Celebrate October: Creating Magic Without Spells or Sorcery
2 min readOct 19, 2024
The most mystical, mysterious time of the year, when the veil between the worlds becomes too thin — so that the most inveterate skeptics shudder, peering into the dark corners. I want to tickle my nerves, to be imbued with the magical October to the fullest.
What can you do in October that is non-magical and not related to psychological and spiritual practices — but, nevertheless, wonderful? This to-do list is for your inspiration!
- Go through old photos with your family and listen to interesting stories about your ancestors
- Try a pumpkin latte
- Hang a wreath of autumn leaves and flowers (artificial or natural) on your door
- Eat a pomegranate
- Experiment with a Ouija board
- Buy warm socks or a scarf made of natural wool
- Create a magical atmosphere with the help of aromas in a diffuser or aroma lamp
- Spend a whole weekend alone, with cake, tea and your favorite collection of horror films
- Wear something orange or orange with black
- Have a fortune-telling bachelorette party with your girlfriends
- Make pumpkin soup
- Do a big autumn cleaning and ruthlessly throw out everything that you don’t use, that is outdated or that you don’t like anymore
- Make a bird feeder
- Sit by the fire
- Go to an abandoned cemetery
- Read at least one book mysticism or horror genre
- Have a candlelit dinner (and not necessarily in company)
- Make a mandala from autumn leaves
- Make mulled wine
- Have a scary story night with friends
- Donate to an animal shelter or nursing home
