๐Wheel of Halloween๐
There's a post of a tweet saying that every 31st of the month should be a Halloween, and you know what? I'm a Halloween Witch. I'm an Idolater. I'm an urban techno witch who lives an air conditioned life, can't stand nature bigger than a park or local landscaping, and hates leaving the city except to drive to another damn city.
I have been struggling to connect to the Wheel of the Year or the Solstices/Equinoxes for freaking years.
But a cycle of Halloweens?
That.
That I can fucking do.
So, without further ado, I present the shit I will be actually celebrating. Ya don't have to join me, but I will be posting about it for those that wanna follow along, with options and cutouts for those who don't want to or can't do the more party elements.
With luck, I'll pick up on August 31st and go from there, if not, I'll start with actual Halloween.
Halloween
October 31st
It's muthafucking Halloween. I have ideas and will post about them more as we get closer, but you know what this one is.
New Year's Eve
December 31st
This one actually also exists, but I have plans for tying it to the January 31st one to bookend the year. The primary purpose of this Eve is gratitude and sharing the good things from the year before, casting off the trappings of the old year, and to bring the new one in with luck and prosperity.
Candle's Eve
January 31st
One month from the casting out of the old year, it's time to set things for the new. Cleansing and cleaning, setting intentions (not resolutions) for the year to come, making the Mask of the Year to call on who I aspire to be, burning the intentions set last year with last years candle, and blessing a candle to burn this years intentions next year are all features. Food and drink suggestions available when I actually post this up.
Hallow Ides
March 31st
Couple of these have fun names, and this is one of them. It's a party holiday, involving a picnic and a special cake/cupcakes/muffins.
The costume element is that I'll swap clothes or looks with someone I'm celebrating with (or dress up as someone else if celebrating solo).
There's a drinking element (non-alcoholic is fine) that results in a stack o' good luck charms.
And for my trick, I can and will sing the filthiest songs, tell the dirtiest jokes, read a romance novel or erotica, just go ham on the bawdy shit.
Alternatives for ace and non-sexing folk will be forthcoming in the relevant post, but it's my damn Wheel and I'm doing bawdy shit for myself.
Blessed Eve
May 31st
Not a bonfire person, but I'm definitely gonna have a cookout and grill up some burgers! Also a neat drink and cookies that both double as offerings!
Flower masks and crowns are involved to hide from the spring spirits that might fux me upa.
There's a Blessing Bouquet that goes up early, is used to exorcise and re-bless my property/house, and then is ceremonially burned.
An ash blessing to seal the prosperity into my house ties the whole thing off.
Fortune's Eve
July 31st
This one pretty heavily revolves around a ritual game of betting and chance that I came up with based on a cool concept tied into the holiday I'm aiming at. Game generates lucky candy and a good luck charm.
Hella apples involved including a ceremonial apple and cider. Veils worn for the blindness of luck, and a strong theme of having a game day.

August 31st
I'm actually pretty stoked for this one, and will do a more expansive post on it later this week. I really hope I can pull this together in time this year.
Idea is a bit Opposite Day, a bit of LiarWeen vibe.
Trick the cosmos into taking away the bad shit and giving me good shit through a ritual lying ceremony, wearing a mask of duality to further confuse the issue. Ritual ash anointing to lock things down and ensure I get the stuff I want and ward off the shit I got rid of.
Candy (obvs) but I (and anyone celebrating with me) has to ask, and the person giving it has to make a point of saying no...while forking over.
And of course, games like Never Have I Ever or Two Truths & A Lie, drinking optional. (I will...probably...drink. Just saying.)
Where's the Eighth One?
Wheel has eight Sabbats, yeah?
In the grand tradition of the Satanist/Luciferian practices I stuck with for so long, Number 8 is my Birthday.
Or yours, if you decide to try this.
I'll decide what I wanna do about Birthday when I get there. You do you, tho.
And That's The Wheel of Halloween!
So yes, some of those are closer to recognizable Sabbats. Some of them are so far off that they're not in the same neighborhood. Spoiler: the ones you don't recognize are based (very, very loosely) on Roman festivals that occur in the corresponding month.
Why Roman?
Cause they had a religious festival for everything, there's records I can squint at, and they had a strong mystery tradition that plays well with my schtick.
I am not a dedicated Rome fanby, to be clear, the empire is just very much gone, very well attested, and I can most likely swipe the shape of their shit without worrying about stepping on anyone.
And even then, I'm mixing time periods, even up to hijacking Medieval Xtian shit where and when I see fit. Cause I was baptized Catholic, and that shit is my culture to use.
Neewollah Posting Hopefully Soon! Stay Tuned!
And of course, feel free to reach out for asks, questions, and readings if ya want 'em.
