Why is October important to witches?
Many modern witches have returned to celebrating natural cycles and seasons, with October closely following the Fall equinox, heralding in the winter season, and traditionally being associated with the liminal time between darkness and light, as well as many cross-cultural traditions honoring the dead traditionally held at this time, including the Celtic Samhain (Sowin), the Roman Feralia, the Catholic All Souls Day and All Saints Day, the modern Halloween, and the Mexican Dia de Los Muertos.
It is said that at this time of year, the veil between this world and the other side “thins,” the boundary between the living and the dead is blurred, many ghosts return to earth, making it an easier time for divination and prophecy and to connect to ancestors, saints, and crossed over souls. Many modern witches find this to be an even more powerful time for divination, mediumship, and ancestor veneration.
This year, Scorpio season begins on October 23 and closely following we begin Eclipse Season with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 and a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 8. In the world of astrology, an eclipse is considered a fated time that helps propel us toward our destiny. Some view an eclipse as all cycles of the moon in one, thus moving intention forward very powerfully and quickly.
So, with this October also welcoming an eclipse season, you can definitely say 2022 Halloween is going to be an especially powerful, magical, and witchy time of year!!
