Halloween is also known as Samhain (pronounced Sow-en). It’s a time of great power for witches as it is the time when the veil between this world and the spirit world is at its thinnest. It’s a great time to work powerful magic and to contact the spirit realm. Below are some great ideas to harness the magic of the witchy season.

Books

What witch doesn’t love a good witchy book? This book is from Llewellyn’s Sabbat Essentials Collection and is focused on the Rituals, Recipes and Lore of Halloween. And then to really get you in the mood, the Season of the Witch Coloring book is great way to relax and enjoy the pumpkin spice season.

Home Protection

Witch bells are a great way to add some decorative protection to your home. During Halloween, if you’re giving out candy, having some witch bells around your door to prevent negative energy from entering your home is a must. Below is a great kit to create your own Witch Bell decor for your own home.

Divination

Runes and Oracle Cards are a great way to take advantage of the strong energies around us on Halloween. Use these methods of divination to get answers when the connection to the Universe is strongest.

Spirit Contact

Halloween is the time when the veil is the thinnest, which means it’s a great time to contact the other side. Ouija boards may have gotten a scary rep in the media, but they’re still a viable option for contacting spirits. Pendulums are another great way to harness your own energy to receive messages.

Altar Decorations and Setup

Because Halloween is such a great time to work magic, having a fully stocked altar is a great idea. If you don’t already have an altar set up or need to restock on some spell ingredients, this Altar starter kit is a great option.
