Outside:
Light a bonfire at night with friends
Carve or decorate a pumpkin (maybe with astrology!)
Visit a cemetery and leave an offering for the dead
Harvest the last of your herbs before winter
Appreciate the autumn season by collecting colored leaves
In the Home:
Decorate with apple tea light votives
Tell stories with loved ones about those who have passed
Make fall candles to light up the coming winter
Burn incense scented with pine, myrrh or cinnamon
Knit or crochet scarves and hats for the coming winter
In the Kitchen:
Bake a classic pumpkin pie and draw sigils in the crust
Make traditional Samhain soul cakes
Prepare homemade apple cider and bless it for healing and health
Make seasonal comfort foods and spicy teas
In the Bath:
Bathe in a mixture of allspice, sage, and mugwort* for a ritual bath
Take a lazy witch Halloween LUSH bath
Banish negativity (and dead skin) with a DIY fall scented body scrub or cute little sugar scrub cubes
On your Altar:
Decorate with symbols of death like scythes or bones
Add personal items of passed loved ones or their pictures
Represent the seasonal harvest with foods like pumpkins, apples, dark bread, and ears of corn
Use colors like black, red, orange, brown, and deep purple
Incorporate black obsidian, smoky quartz, amber, or fossils
*Note: Mugwort should NOT be used by those who are pregnant or nursing
