You light the Kale Torch, I'll grab the root veg lantern!!! :D I love this time of year, it makes me want to settle in by candle light and knit....there is something too about it that makes you reflect on the year- life and death- and muse on those deep things as we head towards Advent.
I love the deep and sacred atmosphere and purpose of Hallowtide. You do the feast justice with your thoughtful & informative post. I'm inspired by you to make kale & cabbage torches this year. Have you seen or made torches out of mullein stalks? Those are in the works here, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this essay, Kristin. I am really enjoying connecting the liturgical year to nature (as my brief church experiences throughout life had so entirely separated the two) -- I'm grateful for your posts, reminding me of how closely my ancestors' daily (often agrarian) lives in Nature interlaced with the church calendar. The painting you shared of the 'fool' with the kale torch is just wonderful! And, the printables are adorable...that precious little owl carrying its turnip lantern is so very cute.♡
I love the symbolism of all of these old Halloween traditions. You've done such a good job explaining them. And, as always, your artwork is gorgeous! Owl carrying the turnip lantern is my favorite! 🥰🦉

So glad I found your page through Katy’s link!
I've downloaded the recipe (traditional version), thanks, looking forward to trying it!
