Samhain is less than a week away and if you still have no idea how you want to celebrate the holiday, or you need to do something small because you are still in the broom closet, I have a few ideas to get you started.
Do a short tarot reading/rune pull - Since Samhain is the time of year that we typically consider the easiest to get in touch with the spirit world, it is a great time to do a little divination. So grab those runes or your favorite tarot deck, and find some time to do a quick reading for yourself.
Not sure what to ask? Since Samhain is the Witches' New Year, consider asking for advice for the year ahead or for guidance on how to proceed in a particular area you want to focus on.
Have a bonfire - As one of the Celtic fire festivals, bonfires are quite common on Samhain. Consider inviting a few friends over, share some treats and wine (responsibly), and be sure to set some aside for as an offering.
Do a small banishing spell - No one wants to take unnecessary baggage or negativity into the new year. Write down anything that no longer serves you (bad habits, small mindsets, etc) on a piece of paper. Then, light the paper on fire (fire safety is always important, folks). As it burns, visualize the thing on the paper leaving you and then scatter the ashes, if possible.
Decorate your altar with photos of loved ones no longer with us - Like I previously mentioned, Samhain is the perfect time of year to connect to the spirit world. Consider decorating your altar with photos of loved ones and beloved pets that are no longer with us, with flowers, candles, and other reminders of them.
Regardless of how you choose to celebrate, I hope you all have a blessed and relaxing Samhain!
