Knit or crochet scarves and hats for the coming winter
Bake a classic pumpkin pie and draw sigils in the crust

Bathe in a mixture of allspice, sage, and mugwort* for a ritual bath
Take a lazy witch halloween LUSH bath
Banish negativity (and dead skin) with a DIY fall scented body scrub or cute little sugar scrub cubes
