From the haunted bog fires of Ireland to the carved pumpkins on suburban porches, the jack-o'-lantern has always been more than a decoration-it is a vessel of fire, folklore, and spirit. The Lantern of Hollow Souls unearths the chilling history of the hollow light, tracing its origins in Celtic ritual, the legend of Stingy Jack, and the eerie will-o'-the-wisps that lured travelers to their doom.

This book restores the jack-o'-lantern to its magickal throne, revealing how carved faces are more than symbols of Halloween-they are living masks of protection and portals for ancestral guidance. Inside, you'll discover step-by-step rituals for enchanting lantern flames, carving protective sigils into faces, and using light as a liminal tool for warding, manifestation, and spirit communication.

Rich in folklore and practical ritual craft, this guide is both a history and a handbook. Whether you're a seasonal celebrant or a serious practitioner of magick, The Lantern of Hollow Souls will teach you how to awaken lanterns as guardians and allies. Light is no longer just a glow in the dark-it is a voice across the veil, a fire that remembers.
