October is a month that holds a special significance for those who practice witchcraft. It is believed to be a time when the veil between the material world and the spiritual realm is thinnest, allowing for a stronger connection to the energies and forces at play. This has led to the development of various witchcraft holidays and observances that take place during this month. One of the most well-known witchcraft holidays in October is Samhain, which is celebrated on October 31st. Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It is a time to honor and remember the ancestors, as well as to seek guidance from the spirit world.

I don t think it s necessarily because of the candy but because of all the fun events like carnivals, pumpkin patch outings and trunk-or-treats that go on this month.

DIY Witch Hat
The kids have been so excited it’s hard not to be SO excited myself. I don’t think it’s necessarily because of the candy but because of all the fun events like carnivals, pumpkin patch outings and trunk-or-treats that go on this month!!
My daughter, Lily, is especially excited to be dressing up this year and I decided to make her a cute and simple DIY Witch hat from felt. She was excited for me to make it, so I headed to Michael’s to pick up all the supplies. The best part of all was that it ended up costing just a few dollars and is the perfect addition to her witch costume. What I also love is that it’s a great piece to wear on it’s own if YOU want to be a little festive without dressing up a ton. In fact, I think I’ll be wearing it when Lily’s not looking. 😉
Here is what you’ll need to make this adorable DIY Witch Hat…
SUPPLIES:
– Black Felt (2 large pieces) – found at Michael’s
– Embellishments (spiders and crows) – found at Michael’s
– Hot glue gun and sticks
DIRECTIONS:
1. Gather all your supplies.
2. Trace a circle onto your large piece of felt (I used a plate). Cut out and cut half way through the circle.
3. Wrap the felt around until it makes a cone. Cut off the excess.
4. Cut another cirlce a little bit larger than the base of your felt cone. I used the glitter black felt that is more stiff for this.
5. Hot glue the cone to the glitter felt. I hot glued lace around the rim to make it more festive and to hide the hot glue.
6. I then hot glued some spiders and a crow to the hat.
7. From there I cut out a piece of felt (I made mine a heart just because) and hot glued it to a headband we had.
The whole project took just a half hour to do and cost just a few bucks – SCORE!!
And doesn’t Lily look adorable?! LOVE it!!
I wanted to make sure you knew about some awesome things happening at Michael’s right now…

Mabon is a time of balance, as it marks the halfway point between the summer and winter solstices. It is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest and to prepare for the coming winter months. Many witches use this holiday as an opportunity to perform rituals related to abundance, gratitude, and harmony. In addition to these specific holidays, October in general is a time when many witches focus on the themes of transformation, introspection, and shadow work. The changing leaves and cooling temperatures serve as a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and the importance of embracing change and growth. Many witches use this time to connect with their own personal power, shed old patterns and beliefs, and cultivate their intuition and psychic abilities. Overall, October holds a special place in the hearts of those who practice witchcraft. It is a time for honoring the ancestors, connecting with the spirit world, and embracing personal transformation. Whether through specific holiday observances or individual rituals and practices, witches use this month to tap into the mystical energies that surround us and to deepen their connection to the sacred and unseen..

The movie had such potential with its interesting concept of witchcraft and the October setting, but the execution fell flat. The storyline felt disjointed, and the characters were one-dimensional without any depth or development. The special effects were also subpar and didn't contribute much to the overall experience. Overall, it felt like a wasted opportunity to create a captivating and enjoyable film.
