Soul cakes are traditional small, spiced biscuits given to the poor and children during Allhallowtide (Halloween, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day) in medieval England, in exchange for prayers for the souls of the givers, especially the deceased in Purgatory. These spiced, cookie-like cakes, often marked with a cross, evolved from the "souling" custom and are considered a precursor to modern trick-or-treating.

Here's the original recipe, from 1604:

[Take flower and sugar and nutmeg and cloves and mace and sweet butter and sack and a little ale barm, beat your spice and put in your butter and your sack, cold, then work it well all together and make it in little cakes and so bake them, if you will you may put in some saffron into them or fruit.]

Look up and revel tonight under the light of October's full 🍁🍄🌾🍎Harvest Moon! 🌕️ It's a supermoon, meaning that it appears larger than a typical full Moon because it is closer to Earth. Tonight's Harvest Moon will reach peak illumination at 11:47 P.M. ET

October is my favorite time of the year, and today I want to look at the medieval origins, history, lore and strange traditions of this most splendid season.

Today is Michaelmas, the autumnal feast of the mighty St Michael the Archangel - in medieval tradition the guardian of high places, weigher of souls after death, heavenly warrior against the forces of evil, and defender against the dark. https://t.co/UxIhZ84HYs

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Today is Michaelmas, or the feast day of St Michael. I'm fascinated by the history, lore and legends surrounding this holiday, and I want to share some of what I've learned as there's much confusion among readers outside the UK. Let's learn together.
