Halloween is fast approaching, and it’s time to bring out the costume you’ve probably planned since last year, cutie, and get ready to have a lot of fun. Although Halloween is such a fun event, it still brings some spooky energies this season that can take a toll on your emotional state.
There is also a belief that Halloween creates negative energies as crimes seem to shoot up during this time of year.
Don’t let that energy dampen your Halloween spirits, though! If you feel some of those spooky vibes around you, you can banish them by doing some of these cleansing rituals:

- Honey soap
- Verbena
- Ragweed
- Basil

- Chamomile
- 3 lemons cut crosswise
