A small flame inside a carved root can make an ordinary autumn night feel strange. This edition of The Folkloric Almanac follows the turnip and beet lanterns that appear in European seasonal customs, children’s processions, and stories of the returning dead.
It is a shorter, focused companion to the Hexenkunde magazine, drawing on historical and folkloric sources to explore one thread of the autumn calendar.

Sterling silver may darken naturally over time. This is normal and can usually be brightened again by polishing gently with a soft cloth.
To help keep your jewelry looking its best, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions, oils, and harsh cleaning products.
