Recap of my strange, busy, successful Halloween.
This year I did more on Halloween than any other year, at least in variety and number of spells. It was great and made it feel like a true holiday, like I didn’t miss out. Here’s what happened.
- I tried a true love vision mirror spell. It didn’t work, or do anything at all, but I enjoy the adventure of trying new magic that I read. Even failures encourage me.
- I made a candle to represent my ancestors and venerate them.
- I held a Red Meal for my ancestors. We had soft brown rolls, massive grapes, and cranberry-pomegranate-apple juice with some vodka in it. When I had my share, one bite of each and one sip, I was flooded as if rushed by the alcohol. It couldn’t be that; I have a good tolerance and there was hardly any. I felt them with me, in my heart, burning out the bad and raising me up to the good. I felt wild.
- After the day was out, I put the remaining offerings outside and poured out the drink, all as an offering to the ancestors and the local spirits. My dog found the bread, despite my efforts, and ate it right in front of me. Now my whole family back to the dawn of time has had their food stolen by my dog. Thanks, you naughty dog.
- I created a powerful enchantment on an item, strong enough that it got hot and “burned” my finger. Very encouraging!
- At midnight I created a knot magic charm anchored to my altar, and I look forward to seeing what it will bring me when I wear it!
- I left out a bowl of milk for the cat-sith. Something drank the entire thing. My dog definitely could not get to it, no question, so I am assuming it was the cat-sith.
What a day. I need to sleep. Good night, good night. Happy new year.
