Calling the Pumpkins Spell

Try carving up four small pumpkins and then tuck tea-light candles inside. Imagine using these for quarter candles on this October Full Moon. Halloween/Samhain is only a few days away—why not get into the spirit of things and add some enchantment to your group’s Full Moon celebration? Carve the pumpkins in whatever design you prefer: simple faces, stars, a triple Moon, a pentagram, or elemental symbols. As you go to place them at the quarters, try this quarter call.

In the eastern quarter I call knowledge and intuition true.
At the southern quarter I call for passion and courage in all that we do.
Here in the west grant us visions and bless us with love.
In the north I call for security and strength from the gods above.
