Trick or treat <3 (From one graveyard witch to another, happy halloween!)
Happy Halloween!!
From one graveyard witch to another- here’s a targeted treat! 💀👻☠️
Clean up trash and debris
Bring offerings of water, flowers, strands of hair
Bring home leaves, sticks, small pebbles/rocks, a bit of dirt (NOT that are atop graves) to tie the graveyard to your personal altar and home spirit work
Take pictures of the graveyard
Look up history of it- when it was established, the main families it houses, any notable figures
If it’s an older one- take extra moments with the Forgotten Dead (headstones that are illegible). See if there’s a cemetery database to find out who they were. Don’t fret if there isn’t, just spending time with them is good too.
Read storybooks to any children buried there
Play music, sing if you’re comfortable
Use the natural items collected mentioned earlier to make a graveyard diorama with headstones at home to leave offerings for when you aren’t able to visit (it’s okay to supplement with soil from your home- it’s the thought that counts). These offerings can be stuff you aren’t able to leave at the graveyard itself- food, toys, books, etc
Sketch the graveyard and specific headstones
Headstone rubbings
Collecting snow water during winter months
Clearing leaves and twigs from atop headstones
Starting a memento mori journal specifically for that graveyard
Inquiring about how to be certified to wash/clean headstones at that graveyard (please don’t do this without permission)
Meditating in the graveyard

Selections from “The Somnia Tarot” - Nicolas Bruno
Best performed on a New Moon or Full Moon, or any time you are checking in with yourself and your practice. All answers are designed to be relevent within the span of one moon cycle. 1. Full Moon- What Gives You Power? What fills your cup, gives you energy, and keeps you moving forward? What do we want to make sure we keep around and nurture? Where can we draw strength from during this time?
2. Waning Moon- What Needs Letting Go? What are we carrying that no longer serves us? What can we release to make room for new things? What are we transitioning out of?
3. New Moon- What Is Ready To Begin? Every moment is a new beginning for something. What is waiting to break the surface? What needs a fresh start? What have you been putting off that you are now ready for? What new energy is coming into your life?
4. Waxing Moon- What Can You Develop? What can you best manifest during this time? What needs your attention in order to grow? What things are headed your way, but need a little help reaching their full potential?
