Halloween means powerful energies, and powerful energies call for a special ritual! On the night of October 31, a simple apple can whisper the first letter of your soulmate's name. It's an easy, playful ritual, handed down from an old love-divination game.
Here's how to do it step by step, why it belongs to Halloween night, and what the witch's hat, broom and pumpkin really mean. In the mood for more? Other love rituals are waiting for you too. So, which letter does Halloween night have in store for you?
✦
It's a very simple and fun ritual to perform alone or with friends on Halloween night.
What you'll need
The ritual, step by step:
1. Prepare your space. Find a quiet spot where nothing will distract you. A lit candle and soft light help set the mood.
2. Peel the apple in one piece. Take your time: the unbroken strip symbolizes the uninterrupted path that leads to your beloved.
3. Focus your intention. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and think hard about the love that is coming your way.
4. Blow, then let go. Blow gently on the peel to fill it with your intention, then drop it into the water.
5. Read the letter. The peel twists and takes the shape of a letter: it's the first letter of your beloved's name.
Focus, open your heart and make room for love!

Halloween descends from Samhain, the Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of the dark season, on the night of October 31 to November 1. That night, the veil between the world of the living and the Otherworld was said to be thinner than ever: the perfect moment to ask about the future, and about future love in particular.
The apple peel game comes from this tradition of love divination. In Ireland and Scotland, then in North America where immigrants brought it along, young women peeled an apple in a single strip and tossed it over their shoulder: the letter it formed on the floor revealed the initial of their future husband.
Here, a basin of water replaces the floor: the peel settles on the surface and takes shape on its own.

Cape, pointed hat, broom: everyone recognizes the Halloween witch, and plenty of us borrow her look when picking a costume for our zodiac sign. Yet each of her accessories carries meaning in the tradition.
Its shape is no accident: pointed, it channels energies, good and bad alike, to help witches center themselves and focus. It works a bit like a lightning rod.
Long before it became a ride, the broom had a spiritual meaning: it swept away evil spirits. To drive evil out of your home, sweep from east to west.
Placed outside the home, it turned evil spirits away and kept them from coming in. In Ireland, people first carved turnips; the pumpkin arrived with the immigrants in America.
Sliced crosswise, an apple reveals a five-pointed star at its core: the pentagram. A bay leaf placed on it is said to block evil.

Key takeaways 📌
Our editors' insight: what if the letter already has a face?
A letter opens a door, but it doesn't tell the whole story. A psychic can help you read what your heart is preparing and recognize that person when they appear, without ever deciding for you.
