Halloween Rituals and Spells Guide
The Real Meaning of Halloween
Halloween (or "Samhain" as the Pagans would call it) has been celebrated
in Britain for centuries, but has taken off, particularly in the US, as
a family friendly festival incorporating a Trick or Treat escapade
where children dress up and pass around the neighborhood trading good
behaviour for a treat in the form of candy.
Halloween however, is
a very important date in the Pagan calendar, for it marks the Feast of
the Dead. Many Pagans also celebrate it as the old Celtic New Year.

According
to Pagan Celtic traditions, it was the time of year when the veils
between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be at their
thinnest. When the spirits of the dead could most readily mingle with
the living once again.
Although skeletal costumes and regalia
associated with ghouls, zombies and vampires are popular choices for
children terrifying neighborhoods throughout the western world, for
Pagans death is not a thing to be feared.
Rather, loved ones who
have recently died are remembered and their spirits often invited to
join the living in the celebratory feast. It is also a time at which
those born during the past year are formally welcomed into the
community.
Death also symbolizes endings and Samhain is
therefore not only a time for reflecting on mortality, but also on the
passing of relationships, jobs and other significant changes in life. A
time for taking stock of the past and coming to terms with it, in order
to move on and look forward to the future.
So, Samhain is a time
to remember those who have left us. This is a time to remember our
ancestors, both ancient and wise. This is the time when the barriers
between our world and the next become blurred, and those from the other
side are free to visit our world, as well as guide us.
This is a
time for reflection, to look back over the past year. A time to come to
terms with the one great phenomenon of life in which we have no control
of - Death.
This is also a time to let old habits die and to
meditate on who we wish to become. The Winter months are months to muse
inward, seeking one's Self. Spend this time in your studies, calm
meditations and gentle reverie so that, come spring, you may rise
renewed, rejuvenated, fresh and whole.
Why is Magic so Potent at Halloween?
Hallowe'en, as the traditional Celtic New Year's Eve, is the beginning
of the coming year and of the future. As such, the Horned or antlered
God, who in Celtic Tradition is viewed as the divine male principality,
being both equal and opposite to the Goddess, must depart the physical
world and reside in the land of spirits and waiting souls. Before
departing, this is the last opportunity he will have to perform this
greatest of all Magics. His departure at Halloween is very dramatic and
powerful as it opens the gates of the entire Netherworld for a brief
period thus rendering Samhain a period of awe for all who have the
senses to feel it.
Pagans use this time to tap into the Power
that is unleashed, greater than any other in the year, greater even than
the Blue Moon!
Halloween Magic You Can Do Yourself
Make Halloween a night of simple, real magic. Below are easy rituals you can do at home with everyday items. Use what you have. Keep it safe. Trust your intention.
Set the Space: Quick Cleanse and Welcome
- What you need: a small bowl of water, a pinch of sea salt, one tealight.
- Do this: Mix a tiny pinch of salt into the water. Walk clockwise round your space and flick a few drops into the air. Say, “I clear what is heavy. I invite what is kind.” Light the tealight. Place it where you will work.
Ancestor Candle: Honor and Receive
- What you need: white candle, small plate, a photo or a name written on paper, a small food or drink offering.
- Do this: Place the photo or name under the candle plate. Light the candle and say, “Loved ones, I remember you. Guide me with care.” Sit in quiet for three minutes. Note any gentle thought that arrives. Leave the small offering beside the candle. Extinguish when you are done.
Pumpkin Prosperity Bowl
- What you need: a small pumpkin or bowl, a coin, three bay leaves, a spoon of rice or lentils.
- Do this: Place rice or lentils in the pumpkin or bowl. Add the coin. Tuck in the bay leaves. Say, “Right doors open. Right money flows.” Keep it near your front door for seven days, then give the grains back to nature.
Doorway Protection Line
- What you need: sea salt, black pepper.
- Do this: Mix a teaspoon of salt with a pinch of pepper. Sprinkle a thin line just inside the front door. Say, “Only what serves me enters.” Sweep it up in the morning and bin it.
Bay Leaf Wish and Release
- What you need: one bay leaf, a pen, a heat-safe dish, a lighter or match.
- Do this: Write one clear wish on the bay leaf. Hold it. See the end result in your mind. Burn the leaf in the dish. As it turns to ash, say, “So it is set.” Tap the cool ash into the soil of a plant.
Cord Cut and Reset (for ties you have outgrown)
- What you need: a length of plain thread, scissors.
- Do this: Hold the thread and name the tie you are ready to release. Say, “I keep the lesson. I release the grip.” Cut the thread cleanly. Bin both pieces. Wash your hands in cool water.
Mirror or Water Scrying: A Message for You
- What you need: a mirror or a bowl of water, one candle.
- Do this: Place the candle so its light reflects on the surface. Soften your gaze and breathe slow for two minutes. Ask one question. Watch for a word, image, or feeling. Write down the first gentle answer. Thank the guidance.
Sweetening Jar for Harmony
- What you need: a small jar, sugar or honey, a slip of paper with names (yours and another, or “home and peace”).
- Do this: Place the names in the jar. Cover with sugar or honey. Say, “Words soften. Kindness grows.” Seal the jar. Give it a small shake each day for a week.
Night Bath or Foot Soak: Clear and Calm
- What you need: warm water, a handful of salt, two drops of lavender or a squeeze of lemon.
- Do this: Dissolve salt and scent in the bath or a bowl for a foot soak. As you soak, say, “I release the day. I keep my strength.” Let the water drain away. Picture strain leaving with it.
Wish Paper to the Cauldron (or Pot)
- What you need: heat-safe pot, small paper, pen, candle.
- Do this: Write one clear goal in present tense. Fold the paper once toward you. Burn it in the pot using the candle flame. When cool, bury the ash in soil.
Safety
- Never leave flames unattended.
- If you feel overwhelmed, stop, breathe, and ground by touching something solid, like a table or the floor.
If you prefer me to cast a focused Halloween Spell for you, I can do that for you with care and full attention.
Black Cats! – Lucky or Unlucky?
Black cats are famous as the witch's loyal companion or familiar. As
such they often feature in Halloween symbolism. Many cultures around the
world regard Black Cats as lucky omens, while others avoid them like
the plague, fearing that if they cross your path, bad luck will befall
you.
Which is it – lucky or unlucky?
More Things to do to Celebrate Halloween and Invoke the Magic!
Predicting Your Future at Halloween
Divination (or seeking knowledge about what the future holds) are
traditional at Samhain to foretell the coming year's, challenges and
gifts. At this time of the year those that seek to predict or foretell
the future are believed to be at their most accurate, as the veil
between worlds is so thin.
Divining by fire is popular and you
can use either a candle flame or a fireplace. If you use a candle, the color purple is a good choice. Light the candle and begin gazing at the
flame, quiet your breath and center your energies and body. Begin
playing with the flame mentally, establishing your connection.
Watch
the flame grow taller, flicker and flatten. Watch it wave wildly then
quiet it. Once you have your connection, unfocus your eyes slightly, and
ask a yes or no question. If the flame grows taller, your answer is
yes, if it flattens the answer is no.
Using your fireplace allows
you to see pictures in the dancing flames that answer your questions.
Again quieten your breathing and center yourself. Gaze into the flames
and slightly unfocus your eyes. Ask your question and watch the flames
play with each other as they form pictures and as the embers glow and
wink out forms and numbers to give you your answer.
Protecting Yourself at Halloween
There are things you can do to protect yourself at Halloween with great effect.
Light
candles and place them in a safe place facing a window to protect your
home and light the way home spiritually for those you love who may be
far away. Burn from dusk until midnight on Halloween.
Place a clove of garlic on a west-facing window, saying: "May only good enter here."
Leave
the favorite foods, flowers and photographs of deceased family members
at the family hearth or a focal place in the home. Cook
great-grandmother’s favorite recipes and retell the family legends,
especially to younger members of the family.
Create eight holes
instead of a face around a pumpkin and place a candle inside. Peer
through each hole to see into other dimensions and receive wisdom.
Gaze into a fire or candle and allow images of past worlds and maybe past lives to emerge spontaneously.
I do hope you have a joyous Halloween and that you receive Peace and all you wish to have in your Life!
