Real-Life Addams Family Shares Halloween Spirit-Banishing Tips.

2 days ago7 min read

In a quiet corner of the UK, a family that would feel right at home in Charles Addams’ iconic cartoons is offering a masterclass in spiritual housekeeping, just in time for Halloween. JP Kenny, 35, and his partner, alongside their children, don't just decorate with plastic skeletons; they live with a palpable awareness of the other side, especially on Samhain, when the ancient Celts believed the veil between our world and the spirit world becomes as thin as gossamer.This isn't about theatrical scares for them; it's a practical matter of energetic hygiene, a concept that resonates deeply with modern spiritual seekers and psychologists alike who understand the impact of environment on well-being. Their tips are surprisingly grounded: the strategic placement of black tourmaline and obsidian crystals, not as mere trinkets but as metaphysical sponges for negative energy; the cleansing crackle of dried sage smoke, a practice borrowed from indigenous traditions now globalized, used to reset the emotional atmosphere of a room; and the simple, profound power of vocalized intention, of firmly telling unwelcome presences they are not welcome.Speaking with Kenny feels less like interviewing a gothic caricature and more like chatting with a thoughtful neighbor who happens to have a nuanced understanding of liminal spaces. He describes the feeling in their home during this thinning of the veil not as frightening, but as a 'heightened sensitivity,' a time for quiet reflection and setting protective boundaries, much like locking your doors at night in a particularly busy neighborhood.This real-life Addams family narrative taps into a universal human yearning—the desire for control in the face of the unknown. It’s a story that connects the dots between our ancestors who lit bonfires to ward off ghosts and our modern selves who burn scented candles to create a mood, revealing that the impulse to curate our spiritual and emotional environment is a timeless, and deeply human, pursuit.
