About Seasonal

When October nights turn cold and the moon hangs full and low, the witch has always ruled the darkness — stirring her cauldron, whispering spells, and riding a broom across a sky lit only by stars. Her black cat moves silently beside her, eyes catching the candlelight, fur like a piece of the night itself. From village folklore to storybooks and Halloween doorsteps, this pair has cast their spell over the imagination for centuries.
