Halloween traditions are rooted in the ancient Celts celebration called Samhain (pronounced sow-win). The Celts divided their year into light (Summer) and dark (Winter) and on this particular date they celebrated their harvest, hard work, and prepared for the coming months. They also believed the veil between the worlds of the living and dead were thinnest during this time and spirits walked amongst them. They took measures to ward off low lying spirits and made offerings to the spirits of their visiting ancestors.
This is the season to acknowledge the unseen, to honor our ancestors, and to recognize the rhythms of Mother Earth. It's possible we're more sensitive or vulnerable to these energetic shifts during this time of year as the flow of communication between the realms is easier and more transparent. This makes it a powerful time to utilize this energy for further spiritual exploration. Here are some of our favorite ways to deepen our connection to the magic this time of year.
1. Cleanse and Reset Your Space
Energetically cleanse your home to invite in clarity and peace.
Use Sage or Cedar for a deep smudge to remove stagnant energy.
Essential oils like Mugwort (do not use if pregnant or nursing), Rosemary, or Clary Sage help ground and purify your space while enhancing focus and intuition.
Try adding 1–3 drops to a diffuser first thing in the morning for a refreshing start.
2. Create a Crystal Grid for Protection and Power
Build a crystal grid to align with seasonal energy. Crystals that shine this time of year:
A crystal skull makes a powerful centerpiece, while carvings such as bats, spiders, or crows deepen connections with their spiritual symbolism.
3. Illuminate the Longer Nights
Bring warmth and comfort into your space with the soft glow of candles. The flicker of light reminds us that even in darkness, our inner flame remains bright.
4. Honor Your Ancestors
Create an ancestor altar to celebrate those who came before you.
Include:
Offer blessings and prayers, keeping the altar cleansed and filled with gratitude.
5. Connect Through Writing
Write letters to loved ones who have passed, expressing memories or messages of love. Add them to your altar or burn them during a fire ceremony as an offering of release and connection.
6. Reflect Through Dreams
Your dream world may be more vivid right now — keep a dream journal by your bed.
Even a few words or a feeling jotted down upon waking can reveal deep insight over time.
7. Strengthen Intuition with Divination
Work with tools such as:
These help open the Third Eye Chakra and strengthen your intuitive connection.
Always cleanse your tools, ground your energy, and close your practice with gratitude.
8. Journal for Reflection and Ancestral Connection
Take time to pause and look within. Here are some meaningful journal prompts focused on self-reflection and ancestral connections.
Celebrate and honor your journey during this sacred time of remembrance, reflection, and renewal!
Tea Tree, (Melaleuca alternifolia) known for its crisp aroma, has a wide range of benefits. It has a distinctive medicinal scent that can soften when blended with oils such as Vetiver, Lavender, or citrus oils. It is native to Australia and has been used for centuries by the Aboriginal people. The water resistant bark was used to make canoes, knife sheaths, and shelters. The oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the tree, which is found in warm, swampy regions.
Therapeutic & Energetic Qualities
Tea Tree is a natural anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antimicrobial. It can support your immune system and relieve chest tension during times of illness. Tea Tree can soothe irritated skin, such as bug bites. It has also been added to shampoos to help with dandruff and irritated scalps. Tea Tree helps relieve mental fatigue and bolster emotional confidence while also grounding your energy and connecting to your Root Chakra.
How to Incorporate Tea Tree into Your Daily Routine
Supplies Needed
1. Add 10 drops of Pink Grapefruit, 10 drops of Eucalyptus, & 10 drops of Tea Tree (30 drops total) to your empty oil bottle. This will be your stock bottle.
2. Fill a bowl or mug halfway with steaming hot water (not boiling!).
3. Add 1-2 drops of oils from your stock bottle to the steaming water. No more than 2! If you accidentally add more than 2, start over.
4. With your eyes closed (never open them over the steam!), lean over the bowl/mug and breathe in steam. You can use an eye mask if you'd like. It's okay if you cough or need to blow your nose. If you feel comfortable, you can place the towel over your head. Continue to breathe in steam for all long as you feel comfortable or steam subsides.
The cooled off water can be passively diffused in your space. Do not ingest it or reheat it. Once you feel a cold coming on, try steaming 3-5 times for the first few days. This is not recommended for children under the age of 12.
Tea Tree is a staple in our aromatherapy toolkit! Use it year round to freshen your home environment, support your immune system, and improve your emotional strength and resolve. We love the notes is adds to our Root Chakra Roller Blend and Earth Cold Process Soap.

The angelic realm is a hierarchy of divine beings of light, messengers, and protectors sent to support, assist, and guide humanity. Whether you call them archangels, guardian angels, or light beings, their energy is pure, loving, and aligned with your highest good.
Angels operate on a high vibrational frequency, acting as bridges between the Divine and earthly realms. Here are some ways they can help you on your spiritual journey.
They often intervene subtly, through a "knowing", serendipitous events, or repeating messages. These are common signs of their presence.
These signs remind you that you are never alone. The more you acknowledge them, the more clearly their presence will be felt.
Crystals act as energetic amplifiers, helping you to align with angelic frequencies. Here are some of our favorite crystals to work with to connect to the angelic realm.
Scent can be a powerful tool for spiritual connection. Sacred plants carry light, clarity, and high vibrational frequencies. Here are our favorite essential oils and plants we use to connect to the angelic realm.
Use these oils in your diffuser when meditating with the angelic realm or apply a few drops at bedtime to invite angel messages into your dreams. Incense sticks, cones, or resins are another way to invite these scents into your home.
Each archangel can be called upon for specific needs. Clearly state your intention and guidance you are in need of. After calling them in, sit in stillness, and observe any feelings, images, or words that arise.
In Kyle Gray's book, Connecting with the Angels Made Easy: How to See, Hear and Feel Your Angels, he offers a candle ritual to welcome in your guardian angel's presence. Find a large enough candle that you'll be able to gaze directly into. Dim the lights in your home and light the candle. You'll be gazing at the candle so make sure you're in a comfortable position. Here is his step by step guide.
Gaze at the candle flame and allow its golden light to wash over you.
In your mind, set the intention that you want to draw your angel close to you.
Feel in your heart and in your soul that they are enveloping you in their energy.
Keep gazing at the candle and visualize your third eye centre opening up.
As your third eye opens, feel yourself attune to the vision of your angel.
See yourself tapping into the voice of your angel as you gaze towards the candle.
Feel, see and hear their presence.
Breathing steadily and deeply through both nostrils, allow yourself to go into a light trance.
When your gaze has become a stare, close your eyes immediately.
Pay attention to the thoughts, messages, words or impressions that come to you.
Then say a quiet prayer like "Thank you, angel. I am so glad you are close to me. I allow you into my heart. Thank you for staying there!"
Place your hands on the ground at either side of your body and press firmly down to ground yourself.
Drink some water and maybe eat some nuts or fruit to ground yourself.
Eventually it will become automatic for you to direct your energy and focus to your angel in order to feel them around you, and a beautiful feeling of safety and support will come to you in return.
The angelic realm is always near and ready to walk beside you, lift your spirit, and offer guidance when asked. Working with crystals and mindful intentions can help you tune into their frequency. They are ready to meet you with love, compassion, and radiant light!
The Autumn Equinox reminds us that life is a balance between light and dark, growth and release, and action and rest. Just as the natural world begins to slow and prepare for a quieter season, we too are invited to find balance within ourselves. This time of year encourages us to reflect on areas in our lives where harmony may be missing. Are we giving too much and not receiving enough? Are we moving too quickly and neglecting the need for stillness? The equinox offers an opportunity to pause and realign, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to create space for deeper grounding. Here are some of our tips for finding balance this season!
The Autumn Equinox invites us to find harmony between action and stillness, outer expression and inner reflection. By embracing the balance of light and dark, we cultivate clarity and peace. Just as the Earth shifts with grace, so too can you realign, release, and return to balance.
Summer is the season of expansion, abundance, and fiery energy! This time of year invites us to connect with joy and radiate from our hearts. One way to align with this energy is through aromatherapy. Here are our favorite oils to connect into the energy of this season!
Bergamot helps shift emotional heaviness, such as grief and loneliness, to bring in optimism and positivity. It supports the alignment of your Solar Plexus chakra-your center of confidence and personal power. Diffuse in your personal space when in need of an emotional boost or apply with a carrier oil on your Solar Plexus, located in the upper abdomen, above your navel. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Grapefruit's bright, uplifting scent infuses your space with vitality. This oil can soothe mental fatigue and offer a quick emotional reset. Inhale directly from the bottle or diffuse in your work or study space for a boost of motivation. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Sweet Orange supports joy and opens our heart space. Use this oil in your diffuser first thing in the morning to set the tone for the day. It helps move stagnant energy in your home and infuses your space with optimism. (This oil is phototoxic.)
Lemongrass eases unfocused thoughts to bring in clarity and sharpens our inner vision. It is naturally protective and can provide an energetic reset into your home. Its bright, fresh scent is strong and can easily overpower blends, so use sparingly. Lemongrass can be irritating to skin so always dilute well with a carrier oil when applying. It can also be used (in combination with other essential oils) as a natural insect deterrent.
The sacred flower Rose is a symbol and vessel of the Divine Feminine and consciousness. It is a multidimensional symbol of Love and the sacred feminine in full bloom. Its subtle frequency teaches us about sacred timing, divine surrender, and inner courage. Roses high vibrational frequency resonates with the Heart Chakra. This helps to balance and align your heart space facilitating unconditional Love.
The Rose has long been associated with goddesses throughout history. Aphrodite (Greek), Venus (Roman), Lakshmi (Hindu), and Isis (Egyptian) are linked to the passion, desire, and blessings of the Rose.
The sacred symbolism of the Rose can be broken down into three elements.
In the The Rose Oracle, author Rebecca Campbell says this about the ancient wisdom of the Rose: "She has seen civilizations come and go and knows much more than we do about living harmoniously on planet Earth....May we open our hearts to Her wisdom and our ears to Her ancient song. The rose has deep teachings and technology coded within Her. I believe if we slow down enough to connect with and listen to Her, it's possible to hear secrets hidden and lost through time."
Here are our favorite ways to connect with the frequency of the Rose.
Understanding the Rose as a symbol of Divine consciousness helps us (men and women) connect more deeply with ourselves and the sacred wisdom that exists all around us. It reminds us to come back to self where beauty, truth, and wisdom already lives within us!
The Earth element, one of the four elements, is the foundation of stability, strength, and grounding in many spiritual traditions. It embodies nourishment, abundance, and our connection to nature and all living things. It is also associated with growth, fertility, and endurance, offering a sense of security and balance to those who embrace its energy.
In astrology the Earth signs, (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are known for their reliable, practical nature and down-to-earth approach. People born under this sign provide others with a stable foundation and a sense of security.
The Earth element is connected with the Root Chakra. This energy center located at the base of the spine, is responsible for grounding our energy and keeping us secure. When our Root Chakra is aligned and balanced, we have clarity of mind, maintain emotional composure through difficult feelings, and our life force energy remains intact.
Archangel Uriel, known as the "Bringer of Light", is closely associated with the Earth element. He can be called upon for those seeking guidance and in need of clarity during challenging situations.
All crystals resonate with the Earth element but these are our favorites for working with the specific grounding and nurturing energy of the Earth: Hematite, Moss Agate, Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Tourmaline, and Petrified Wood. Hematite in particular is especially powerful for connecting to the Earth's core.
To connect with the Earth element, there are a variety of ways to engage in activities that will offer you stability and ground your energy. Aromatherapy can offer benefits such as a relaxation and restore balance to your body, mind, and spirit. Our favorite oils to diffuse for their ability to connect with Earth's natural rhythms are Cedarwood, Vetiver, Frankincense, and Patchouli. Yoga poses such as Mountain Pose, Child's Pose, Warrior Pose, and Tree Pose, "earthing", guided meditations, building a crystal grid, and herbalism are all ways to connect with the grounding and nurturing Earth element.
The Earth element offers a strong foundation for spiritual growth, healing, and manifestation. By incorporating Earth element crystals, aromatherapy, and grounding practices, you can cultivate stability, prosperity, and a deep connection with nature. Embrace the wisdom of the Earth, and let it guide you toward a more balance and abundant life!
Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, is named after the Roman god representing battle and strategic combat. This red planet is associated with action, passion, courage, and determination. It governs raw energy, ambition, and the warrior spirit within us all. Mars can influence our drive, willpower, and the way we assert ourselves in the world. It governs the signs Aries and Scorpio, were its energy transforms into a more strategic and intense force. Throughout history, it has been associated with numerous gods such as the Greek god Ares, the Norse god Tyr, the Hindu god Kartikeya, the Eqyptian god Sekhmet, and the Celtic god Camulus. These gods mirror its influence on strength, courage, and determination.
Mar's symbol is represented by a circle with an arrow emerging from it, representing a shield and spear, and is associated with action, energy, and assertiveness. Mars resonates with the element of fire and the color red. Fiery, energetic herbs such as Ginger, Nettle, and Dragons Blood, are often used in ceremony to tap into Mars potential.
Energy & Willpower
Mars carries an intense, assertive energy that can be harnessed for personal power, protection, and motivation. When we align with its energy, we are more confident, bold, and fearless in pursuit of our goals. When Mars is in retrograde, it slows our drive, forcing us to reconsider our actions, ambition, and assertive tendencies.
Affect on Root and Solar Plexus Chakra
Mars governs the Root and Solar Plexus Chakras, grounding us in strength, survival instincts, and resilience. It fuels the Solar Plexus where personal power, determination, and courage reside. Using Mars energy can enhance your confidence, assertiveness, and motivation. People who are in leadership roles can benefit from this increase of stamina and strengthen their initiative.
Warrior Spirit
Mars helps overcome fear, procrastination, and self-doubt. It can be called upon for protection as it embodies the warrior spirit and invoked for courage in the face of adversity and to create strong energetic boundaries.
Some of our favorite crystals we love to work with for connecting with Mar's energy are Red Jasper, Bloodstone, Garnet, Obsidian, and Hematite. They can assist in protection, motivation, and boost our passion and desires.
Mars is a force of action, passion, and unwavering strength. Whether you're seeking motivation, protection, or confidence, aligning with Mars' energy can empower you to push forward, stand your ground, and embrace the your warrior spirit!
The Crown Chakra is the seventh chakra of our energy centers, located at the top of the head. It is the seat of higher awareness, guiding us toward wisdom, inner peace, and cosmic understanding.
What is the Crown Chakra?
It is known as Sahasrara in Sanskrit and depicted as a thousand-petaled lotus, symbolizing the infinite nature of spiritual awakening. It resonates with the colors violet and white and is associated with cosmic energy and the musical note "B".
How to Balance your Crown Chakra
An imbalance (either under or overactive) of the Crown Chakra can manifest in feelings of spiritual disconnection, confusion of life's purpose, sense of isolation, difficulty grounding and feelings disconnected from reality. There are several ways to balance the Crown Chakra to unlock its full potential. Reignite or begin a meditation practice focusing on chanting the "Om" mantra as this closely resonates with the Crown Chakra. Consider modalities such as Reiki and sound baths. Reiki practitioners are able to assess the Crown Chakra for imbalances and make recommendations to maintain its integrity. Connect with the cosmos through star gazing. Yoga poses such as Rabbit pose, Lotus pose, and Headstands focus attention and energy at the Crown Chakra.
Using aromatherapy such as essential oils either by diffusing in your space or applying to your Crown Chakra can create flow. Frankincense, Palo Santo, Neroli, and Bergamot are all great choices for working with imbalance by centering your energy and emotions.
Archangel Metatron is strongly associated with transformation and the angelic realm. Calling upon him during meditation can offer guidance on your spiritual journey and help you to connect with divine consciousness.
Working with crystals can also help serve as a bridge between individual consciousness and the divine. Our favorite crystals to encourage spiritual enlightenment are Clear Quartz, Lemurian Quartz, Amethyst, Selenite, and Mica.
As you cultivate awareness of your Crown Chakra, remember that enlightenment is not a destination but a continuous unfolding of Universal truth, Love, and cosmic consciousness.

Element: Sahasrara (thought or inner light)
