This month in the Final Girls Club, check out Your Hallowed Halloween Kit. I created this kit as a way to help you slow down and appreciate this most sacred time in the wheel of the year, with Halloween rituals designed to support your mental health. From tarot spreads, dreamwork exercises, and an activity to help you find your monster movie soulmate as a portrait of your own psychic terrain – each ritual is informed by depth psychology and is designed to help you connect with your own depths, be intentional with the magic around you, and harness Halloween’s true meaning, legends, and traditions as a pathway back to yourself.
As a special treat for my hallowed listeners, save $5 when using code TRICKRTREAT.
