Nevermore Week Day 7 - Trick or Treat
Sorry for the late post but things have been so hectic on my end but I finally managed to draw Lenore and Annabel together, as Romeo and Juliet! They'll tell their respective groups that it was a coincidence and not to look too closely at them reaching for the last soul cake on the tray while exchanging meaningful eye contact. It's nothing, promise.
I hope everyone had a great Halloween and an awesome October!

Blessed Samhain!
Samhain happens on the 31st of October and marks the last harvest (which means the 3rd). It also celebrates the end of this year before we go into winter.
Samhain is considered as the end of the year for some witches. In fact, Samhain is the last sabbat on the wheel of the year!
Halloween's spookiness is not a random feeling: it is said that on the 31st, the veil between our world and the other is at its thinnest. That means that contacting spirits and passed loved ones will be easier! If you're sensitive to paranormal activity, you might get more ghostly visitors.
And since we are more in touch with the other world, divination tools might give more/clearer answers.
How to celebrate Samhain?
Orange, black, red and purple are really great colors for Samhain! Wear them, paint them on your nails, whatever you want to do!
Crystals for Samhain could be smoky quartz, obsidian, carnelian, bloodstone, onyx and amethyst. Of course, if you don't have any of them, don't panic! You can also wear/use crystals that have something to do with Samhain's colors, or just go with your guts! If you feel like wearing a crystal that has nothing to do with Samhain, go for it!
For food, think in-season veggies like squash, or soups. Apples and soul cakes are a great idea, but most importantly… PUMPKINS! Pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffin, pumpkin seeds, anything with pumpkin is a great idea!
I personnally made amazing pumpkin muffins that I bake every year with my mom, but also baked delicious pumpkin seeds and amazing soul cakes. I took this recipe from @halloween-pumpkin-queen and added wiccantips' and wiccancuisine's honey and butter mix on top of the cakes!
Activities
You can keep the pumpkin you used for recipes to carve it: it's a great activity for Samhain!
Any divination tool is also great! Get in touch with the other side (in safe ways!) and take some time to yourself to focus on more spiritual things instead of work, school, and other things that might suck out all our energy.
Putting yourself in the spooky mood, like watching Halloween movies, or going for a cozier view of it, with wine or cider and a nice blanket after going to take a walk outside.
Appreciate the autumn colors! They'll be gone soon
Think about all your loved ones who passed away (or ancestors you never met but respect). This is, afterall, the time of year when the veil between worlds is the thinnest.
Anyway, Blessed Samhain everyone! Stay safe and enjoy the end of this spooky, but beautiful month

The Watersons - Souling Song (1965)
This is a particularly eerie version of a very old song indeed. On All Souls’ Day in medieval times, children and poor people would process from door to door in search of food and money, for which they would offer a song or a prayer. The custom was called souling, and seems related to various mumming and guising rituals of the autumn and winter. There’s a wonderful article about the song here, with versions various musicians have recorded in the past sixty years.

My interest in the custom of souling comes around on this blog every year, but this version of the old Souling Song is particularly lovely, and it's part of a project called Halloween Carols which I think many of you will appreciate. Enjoy!
