Samhain
Translates into end of summer
Also known as -Halloween ,Devils night and the Witches New Year
It is the time of year when the veil between worlds is the thinnest making it easier to connect with the dead .
Rituals from a solitary witches view-
A dumb supper - Dumb supper traditions - I always set a place with food for the person who passed with flowers and candles and sometimes a note ( this applies to animals too)
Not Everyone does everything the same Take the tradition and make it your own, To each his/her own
Lighting a candle - Its simple Just a light a candle of any type,shape or size. I normally let it burn til Mid night (12:01 ) you can say some words or make a small alter with flowers and something meaningful.
Please remember to practice good fire safety when burning candles do not leave them unattended and if you become tired please blow them out (your loved one/ones will understand)
As always its the intentions and belief you have that makes everything work
And just for fun the story of the Jack O' Lantern
Like Music you hear? - find it Here under Carnival of Lost Souls along with other great Music!

Episode 1- The ladybug obsession
Episode 1- The ladybug obsession
Knitting- super short simple socks rav link
I also casted on Otto from this book which if you are a toy knitter you will love this book ! |
Spinning-
Not what I expected. |
5+ hours a working wheel (with ladybugs) |
(left) The unspinable dog hair and the lovely merino (right) both came as a gift with the wheel |
My sad attempt at plying that is 3 different piles |
Money spells and charms
money incense
money floor wash
money soap
money dolls
money oils
money powered (not recommended)
money sachets
How to section-
First you will need a small bag whether you make it yourself or buy one is fine ,something the size of a charm bag will be perfect if you are making it (looking at it from a knitting perspective ) something the size of a soap bag is good green would be the ideal color since it is dealing with money
you will need patchouli 4 parts (if you cannot find the herb the oil will work)
clove 2 parts
cinnamon 1 part
mix all these together and place in the bag carry the bag in your purse, keep it in your car , in your dresser drawer to attract money to you.
Money oil
patchouli 7 drops
cedar wood 5 drops
vertivet 4 drops
ginger 2 drops
Mix as the recipe says or until you feel comfortable with what you have made
Money oil it normally used by rubbing it on your hands or anointing candles and letting them burn for seven days to draw money
another way which I have used this oil is to put it on the money let it dry then spend it, it always returns in the amount first spent or and an amount divisible by that (such a $5, 10, 15, 25 and so on)
Please remember that these things do not happen over night and that you have to have belief that it will work and that if they do not then there is some reason, such as it was not meant to be ( some people do get to greedy) or its just not the right time for it work.
