Hunter's Moon Halloween Ritual: The Full Moon Before Samhain

The Hunter's Moon rises October 26, 2026 — just five days before Halloween itself. This is one of the most powerful full moons of the year for witchy practice: the veil is thin, the air has turned, and this full moon has always marked the shift into the hunting and preparation season before winter closes in.

The Ritual

This is a release-and-arm working, done in two parts. First, write down what you're ready to let go of before the new year turns — an old fear, a grudge, a habit — and burn it safely (a fireproof dish works fine). Then light a second candle and name one thing you want to carry protected into the dark half of the year. Say: "What no longer serves me, the Hunter's Moon takes. What I carry forward, I carry armed."

The Look for the Night

This is peak Halloween-and-ritual overlap season — pieces that work as both a costume statement and a genuine practice piece hit hardest right now. The Witch Tarot Tee and the Evil Eye Protection Tee both do double duty for Halloween week.
