Halloween Magick Collection @Superstitious

Halloween – October 31st 

Festa Dei Morti, Day of the Dead, Samhain, Juorno de Morti, Festival of the Dead 

The true origin and roots of Halloween have been lost in time. It is often conjectured that this ancient holiday may be linked to the Feast of Pamona, the Roman Goddess of Orchards and Fruit - as well as to Parentalia; the ancient Roman festival held in honor of the dead. 

In the Italian and Sicilian Traditions of Witchcraft the Festa Dei Morti or Festival of the Dead focuses upon ancestral devotion and commemoration. The Festival of the Dead is a sacred and holy time of remembrance, love, spiritual communion, joy and mourning. It is a time of reflection, for looking back at the last year and coming to terms With the phenomenon of which we have no control over; death. 

Witches gather to celebrate the harvest season with family and friends. We  mourn the downward spiral of life, but focus our minds and hearts on what is to come in the future. To a Witch, Halloween is a powerful festivity and not the Fearsome time that some believe it to be. It is a time to release the failures in our lives and project for a future of balance and harmony. Witches and their children often dress in clothing and costumes to project out these wishes and spiritual workings. It is also a Festival of Thanksgiving, we remember all those in the past who fought to win the freedoms we have today, many of whom paid the ultimate price of their life. We include those who were tortured and killed for the false definition and descriptions applied to Witches and Witchcraft. In remembrance, we share the knowledge gained from the past and ensure that truth and wisdom will prevail in the future. 

Halloween marks a period when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. We as witches focus our thoughts on increasing our own psychic abilities and to honor those who walk in the Spirit World. The thin veil between worlds allows us to communicate with our loved ones who have passed on and commune with them once more. We conduct rituals where we invite our deceased loved ones to take part in our celebrations. This is done by leaving food and a seat at our table so they may take part and feast with us. 

Samhain - The Witches' New Year 

Samhain, which is Irish-Gaelic for “Harvest of the Pigs” marks the Third and final harvest in the Witches' Calendar as well as the Witches' New Year. In some places, this was a time when animals were slaughtered to be eaten or preserved for future use during the depths of winter. At Samhain, Witches say farewell to the Masculine Forces of Nature; this is a temporary farewell –“for He is within the ‘Mystery” - ready to be reborn to the Goddess at Winter Solstice.
