Did you know that Samhain / Halloween is also known as the Witchās New Year?! 
Thatās because before the 24-hour clock, the day began and ended at sunset. In the same way, the year was considered to begin with the dark half, which starts in autumn. 
Hereās a spell I prepared for this weekās Witchy Challenge!
Samhain Spellwork for personal Goals
Samhain is considered one of the four Greater Sabbats or āFire Festivalsā in the Wheel of the Year. One of my favorite traditions, even though Iād never seen it in person, is the fire wheel made of straw that villagers would roll down the hill to ensure abundance.
This is a safe homemade ritual inspired by that. Youāll need:
- Pen and pieces of paper
- Fireproof container
- Orange and Black candle
- Grass straws I collected outside
- Seasonal altar offerings
Casting the Samhain Spell
-
Light the candles.
-
Meditate and mentally make a list of your personal goals.
-
On each piece of paper, write down one of your goals for the year that begins.
-
Keep focusing on your goals as you roll each of the straws into a loop.
-
Say the following spell:
āFire wheel, roll downhill,
Hear my petition, thatās my will.
The Wheel of the year is always turning,
All through the winter, slowly burning.ā
-
Roll the papers and put them in the straws. Burn them in a fireproof container one by one.
-
Let the candles burn completely.
The straw that I picked had a really cool aroma that reminds me of white sage. I took this as a good sign! I will continue to burn them through Samhain night (October 31st / November 1st).
Who knows? š¤·š»
I believe that would be something that sticks with me for a loooong time, even lifetimes!
Wow, the original festival looks like quite the party- I admit I would probably be terrified of the massive flaming ball of hall flying down the hill 
I love your (much safer) version!
