Halloween is a holiday that is known for its spooky and mystical themes. One of the most popular symbols of Halloween is the witch. The image of a witch flying on a broomstick or stirring a cauldron has become synonymous with this holiday. Swinging witches are a unique and creative way to incorporate the Halloween spirit into your decor. These decorations often feature a witch doll hanging from a string or rope, swinging back and forth. They can be hung indoors or outdoors, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to any space.
“Exactly,” she said. “The house is right across from an elementary school is it not?”
As time moved on, many of the plants once thought magical or occult became a part of everyday living, and found their way into cottage gardens, where people grew many of the staples needed for life. A moon garden, full of night blooming plants is not only beautiful to look at, but many of specimens put off intoxicating fragrances as the sun sets and night closes in.
They can be hung indoors or outdoors, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to any space. Swinging witches are not only visually captivating, but they also add an element of movement to your Halloween display. As they sway in the breeze, they create a dynamic and captivating focal point.
10 Magickal Plants to Grow Indoors
Last week I wrote a post about the garden I have in my apartment patio and you guys loved it! I’ll be honest, I was a little surprised by how many views and comments that post already has. So I’ve decided to expand the post into a series focused on feeling magickal in a small living space.
As a companion to my patio garden, I thought I’d start off with a little indoor gardening since I know a lot of you who live in apartments and cities don’t necessarily have more than a windowsill to hold your gardens. First, I’m going to give you a tour of my indoor plants and then we’ll discuss magickal houseplants you can grow too!
Indoor Garden Tour
Now, I don’t have as many indoor plants as I would like because my apartment gets very little direct sunlight. It’s nice and bright but with almost entirely East facing windows in the whole house (with the exception of one North facing), there’s not a lot of light getting into the nooks and crannies.
However, I do like to have some greenery around so I have this little trooper on the kitchen table:
I bought the spider plant to sit on the end of a tall cabinet but it very nearly shriveled up and died from the lack of sunlight. Once we finally moved it to the window, voila! It almost immediately sprouted babies.
The only plant in the house that doesn’t seem to mind the lack of direct sunlight is the succulent we have over the kitchen sink. I had a few tiny succulents and decided it was a great idea to plant one of them in a votive candle holder I had hung on the wall. I really didn’t expect it to survive, frankly, but I thought it would look nice for a while. Much to my surprise, despite no water drainage and no sunlight, the plant has grown about six inches in the past three months and since has sprouted a second branch. A bit of magick perhaps?
I’ll be honest, there is also an ivy plant in our kitchen but I’m not sharing a picture of it because, well because as of yesterday, it’s officially been declared beyond saving. Not sure what killed it because it was doing fine, we changed nothing, and then it slowly started dying with no hope for revival. What can I say? My green thumb only reaches so far.
The key to indoor gardening is really just trial and error – seeing what plants work in your space and how you and your space feel about certain plants.
It also helps to, you know, water them once in a while.
Upstairs in my bedroom, I have a terrarium of succulents which you’ve seen before because it also functions as the Earth element on my altar:
Last but not least, I have a small green houseplant next to my bed which honestly, I think is so important. Even though I felt like I had decorated my room, I had lived there for almost five months before I finally got any plants in my bedroom and as soon as I did, I had this totally unexpected sense of completion. All of a sudden, my space felt whole, as if the room had been missing that element of life.
Plus, I fell in love with this planter at Target and had to find something to thrive in it!
I also can’t overemphasize the power of cut flowers. Although it may not seem as magickal to go to your local flower shop and purchase a bouquet as it would to, a) grow them yourself or b) gather them in a softly sunlit field, having flowers in the house is proven to uplift spirits. Even if it’s just a single stem in a bud vase, flowers will make a huge difference in your mood and your magick.
So without further rambling, what plants can you grow in your apartment or small space?
Mandrake would be the perfect topping, but alas, my one attempt at that disappeared one evening, a tragedy indeed. This year I found a live plant and ordered it. Then the virus struck the world and the vendor disappeared.

The characters were uninteresting and lacked depth. The special effects looked cheap and cheesy, which took away from the overall viewing experience. I was expecting a fun and spooky Halloween movie, but instead, I got a mess of a film. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
2. Kevin - 1 star - "Swinging witch spiri halllowen" was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The acting was terrible, with stiff and unnatural performances from the cast. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and filled with cliches. The attempts at humor fell flat, and the scares were predictable and unoriginal. I had high hopes for a fun and entertaining Halloween movie, but this film missed the mark completely. Save your money and skip this one.
3. Sarah - 2.5 stars - I had mixed feelings about "Swinging witch spiri halllowen". While the concept had potential, the execution was lacking. The pacing was slow, and the movie felt disjointed. The scares were few and far between, and when they did happen, they were underwhelming. The ending was also unsatisfying and left many unanswered questions. Overall, it had the potential to be a great Halloween movie, but unfortunately, it fell short. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're a die-hard fan of the genre.
