Samhain with The Corn(ish) Witch

Fae, Ghosts, Ancestry & Old Cornish Magic 

Hello Witches  

Join me for episode one of Witch Week for Samhain.  

On this episode I am joined by the wonderful Freyja, The Corn(ish) Witch, for a deeply magical conversation exploring the folklore, spirits, and ancestral traditions of Cornwall — where the veil between worlds seems to shimmer a little closer to the skin. 

Together we wander through -  

How Freyja will be celebrating Samhain and honouring her ancestors. 

Her own ghost and fae encounters, and what they’ve taught her about the Otherworld. 

The Cornish fae — from the Bucca to the Piskies — and their role in local lore. 

The mysteries of Merlin, Tintagel and Cornwall’s most powerful magical sites. 

The Cornish Pellars, traditional cunning folk and healers of the region. 

How ancestral trauma can echo through our DNA  

The celebration of Allantide — Cornwall’s own festival of apples, ancestors and soul fire. 

Plus, a few lesser-known herbs to work with this Samhain season — rooted in Cornish tradition and spirit medicine. 

This episode feels like walking through mist on the moors — old stories rising up from the land, whispering through time.  

This one’s for those who feel the call of the old paths — for witches who remember the song beneath the soil.

OCTOBER ON PATREON - WHISPERS AT THE VEIL

As the nights lengthen and the veil thins, the voices of the ancestors stir — soft, haunting, and full of wisdom.

This October inside Patreon, we will journey into Whispers at the Veil - a month of ancestral reverence, remembrance, and magick. Together we’ll open the door to our kin beyond the veil, honour their gifts, release their shadows and weave their blessings into our craft.

This month includes - 

Guided meditation to open ancestral communion

A podcast/grimoire pages on ancestral witchcraft & initiatory death rites in coven and esoteric traditions

An ancestor altar + ritual kit (printables + invocation)

Tarot & oracle spreads for ancestral guidance

Weekly journal prompts for reflection, healing, and remembrance

• A closing rite of Ancestral Blessing — sealing their wisdom into your path as the wheel turns

By the end of October, you will have - 

• Your own ancestor altar

• A living practice of honouring your dead

• Tools to heal ancestral wounds and embody ancestral blessings

• A rite of blessing + remembrance to carry their voices with you through the dark half of the year

Samhain is the witch’s New Year — a time when the veil between worlds thins and the Old Year falls away like autumn leaves. Together we will gather in sacred circle to honour the ancestors, release what is ready to be laid to rest, and call in the magick of the year ahead.

This circle will feel more festive than usual — a true witches’ gathering in the spirit of Samhain. Think candlelight, divination, fire magick, and the warmth of community as we step into the New Year.

What to expect -

Ritual of Release + Invitation – letting go of the old, welcoming the new.

Divination + Fortune-Telling – tarot, pendulum, scrying, traditional Samhain magic.

Ancestor Offering – honouring those who came before us.

New Year Spellwork – planting intentions for the year ahead.

Bring your candles, tarot cards, and a small offering for your ancestors.

The Samhain Gathering is our chance to cross the threshold together, in celebration, magick, and witchcraft.

I cannot wait to share this New Year circle with you.

[Thursday 30th October from 7pm GMT via Zoom - Witches Who Run With The Wolves tier
