A Guide to the Witches' Season of the DeadWithin the House of Witchcraft tradition, our Season of the Dead is from Oct. 1- Nov. Full Moon. We need a time to mourn, celebrate, heal, learn from and with the Dead in our lives. We also need time to send healing energies for all of those recently passed and ask for gentle, safe journeys. We, Witches are all some type of a healer, whether for ourselves or others; let each Season of the Dead guide you in what is required in that moment. "The Dead" are, obviously, the spirits of deceased human beings, which are fantastic repositories of knowledge and power, especially those we are related to. Relations can be by Ancestral, or they can be chosen by personal interest, occupation, practice, art, or interest.Chapters Why & How++Altars & Offerings to the Dead++Ritual for the Dead++Talkin' with the Dead++Herbs, Plants, Resins of the Dead++Herbal Incense Offerings for the Dead++Herbal Tea Recipes for the Living++Spiritual Baths for the Living++Home Protection SkullTaren S stood in her first magickal circle at 17 yrs. old in the backwoods of North Carolina with a coven of Southern conjuring Witches.
