Autumn’s Enchantment

[image error]

Merry meet all,

Alas, the dark half of the year is here. I looooooooooooooove this time. I am suddenly beset with all this writing for horror markets because that’s what I do, even all year round. But when it comes to horror fiction and Halloween, the 2 have gone hand in hand for many  years.

The trees’ leaves are turning. Pumpkins appear bedecking grocery carts and front decks of houses. My garden is readying for fall and a well earned rest. Well I have had my 3 months of rest and I am only too eager to be on my feet. The stores are starting to carry Halloween stuff and horror movies fill the theater screens. I’m only too eager to visit my fave shops for a new supply of spooky Halloween gear. I also want to get my ouija board going. It does not seem to want to work. I am surprised because I thought I would have a good time with the ouija board. I shall keep trying. I watched a few videos on how it’s done to see if I had done anything wrong but no. Hmmm

I know my apartment is haunted. I have seen spirits/ ghosts / strange things with my own eyes. I have felt them too. For instance, last Samhain, as I performed a  ritual, something hit my foot and it wasn’t my cat. I backed away in fear. I looked and saw nothing but I sure felt something tap my foot. So that is why when I ordered the ouija board, I was sure something would happen. It may take a long time for the board to get used to me or for a spirit to have the energy to contact me. But contact me they can.

When I held the Halloween/ Samhain fortune telling supper, I saw them – the spirits , had also invited themselves over for the spooky Samhain soiree, and I was pleased. I had no  problem with that. I gifted someone the ouija board and I kept the cat one. I want to buy some selenite for my ouija board. I don’t know who handled it before me or how old it is.

But then let us not forget I do have a cat. Cats protect the home and even more importantly, protect the home from negative spirits. That may be why I haven’t seen many spirits in my home. Perhaps the closer it gets to Samhain, the higher the chance of that changing. I prefer to call on the more ancestral positive  spirits. They will help you and guide you.

Let’s honor the spirits this year during the autumn enchantment.
