S2 E40 Astrological Samhain

Halloween was on October 31st, but Samhain - Astrologically - isn't until November 6th at 10:50pm Central US time this year. It's a Cross-quarter day (between the equinoxes and solstices) so it happens when the sun is in 15º Scorpio. It's coming! Here are a few things you can do to celebrate astrological Samhain including Ancestor Altars to venerate your ancestors, baking Soul Cakes, and scrying when the veil is its absolute thinnest.

Here's the Soul Cakes Recipe from this episode:

1 stick of unsalted butter, softened
4 TBS sugar
1 1/2 Cups flour
¼ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350º. Cream together the butter and sugar. Sift flour and salt into the bowl, and mix until it's smooth. Divide the dough into two parts, and shape each half into a flat circle about half an inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and, using the tines of a fork, press perforations into the disc from one side to the other in the spokes of a wheel, like a pie. Make 8 wedges on each disc. This will make it easier to break apart once it's baked and cooled. Bake for 25 minutes or until light brown.
