When I first walked into Luna Co Soap’s cozy studio on a crisp October afternoon, the scent of rosemary, amber, and fresh earth wrapped around me like a welcoming spell. I was there for the highly recommended witchcraft candle workshop Long Island offers, but I left with a whole new appreciation for how scent, ritual, and community intertwine during Samhain. The experience felt less like a class and more like a gathering of friends who share a love for honoring ancestors, celebrating the witch’s new year, and indulging in beautiful, purposeful products.

One of the first things the workshop facilitator, Maya, emphasized was the power of intention behind each flame. “When you carve a symbol into the wax, you’re not just decorating a candle—you’re writing a promise to the spirits you call upon,” she explained. Participants were handed artisan candles for witchcraft celebrations, each made from soy wax, infused with essential oils, and hand‑poured into glass jars that could be reused for future spells. The atmosphere was alive with conversation: practitioners shared how they use these candles in ancestor altars, while newcomers asked about the best ways to blend herbal scents for protection and love.

Emma, a regular attendee, described her first handmade Samhain soap for rituals as a turning point in her practice. “I’ve always made my own incense, but never thought about soap as a ritual tool,” she laughed. “When I lathered the Persephone‑inspired soap during my evening rite, the sweet pomegranate fragrance felt like a direct line to the Underworld’s queen. It was both cleansing and empowering.” Emma’s testimonial highlights how an artisan soap inspired by Persephone correspondences can become a tactile reminder of the goddess’s cycles—death, rebirth, and transformation—all central themes of Samhain.

Beyond the immersive workshop, Luna Co Soap offers a curated line of products that echo the same reverence for season and spirit. Their goddess manifestation oil for honoring ancestors blends frankincense, myrrh, and a hint of citrus—ingredients traditionally used to lift prayers to the beyond. Customers like Carlos, who runs a small coven in Huntington, swear by this oil when they set up their family altars. “A few drops on the candle wick, and the whole space feels charged,” he says. “It’s as if the ancestors hear us louder.”

When it comes to personal care, Samhain body oils for spiritual cleansing have become a fan favorite. The formula includes cedarwood for grounding, lavender for calm, and a whisper of sandalwood to open the psychic channels. One reviewer wrote, “I use the oil before my nightly meditation, and I can literally feel a veil lifting. My dreams are clearer, and I wake with a sense of having spoken with family members who have passed.” This spiritual body oil for Aphrodite powers, though named for love, also serves the purpose of bridging the veil during the twilight of the year, making it a versatile addition to any witch’s toolkit.

What sets Luna Co Soap apart is its dedication to storytelling through each product. Their handcrafted Samhain candles for rituals come in shades of deep amber and midnight black, each color chosen to represent the light and dark aspects of the season. The candle labels feature short mythic verses—like a tiny scroll of ancient wisdom—that help users remember the purpose of their intention. “I light my black candle with a prayer for protection, then switch to the amber one for gratitude,” shares Maya, a first‑time participant of the workshop. “The transition feels like moving from winter’s night to spring’s promise.”

In the realm of skin‑care, the goddess‑inspired soap for Samhain isn’t just about fragrance
