When it comes to decorating our homes for the Halloween season, we often focus on the exterior, such as cobwebs, pumpkins, and spooky lighting. However, one area that is often overlooked is the windows. Windows provide the perfect canvas for displaying Halloween decorations, and one trend that has gained popularity in recent years is witchy window ornamentation with a tapping element. This unique and whimsical decor adds a touch of magic to any home and captures the essence of the Halloween season. The main idea behind this type of window ornamentation is to create a mystical and bewitching scene that comes to life with a simple tap. The tapping element can be achieved through the use of sound-activated props or by incorporating wind chimes or bells that react to movement.
There is a multitude of small journals and newsletters dealing with the occult. Consult a librarian at the Information Desk in Room 315 for reference volumes which will provide lists of current titles. NYPL has not attempted to collect these titles due to their ephemeral nature. However, journals considered to be of research value have been acquired. In the Dictionary Catalog, look under the subject heading Occult sciences--Per. & Soc. Publications for older publications. In CATNYP, the subject Occultism will retrieve both journals and monographs.

Occult Sciences and Parapsychology
There are many requests for assistance in researching "the occult," as it is popularly called. One person asking this question might be interested in such topics as alchemy, ghosts, magic, palmistry, witchcraft, UFOs, Bigfoot or yoga. Another person might be interested in para-psychology, which is concerned with the scientific investigation of clairvoyance, reincarnation and other paranormal phenomena. The range of interests covered by either category is incredibly wide. Therefore, this guide will not attempt to provide titles dealing with unique subjects within the Occult Sciences or Parapsychology but will direct the reader to general sources and bibliographies. Emphasis is on the most current and comprehensive sources.
The New York Public Library has an extensive collection of materials on the occult. The General Research Division collects a wide range of topics including esoteric magic (as opposed to stage magic, which is collected by the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts), spiritualism and witchcraft. There are particularly strong collections on divination and Theosophy. The Science, Industry and Business Library collects materials on alchemy and flying saucers. Books on oriental mysticism and yoga are collected by the Asian and Middle Eastern Division. The Slavic and Baltic Division collects, in the original language, the works of Russian mystics, such as H.P. Blavatsky, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture collects titles on voodoo, santeria and related topics.
Parapsychology, the branch of psychology which deals with the scientific investigation of paranormal or psychic phenomena, is collected by the General Research Division.

Choose decorations that fit within the chosen theme, such as witches, black cats, broomsticks, cauldrons, and eerie creatures. Next, think about how to incorporate the tapping element. For example, wind chimes shaped like witches or black cats can be hung near the window to create a spooky sound when the wind blows. Sound-activated props, such as a witch cackling or a ghost moaning, can be strategically placed to surprise and delight passersby. In addition to the tapping element, consider using lighting to enhance the overall effect. Orange and purple string lights can be woven through the decorations, creating an enchanting glow that invites onlookers to take a closer look. When positioning the decorations in the window, think about the dimensions and shape of the window frame. Create a sense of depth by placing larger decorations towards the back and smaller ones towards the front. This will give the illusion of a three-dimensional scene and make the display more visually interesting. Finally, don't forget about the window itself. Apply translucent window film or use window markers to add a spooky design, such as spiderwebs or bats. This will further enhance the overall theme and draw attention to the window display. Overall, witchy window ornamentation with a tapping element is a unique and creative way to decorate for the Halloween season. It adds an interactive and magical element to the home, leaving onlookers spellbound. So this Halloween, let your windows become a portal to a whimsical and enchanting world..
