It was the celebration of the fall harvest, but it was also the night of the dead, where the spirits could cross over and visit the living.
I’ve never seen a spirit, but some people say they have.
I enjoy making my favorite holiday brew; a gallon cider fermented with a handful of wormwood, three pumpkin flowers and of course, yeast.
Then there’s the insence that I love so well, wormwood mixed with moon flower, AKA jimsonweed. As a mild insence it is not a powerful hallucinogenic. It just gives a mild head buzz.
Anyway, just sit in a graveyard and put a circle of pumpkin heads (plastic will work or even some other material) around you with black candles in them, burn a mixture of moonflower, yew and wormwood and if you sit there ½ an hour and wait, you might see a spirit or two – especially if you are in the graveyard at midnight on Halloween, that is the high time of magic.
