Witchcraft on a Shoestring: Halloween Cauldron Cup

While Halloween can mean the shops are full of shoddy plastic tat that’ll end up in landfill, there are also brilliant things to be found at this time of year. 

I bought this cauldron cup for £1 from Poundland. As well as drinking potions out of it (or tea mostly I reckon), I’ll be using it for water scrying and it would also be great as a tealight holder for candle magic. You can also often find black candles in high street shops in the run-up to Halloween. Normally they're hard to find except from specialist suppliers. 

As a witch, I look to autumn as a great time to stock up on supplies and other things I can use in my craft, especially if I'm on a shoestring budget.

I'll be saying more about Halloween in my Facebook Live talk on Magic for the Month of October tomorrow - Friday October 1st - at 4pm. Do come and watch live, or catch up later. You can find the details and links here:  https://www.facebook.com/events/1446845762360752/

Popped in our local Poundland today and they're out of cauldron cups, but I did manage to buy the last of their pumpkin cups for £1. They're getting more in next week, so I'll try my luck again then.

Good luck! I'm thinking of popping back to buy some more. Maybe I need a set of cauldron cups for when the coven comes round for tea and magic!
