How to prepare for Samhain as a traditional witch

[@annemariemoormann996]

Cool! Thank you :) I’ll make pumpkin soup and apple cider and play zombie fluxx. I think I’ll make lavender pouches and embroider them with pentacles :)

[@witchNwand]

Hope you and yours have a happy and safe samhain, Ginny Have fun✌️🎃

[@neowex2672]

Or "THE DEVIL" 💀 i was so excited about that spell 😢😂😂

[@GinnyMetheral]

Might be a bit scary seeing him....

[@jonathangauthier3549]

Aside from the usual horror movies, monster-themed music, and admiring the beautiful decorations and costumes on display; as an empath, my ideal Halloween night is spent meditating and speaking with my past loved ones - seeking guidance much like having a cuppa with one's grandparents (only that they enjoy their teas in incense/jostick form). Just a quiet evening of contemplation lit by candlelight and perhaps sharing stories with loved ones about the exploits of those who live beyond the veil

"You will see your future partner... or the Devil." XD Thank you for the tip!

[@YourRoyalMajesty.]

Tons of Love and Light to you all! May your Samhain be a beautiful one! 💖🕯️

[@PinkieJoJo]

Being in the broom closet as a Christian Witch my pentacles are simply drawn on my altar (desk) using moon water.

[@Viscount_Castlereagh]

Christian Witch?

[@fifidubois5514]

I adore your pentagram made of dried lavender. I'm going to give this a go. It's so pretty ❤

[@GramaSagefeather]

Just made a small besom with Lavender and Goldenrod stems. Every year I do new spontaneous things for honoring Samhain

[@Grace0Claire]

I have my garden and home almost done 😇🤪. I'll do it in steps, taking my time and letting my neighbors get used to my Halloween "entourage"😂 Although they should know by now... Not many in my neighborhood are doing this, so before I scare the hell out of them, I take small steps 😁 I'm too cute 😂

[@LarissaBrighidCailleach]

Hi Ginny, I love your traditions for Samhain. One thing I always do is light my lantern for the dark time of the year, it's a glass jar decorated by me with seasonal leaves 🍁🍂, red, yellow, brown, with a candle inside to keep my spirit up brilliant during this season. Furthermore, I invite my loved ones who have already left to sit at my table and I feel more comfortable. It's a snuggle time for me 🧡. Of course, I do all the traditional Halloween decorations with pumpkins, skeletons, bats, mice in the bread basket 😃and so on because I love this season and so this year I'm thinking about being a vampire witch again ... I wish you a happy and blessed Samhain 🎃!

[@donnawaldron3261]

Adore lavender, white lavender, pink lavender. I am getting tattoo of hari Krishna simble as on George Harrison last album Brainwashed. Finished posthumous by Dhani Harrison and Jeff Lynne.

[@Taiphen]

Over here I always leave some candles lit for the departed so that they might come and visit but never forget were the way back is. Happy Samhain everyone!

[@mikakestudios5891]

Carving pumpkins is probably my favorite thing. But I do also spend time putting my garden to bed. Cutting back rose branches and mulching the roots to keep away the cold, and then making syrup with the rose hips that have dried on those branches.

[@MissEliseIsTired]

Thank you for the video! I feel like the stuff that we do for Halloween is pretty normal; carve pumpkins, dress up, pass out candy for trick-or-treaters, stuff like that. We also like to watch scary movies, and visit cemeteries. If there is a haunted house I can visit, I’ll do that too.

[@pipers.167]

I am a baby witch I’ve been reading, watching and studying for the past about year and a half. I’m finally getting the confidence with your help Ginny for energy transfer spells this new year! Ty!

[@EagleOwlEril]

Thanks for this stellar dive into Samhain! As a Norse rune magician, I can't help but marvel at the parallels between this ancient Celtic end-of-harvest fest, and our venerated Álfablót! It's a beautiful reminder that regardless of our geocultural differences, the respect for ancestral spirits and the thinning veil is universal. Blessed Samhain and Skål! 🍂🔮✨

[@kimberlystanton6260]

I love your energy! I do the pumpkin carving, make pumpkin breads, make my pentacles out of vines, and I love to do a fire every Saturday night and on mischief night eve and Halloween night in October here in the USA. Enjoy the seasonal energies !

[@amandaguzman3723]

I've never made my own pentacle, and never even thought of it. Thank you for sharing, I love your videos and your energy!

[@lexidelgado1978]

Hi! I’m a fairly recent subscriber and after binge watching a few of your videos, I happened to have my very first fairy ring sighting 🎉I know for a fact it wasn’t there the day before. We usually don’t get too many mushrooms that don’t get eaten almost immediately by the fauna, and these are bright orange compared to the pale off white we usually have. Not only are they still there but they’ve started sprouting under the hedge of our front porch. I just had to say that and thank you for your videos they’re not only entertaining but very informative. Happy Spooky Season 🧙🏻‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️✨

[@JOJO_IN_3D]

Thank you, Ginny!

[@peteb7810]

Hello Ginny. Im a new wiccan and am currently preparing my altar for samhain. Thanks this really helped

[@phillipaprice7193]

I have a Halloween party every year and give trick or treaters ( of which there are plenty ) treats and their parents hot mulled cider . I make a chilli for my friends and we have apple pie after then a bit of fun divination with apples and runes . Later when our guests are gone I do my Samhain celebration myself to honour the ancestors . Thanks for you videos Ginny , always fun and inspiring. Samhain blessings to you and yours 🎃🌛🌝🌜

[@hawkiisjourney5767]

Excited to learn! Thank you for posting this!

[@helenegagnon9036]

Your energy is amazing Ginny. You're inspiring me in my spooky season preparations. Thank you !

[@BroomstickChik]

Great ideas!! Thank you for the videos!! i just recently found your channel and really am enjoying your energy! Makes me smile! Until next time!! 😊❤

[@adambradley-wilcox3063]

Wow thank you so much for the inspiration. Iv literally ( couple of weeks ) come in to exploring witchcraft, im drawn to the idea of being more in tune with nature using nature for guidance and paying more attention to the seasonal changes around us . I always feel so much joy in my heart when I’m in the lakes , wild swimming by the ocean , so this seems the next step to exploring this deep rooted good feeling inside . I will be sure to try a making a pentacle , always do a bob and pumpkin but also to enjoy a feast and leave a little outside for spirits that have no place set for them . Again thank you for you guidance :)

[@MisstressMourtisha]

Lots of love 😘 Blessings

[@selenea7788]

Dearest Ginny, your video dropped at the right time for me. Thank you. I welcome thoughts from fellow witches on connecting with my dearest brother, who passed in May this year, as I sense spirits through dreams and feelings. I always renew my pentacle each Sawhain using willow and red twine to protect me through the darkest light. My Samhain feast always has an extra space laid. A gentle note using willow? I buy willow trellis each spring, leaving it throughout the seasons until Samhain. Perhaps you could do a video on Yule aka witch balls? I start making mine early Yule. Much love from Selene xx

[@GloriousTrainWreckMom]

We have fried chicken and mashed potatoes in memory of grandfathers every year

[@mistylawrence6944]

Could you do a video about traditional witches shoes/ boots? Because I would like to know what they looked like. Also could you make a video on the history of witches hats as well? Would greatly appreciate it.

[@cwatsoncook1]

We have an “Annual Fall Opener” between Mabon and Samhain.

[@gailfairweather1515]

I like your video. I have a pumpkin on my front porch and I have a apple tree I planted I make apple pie and crisp. I gave birth on Halloween Salem to a redhead girl so bueatiful.

[@Who_asked873]

Hi Ginny! A little update on the candies I mentioned on the October calendar video. Me and my girlfriend decided on apple candies this year. There's a beautiful orchard in the nearest to us, and we're planning on going there as a date, and a preparation for Samhain. Wish us luck, we'll be very careful this year.

[@Thewitchofwildlife]

[@MagicalGirlRose319]

I'm getting things ready for Samhain and got a large pumpkin to make into a Jack o' Lantern and do a little reflection as the veil between our two worlds is at its thinnest

[@TXBRUXO]

I really like the pentegram craft, of course pumpkin carving, but the apple spell was very interesting! Never heard of that one, but I will most definitely integrate this in this year! ❤

[@rosering02]

I'd love to make a lavender pentacle for my home. I wish you a blessed Samhain.

[@vanessasmallridge3895]

This is the first year I'm making a Pentacle, I'm a baby witch and only been studying and practicing for 6 years. Absolutely loving your videos and your beautiful energy. I've just joined your pateron, very excited x I had a pentagram tattoo last year on my hand as part of a botanical alchemy symbol design. I absolutely love it, the intention was set for protection and love when it was done. I feel its energetic protection, all through my body, it's very powerful. Lastly... I too live in Devon, very rurally 😍 Blessings, enjoy your party ❤

[@ladylugosii]

I so look forward to your posts,especially the high holidays. So much information. Sending Samhain blessings to you.

[@kaiduran528]

Ooooh, Ginny! Thank you for the pentacle inspiration! I have my dried lavender stems hanging and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them but now I have an idea! Thank you! 😘

[@DarklyYours]

I don't think this is exactly a ritual, but I made a commitment to myself that Samhain is the only holiday I ask off and I will quit any job that doesn't give it to me. 🕯🍬🎃

[@BroomstickChik]

i also take off every Halloween! ❤

Hi Ginny I was wondering if I HAD to do the apple ritual. I'm kinda scared to do it because of the devil thing. I don't believe in him anymore. I'm a newbie witch and I'm taking and doing things intuitively. Love your videos!!!😊

No! You don’t have to do it at all - was a traditional divination spell and a famous one too … but scary.

[@Valerian1218]

When you say "Midnight on Halloween" do you mean one should stay up on the 30th and do the ritual as the clock strikes midnight on the 31st? Or stay up on the 31st and do it as the clock strikes midnight on the 1st?

Always make an alter for deceased loved ones. Like an ofrenda. Bless trick or treat sweets for the kids.

Maybe don’t use black for your pentagram, use white l heard somewhere black on a pentagram may not be so positive,😊✨

Of course a lot more intent goes into carving a turnip as people originally did coz it takes so blinking long 😂🤣

I thought witches didn’t believe in the devil? Isn’t that a Christian entity? Genuinely curious now.

[@GinnyMetheral]

Oh the devil is real - think of it as a demon as Devil has christian mythology over it -bit like angels which are very real, but not christian ones...

[@gaggymott9159]

The Samhain is throughly NOT the Sabbat, neither is the Pumpkin lantern the traditional symbol or light of enlightenment. Traditionally, the lanterns are traditionally produced from Turnips and other IRISH root vegetables...As for apples, YES! Most definitely!
