Color of the day: Topaz Incense of the day: Lavender Choose paper in colors that are appropriate to the date or event. For Samhain, try black, silver, and orange. Cut a 1 x 4-inch strip for each countdown day. On each strip, write a charm, task, affirmation, or instruction. Here are some ideas: * Pull a tarot card while reflecting on what Samhain will mean to you. * Create a Samhain incense of sage, cinnamon, cloves, and resin. * Carve a protective rune into a small pumpkin and leave on the front porch. * Set up (or tidy up) an ancestor altar. Staple the strips together, forming a chain, and tack it to the ceiling. Each day, undo a "link" and carry out the action. The chain will be gone on the day of your event, and you'll be ready for it! |
