with.

Don't let people tell you the "right" way to practice.

What do I mean by this? Simple. There are many ways to practice and no path or way is more right than another. I see people tell people "You have to do this, you have to do that." And tbh, I don't fuck with that. There are so many ways to practice witchcraft, they are all hella valid.

There's common stuff that you should know, like don't take part in closed practices if you are not a part of that culture/invited to do it. But other than that? Your path is whatever you make it! Your path is right because it's yours. It is ever evolving! You make your own rules! Or maybe you choose to follow some set of rules which is also valid!

The idea that you're doing something the wrong way just because it's different from others is ridiculous. Embrace your path my dears <3

~☀︎︎Tarot Readings☀︎︎~

Hi friends, due to personal reasons I’m opening up “emergency” tarot readings. Due to family drama with my partners family, we are trying to move as urgently as possible, but I am also needing to save up for a car since mine had an engine failure.

I will try to keep readings as affordable as possible, but I do need to earn a little income. I will also try to have these out as timely as possible, but I do work full-time and may try to pick up extra hours where I can.

Readings & Prices

3 card spread: $5

8 card spread: $10

BYOS (bring your own spread) essentially I’ll do a reading with the spread of your choosing: $10

Detailed & personalized reading: $15

Deity Reading: $20

How it works

You may feel free to message me here or email me (contact info below). After we have our initial consultation and payment is received, I will send you your reading, depending on what you choose! When you message/email me, I just ask you please include your name, what reading you would like, if you would like a certain spread, and anything else you may need me to know. If you have a particular focus or question, please include that! Feel free to ask any questions after I send you the reading, I do not mind explaining! All readings will be sent via message or email. However you choose to contact me will be how I send your reading.

Payment

Please send payments through cashapp or venmo.

Cashapp: $smallplum

Venmo: small-plum

Tips are also greatly appreciated. If you choose to not want a reading, but would still like to help me out, that is also greatly appreciated. If you are not satisfied with your reading, please feel free to discuss this with me. I do not mind re-doing a reading if you feel it does not resonate with you. I will however charge a 2$ re-do fee, as tarot readings do take up energy and time. I hope you understand! I look forward to reading for you! Blessed be ♡︎
