These fragrant, gooey, Samhain ritual cakes combine classic autumn ingredients like pumpkin, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Create an artisan addition to any autumn ritual or celebration!

Samhain Ritual Cakes

At the end of Sabbats and moon rituals, many covens serve a light snack traditionally called “cakes and ale.”

This small, shared meal acts as a grounding ritual to transition from spiritual experience back into mundane life.

Packed with staple ingredients traditional to the Samhain season, these festive little treats make the perfect cakes for the “cakes and ale” portion of any Samhain or fall moon ritual.

But you need not work in a coven to spread the magic!

Some Ideas for Using Your Samhain Cakes in Ritual

There are lots of ways to use your creation in a magical way.  Serving them for the cakes and ale portion of your Samhain ritual is the most obvious, but here are some other ideas:

-Recognize the Samhain tradition of honoring your ancestors and those who crossed over the Veil to the other side.  Leave a cake on the altar as an offering to your ancestors to secure their blessing for the coming season.

-Ginger and maple syrup “warm up” the heart and “sweeten” friendship.  Bless these cakes for happy relationships and give them away to your neighbors, friends or co-workers.

-Cinnamon has protective properties.  Bless them for protection and send them to school in your child’s lunchbox.
