Halloweven Candle, Fire, & Nut Divinations: Nutcrack or Snap Apple Night

Halloween fire and candle divination ritual site (outdoors)


Outdoors, you'd find traditions related to the ancient pagan tradition of jumping over a bonfire in candle-leaping traditions to ascertain the month of meeting one's true love or to predict a good or bad year ahead.


You'll also learn about placing chestnuts, hazelnuts, or walnuts in fires to divine romantic truths.


You'll be able to try a fortune telling charm involving six colored candles.


Finally, you'll learn about interpreting the behavior of floating half-walnut-shell candle boats in a tub of water to divine romantic fortunes.


Enjoy immersion in these hallowed traditions with our fire mistress, who will take volunteers for her demonstrations, but participants are not allowed to light or be near candles, flames or fire for safety and liability reasons.


We anticipate this ritual site would take roughly 30-45 minutes to complete all three demonstrations, which will be looped with a fifteen minute intermission to allow our fire mistress breaks throughout the evening.

Walnut behavior in a fire was one omen

Hazelnuts place in fire was yet another

Walnut shell boats was still yet another

The behavior of chestnuts when placed in a fire was still yet another.
