  • I try to add as many traditional elements to my Halloween as possible. Being a festival with so many ancient roots I find partaking of historical fare to be a powerful connection to the ancestors. Here are some traditional Halloween foods you might think about making! . SOUL CAKES: Spiced biscuits marked with a cross which date back to the Middle Ages, they were given to children and the poor in return for prayers for the dead. The custom of going door to door to receive soul cakes was known as souling, thought to be a precursor to today's trick or treating. . COLCANNON: An Irish dish of mashed potatoes, butter, milk and cabbage. It was a Halloween tradition to serve Colcannon which contained a hidden ring and sometimes coins, bestowing good fortune on the person who found one in their serving. . BARMBRACK: Translating to speckled bread, this fruit loaf is once again of Irish origin, and would have special tokens added to the mix on Halloween. Usually including a coin for wealth, a ring for marriage, a thimble for spinsterhood, a matchstick for an unhappy marriage and a piece of cloth for poverty. . TOFFEE APPLES: Halloween is a time to enjoy the fruits of the recent harvest; apples themselves have otherworldly connections, they were offered as food for the dead and to the faeries, and connected to magical places such as Avalon (Isle of Apples) and of course apples have been used in Halloween games and divination rites for hundreds of years. 🎃 What traditional elements will you be adding to your Halloween? . #halloween #soulcakes #soulcake #medieval #middleages #history #tradition #trafitionalfood #customs #british #irish #allhallows #samhain #october #colcannon #barmbrack #witch #witchcraft #candyapples #witchesofinstagram #magic #fairies #ghosts #spookyseason

  • You go on ahead, I'm fine just here... . This is about 30 minutes after eating a Forest Fayerie truffle made by the talented @emporiumblack13 and kindly gifted to me by @hexxrexx ✨ I went to the woods just to wander and forage for toadstools. I found I had more energy than usual, and the woods beckoned me further and further to unexplored parts. I meditated for a while under this tree, and felt a part of all that was around me. In a wonderful haze I walked further on and came upon a running stream. I took my shoes off and dipped my feet in the icy water. I felt at home, and didn't want to leave. In the end I had to go, and on the very edge of the wood was a solitary fly agaric mushroom waiting for me 🍄 . #woods #woodland #forest #fungi #forage #mushroom #toadstool #wanderlust #trees #autumn #october #baneful #emporiumblack13 #flyagaric #mandrake #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #tradcraft #nature #pagan #heathen #relaxed
  • New to Ye Olde Witchcraft Shoppe for Halloween, dream pillows stuffed with lavender and chamomile for a restful sleep ✨ . Printed with a Medieval woodcut of a witches sabbat. Though the discerning witch may notice some subtle changes I've made to the image. There are more pointy hats, more smiley faces, and a little pumpkin on the table! Can you spot any more? 😉 . #yeoldewitchcraftshoppe #medieval #woodcut #medievalwoodcut #dream #pillow #dreampillow #herbs #lavender #chamomile #sabbat #devil #halloween #samhain #pumpkin #witch #witches #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #tradcraft #traditionalwitchcraft #crystals

  • The hearth fire was the heart of the home, a place of warmth, food and companionship. I have many good childhood memories sitting by the open fire, throwing on banana skins to hear them squeal, and watching letters to Father Christmas fly up the chimney. Now most chimneys stand with no purpose, blocked up from within. Perhaps this would be a comfort to folk of the past, who thought of chimneys as a gateway, open to the night sky and to evil spirits and witches. This is why so many protection charms are found under the hearth stone or bricked up in the chimney, witches bottles, dried up hearts stuck with pins, mummified cats etc. have been found in numerous old houses in these places. It's strange to think that the fire place is now basically obsolete, and houses are being built all the time now without chimneys, it makes me a little sad, I suppose. . #castleton #derbyshire #peakdistrict #chimney #hearth #fire #fireplace #oldhouses #witches #spirits #ghosts #protection #history #folklore #witch #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #photography #britishfolklore #apotropaic
