A patch of the jack-o’-lantern design from the opening credits of Halloween (1978) from TheVultures on Etsy.

Death’s head tombstone patch from Bookimi on Etsy. I love the death’s head symbol. It has been a long time since I visited Boston but I enjoyed seeing them in the historic cemeteries.

One of the films I used to regularly watch during Halloween, The Others, is now part of the Criterion Collection. I haven’t watched it in a while. A very well done film. I forgot how sad it is.

‪Halloween Celebration - Day 18‬

‪Queen of Cups patch from RainbowDistribution on Etsy. Tarot, not necessarily related to Halloween in general but a way to stay a bit witchy year long. I use it as a self care tool. The cups suit is my favorite, the emotions. ‬

I was doing some cleaning recently and found this CD case. I still remember the year my mom and I bought it on a Halloween shopping run and decorating the house afterward with it playing. Thinking of my mom who loved Halloween.

Since I’m interested in tarot, oracle cards and kitchen witchery, I was happy to find a recipe in the guidebook for Seasons of the Witch: Samhain Oracle. The Spiced Pumpkin Cake is quite tasty, especially the cream cheese frosting with orange zest.

Tonight I made Mrs. Dennison’s Roasted Pumpkin Tacos from Hocus Pocus: The Official Cookbook. I made them with butternut squash. They are excellent! I definitely want to make them again. (One broke, so the inside is visible.)

Jack-o’-lantern patches by RainbowDistribution on Etsy. Both of these are center on the back of my jacket and hoodie. For me, the jack-o’-lantern is the icon of the holiday and I wanted it to be prominent.
