Description:

I think we all know what Halloween is. But for those who do not know of Samhain, it is a celebration of the end of the harvest season and a time to honor those who have passed on the year before. It is generally regarded as The Celtic New Year or as Sabbats (one of the eight annual Wiccan festivals). However you want to observe it, October 31st is a day of celebration.

In this swap, we will have 1 partner.

We will send our partner items to help celebrate Samhain and / or Halloween. Our swap should cost somewhere between $15 and $20 before boxing and shipping.

You may list in the comment section below whether you would prefer Samhain or Halloween and any allergies you may have.

A suggestion of items to send: black cats, apples, besoms, jack o lanterns or pumpkins, cauldron, waning moon, Samhain recipes, black stones, harvest incense, witches, bats, autumn leaves, altar cloths in black and/or orange, candles, spiders and / or webs, anything Halloween oriented, matchbox filled with beads and buttons in the Samhain/Halloween colors, any kinds of fall vegetation such as leaves, wheat stalks, gourds, dried corn stalks, Crone Goddess images, anything that can be used for scrying or divination.

I would prefer a mix of both--I celebrate in both ways...

I wanted to do your swaps last year but had too much going on. Thanks for having these again!

I prefer items to celebrate Samhain but if you can't find anything I like halloween crafts and kids items as opposed to just purely decorative items. I love handmade items the best :D. I am allergic to coconut so please no coconut candy or oil.

I strongly prefer Samhain or non-cutesy Halloween stuff. Thank you so much!

I have tons of Halloween stuff and have ready access to Samhain, so either would be fine with me.
