In this witchy vlog, I am showing you another day in the life of a witch - and specifically how I prepare for Samhain. Samhain is the third harvest festival on the pagan wheel of the year and it is also titled the Witches' new year. Most people celebrate it on the 31st of October, together with Halloween - but historic finds suggest that Samhain, as a lunar festival, is actually celebrated during the 11th new moon after the winter solstice. In this vlog I show you how I decorate for Samhain and maybe that can give you some ideas for your Samhain altar decoration- Being a green witch, I try to stay away from plastic decoration or anything that screams Halloween too much but I love to decorate with natural and sustainable options: colorful leaves, pumpkins, berries and nuts found on my autumn walks in the forest. As Samhain is a day to honor our ancestors, I will be doing an (admittedly) scary treasure hunt in the old, abandoned stables on our property, where my ancestors have stored their belongings throughout centuries. Let´s see what I can find and give new use and live! After that, we are taking a little break and enjoying a beautiful fall day - admiring the golden autumn sun and the brightly colored autumn leaves. During the walk, we will collect some birch twigs from which I will make a besom (witch's broom) later in the evening. As Samhain also marks the end of the Celtic pagan year and the beginning of a new cycle of the wheel of the year, it is an ideal time to get rid of old, stale, and negative energy - and a besom is a perfect tool to cleanse and purify your witchy cottage or ritual space. I will also share one of my favorite fall recipes with you: Coconut, Ginger, and pumpkin soup with freshly baked pumpkin dinner rolls. And then I will give you some fun facts about besoms and a DIY witch's broom tutorial. Throughout the vlog, I will give you some more information on what Samhain is, provide ideas on how to celebrate Samhain, and take you along through a wonderfully relaxing day.
